Ebook: Uncertainty quantification in laminated composites: a meta-model based approach

Uncertainty quantification in composite materials and structures has gained immense attention from the research community over the last few decades. This book presents efficient uncertainty quantification schemes following meta-model-based approaches for stochasticity in material and geometric parameters of laminated composite structures. Several meta-models have been studied for this purpose and comparative results are presented for different static and dynamic responses. In addition, results for sensitivity analyses are presented to provide a complete understanding of the relative importance of different material and geometric parameters in global responses of the structure.  Read more...
