2nd International Conference on Uncertainty in Structural Dynamics
15th - 17th June 2009 at The University of Sheffield, UK.
15th - 17th June 2009 at The University of Sheffield, UK.
Modern engineering relies increasingly on computer simulations and modelling for a wide range of processes in the design to decommissioning life cycle - from design and prototyping, through production planning, manufacture and in-service monitoring and ending with a safe decommission. This virtual approach usually offers clear financial and/or environmental advantages. However, a fundamental concern is that the modelling process must be robust to uncertainty.
The first conference, held in Sheffield in 2007, addressed the whole range of issues relating to uncertainty in the specific field of structural dynamics ranging from questions of a fundamental nature through to applications. The second conference will retain the same scope.
