The book provides a self-contained treatment of stochastic finite element methods. The book covers the basic topics of computational stochastic mechanics focusing on the stochastic analysis of structural systems in the framework of the finite element method.
Stochastic processes.- Representation of a stochastic process.- Stochastic finite element method.- Reliability analysis.
“This book stands as an introduction to stochastic finite elements, with applications to the estimation of the responses variability and the reliability of stochastic systems. … Throughout this useful book, the reader (for example, a mathematician or an engineer) will find interesting numerical examples and exercises.” (Dimitra C. Antonopoulou, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2018)
