It is well\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknown that the difficulty in predicting the response statistics of such structures is immense, due to the complexity of the structure, the large number of variables which might be uncertain, and the inevitable lack of data regarding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe statistical distribution of these variables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Symposium participants presented the latest thinking in this very active research area, and novel techniques were presented covering the full frequency spectrum of low, mid, and high frequency vibration problems. It was demonstrated that for high frequency vibrations the response statistics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecan saturate and become independent of the detailed distribution of the uncertain system parameters. A number of presentations exploited this physical behaviour by using and extending methods originally developed in both\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ephenomenological thermodynamics and in the fields of quantum mechanics and random matrix theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor low frequency vibrations a number of presentations focussed on parametric uncertainty modelling (for example, probabilistic models, interval analysis, and fuzzy descriptions) and on methods of propagating this uncertainty through a large dynamic model in an effi cient way. At mid frequencies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe problem is mixed, and various hybrid schemes were proposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is clear that a comprehensivesolution to the problem of predicting the vibration response of uncertain structures across the whole frequency range requires expertise across a wide range of areas (including probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods, interval and info-gap analysis, statistical energy analysis, statistical thermodynamics, random wave approaches, and large\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003escale computations) and this IUTAM symposium presented a unique opportunity to bring together outstanding international experts in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-01-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400734579\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-0289-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 470\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45605224579212,"sku":"9789400734579","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400734579.jpg?v=1779510194","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789400734579","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
