Abstract: Engineering design and technological risk assessment both entail learning or discovering new knowledge. Optimal learning is a procedure whereby new knowledge is obtained while minimizing some specific measure of effort ...

Abstract: It has been widely recognized that the inevitable uncertainties in both operational experiments and numerical analyses require efforts to be addressed appropriately within the overall area of Computational Mechanics ...

Abstract: The aim of this work is to propose an indicator, based on the info-gap approach, which assesses the robustness of the dynamic response of the model of a structure to lack of knowledge in the associated eigensolutions. The ...
