Good practical structural design accounts for uncertainty, for which reliability-based design offers a standard approach, usually incorporating assumptions on probability functions which are often unknown. By comparison, a worst-case approach with bounded support used as a robust design offers simplicity and a lower level of sensitivity. Linking structural optimization with these two approaches by a unified framework of non-parametric stochastic methodologies provides a rigorous theoretical background and high level of practicality. This text shows how to use this theoretical framework in civil and mechanical engineering practice to design a safe structure which accounts for uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnects theory with practice in the robust design optimization of structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced enough to support sound practical designs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides comprehensive coverage for engineers and graduate students in civil and mechanical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakoto Yamakawa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor at Tokyo University of Science, and a member of the Advisory Board of the 2020 Asian Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakoto Ohsaki\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor at Kyoto University, Japan, treasurer of the International Association for Shell \u0026amp; Spatial Structures and former President of the Asian Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46863132590231,"sku":"9780367720407","price":7304.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367720407.webp?v=1769969001","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stochastic-structural-optimization-9780367720407","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
