Description


This book – comprised of three separate volumes – presents the recent developments and research discoveries in structural and solid mechanics; it is dedicated to Professor Isaac Elishakoff. This third volume is devoted to non-deterministic mechanics.

Modern Trends in Structural and Solid Mechanics 3 has broad scope, covering topics such: design optimization under uncertainty, interval field approaches, convex analysis, quantum inspired topology optimization and stochastic dynamics. The book is illustrated by a lot of applications in the field of aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering and automotive engineering.

This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics.
