Philosophies os Structural Safety and Reliability

by Issac Elishakoff
Book Description

Uncertainty is certain to be found in structural engineering, making it crucial to structure design. This book covers three competing philosophies behind structural safety and reliability: probabilistic analysis, fuzzy set-based treatments, and the convex approach.

Explaining the theory behind probabilistic analysis, fuzzy set-based treatments, and the convex approach in detail, alongside their implementation, use, and benefits, the book compares and contrasts these methods, enabling the reader to solve problems associated with uncertainty. These uncertainty issues can be seen in civil engineering structures, risk of earthquakes, impact of rough seas on ships, and turbulence affecting aerospace vehicles. Building on the authors’ many years of experience in the field, Philosophies of Structural Safety and Reliability is an essential guide to structural uncertainty. Topics covered in the book include properties of materials and their structural deterioration, safety factor and reliability, risk evaluation and loads, and their combinations.

This book will be of interest to students and professionals in the fields of aerospace, civil, mechanical, marine, and ocean engineering.

    Studies in Computational Intelligence 
    by Emmanuel E Gdoutos

    The series “Studies in Computational Intelligence” (SCI) publishes new developments and advances in the various areas of computational intelligence—quickly and with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life sciences, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Of particular value to both the contributors and the readership are the short publication timeframe and the world-wide distribution, which enable both wide and rapid dissemination of research output.

    Indexed by SCOPUS, DBLP, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago.

    All books published in the series are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.

    Experimental Mechanics – An Introduction
    by Emmanuel E Gdoutos

    The purpose of this book is to present in a clear, simple, straightforward, novel and unified manner the most used methods of experimental mechanics of solids for the determination of displacements, strains and stresses. Emphasis is given on the principles of operation of the various methods, not in their applications to engineering problems. For more information on the methods presented in the book there is an extensive bibliography at the end of each chapter. The book is divided into sixteen chapters.
    Today’s experimentalist armed with a strong background in numerical methods and computer techniques and deep understanding of the basic experimental methods should have the tools necessary to solve problems of structural behaviour and material characterization at the nano-, micro- and macro-scale levels. Needless to say, that the most valuable virtues of an experimentalists are not his/her technical skills, but honesty and integrity. Experimental results should be presented as obtained from the tests, unbiased of any relations with analytical solutions, in case they exist. This most valuable virtue should be cultivated in classrooms and laboratories.
    The book provides the basics of the most used methods of experimental mechanics for measuring displacements, strains and stresses. It is hoped that it will be used not only as a learning tool, but as a basis on which the researcher, the engineer, the experimentalist, the student can develop their new own ideas to promote research in experimental mechanics of solids.
