Synopsis

Fundamentals of Uncertainty Quantification for Engineers: Methods and Models provides a comprehensive introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) accompanied by a wide variety of applied examples and implementation details to reinforce the concepts outlined in the book. Sections start with an introduction to the history of probability theory and an overview of recent developments of UQ methods in the domains of applied mathematics and data science. Major concepts of copula, Monte Carlo sampling, Markov chain Monte Carlo, polynomial regression, Gaussian process regression, polynomial chaos expansion, stochastic collocation, Bayesian inference, modelform uncertainty, multi-fidelity modeling, model validation, local and global sensitivity analyses, linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction are included. Advanced UQ methods are also introduced, including stochastic processes, stochastic differential equations, random fields, fractional stochastic differential equations, hidden Markov model, linear Gaussian state space model, as well as non-probabilistic methods such as robust Bayesian analysis, Dempster-Shafer theory, imprecise probability, and interval probability. The book also includes example applications in multiscale modeling, reliability, fatigue, materials design, machine learning, and decision making.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Dr. Yan Wang is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He leads the Multiscale Systems Engineering Research Group at Georgia Tech. His research interests include probabilistic and non‐probabilistic approaches to quantify uncertainty in both physics‐based and data‐driven models for multiscale systems engineering for materials design. He has over 200 publications, including the first book on uncertainty quantification in multiscale materials modelling co‐edited with David McDowell.

Dr. Anh V. Tran is a research staff member at the Department of Scientific Machine Learning, Sandia National Laboratories. His research areas include uncertainty quantification, optimization, machine learning for multiscale computational materials science.

David L. McDowell Ph.D. is Regents' Professor Emeritus at the Georgia Institute of Technology, having joined Georgia Tech as a faculty member in 1983. His research focuses on multiscale modelling of materials with emphasis on multiscale modeling of the inelastic behavior of metals, microstructure-sensitive computational fatigue analysis of microstructures, methods for materials design that are robust against uncertainty, and coarse-grained atomistic modelling methods.
