The objective of this paper is to critically review the emerging non-probabilistic approaches
for uncertainty treatment in finite element analysis. The paper discusses general theoretical …

In this paper, the transformation method is introduced as a powerful approach for both the
simulation and the analysis of systems with uncertain model parameters. Based on the …

Spatially uncertain parameters are traditionally represented by random field models.
However, the large amount of information required for construction of precise probability …

The propagation of uncertainty in composite structures possesses significant computational
challenges. Moreover, probabilistic descriptions of uncertain model parameters are not …

Over the last few decades, uncertainty quantification in composite materials and structures
has gained a lot of attention from the research community as a result of industrial …

Due to the absence of adequate control at different stages of complex manufacturing
process, material and geometric properties of composite structures are often uncertain. For a …
