Uncertainty Analysis in Engineering and Sciences Vol I

Encyclopaedia of Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis in Civil Engineering covers study of uncertainty modeling and analysis in civil engineering. Uncertainty has been of concern to engineers, managers and scientists for many centuries. Uncertainty analysis investigates the uncertainty of variables that are used in decision-making problems in which observations and models represent the knowledge base.

The problem of modeling uncertainty adequately has become more important the more complex systems have become, the faster the scientific and engineering world develops, and the more important, but also more difficult, forecasting of future states of systems have become. The volume “Uncertainty Analysis in Engineering and Sciences” is divided into eighth chapters.

1. Declarative Representation of Uncertainty in Mathematical Models

2. Imprecise Probabilities in Engineering Analyses

3. Dealing with Uncertainty in Model Updating for Damage Assessment: A Review

4. A Fuzzy-Based Approach to Comprehensive Modeling and Analysis of Systems with Epistemic Uncertainties

5. Optimal Consumer Search with Prospect Utility in Hybrid Uncertain Environment

6. Existence and Uniqueness of the Solution to Uncertain Fractional Differential Equation

7. Numerical Uncertainty and its Implications

8. Uncertainty in a Measurement of Density Dependence on Population Fluctuations
