Download or read book Engineering Uncertainty and Risk Analysis written by Sergio E. Serrano and published by Hydroscience Incorporated. This book was released on 2011 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering Uncertainty and Risk Analysis offers an integrated coverage of the subjects of probability, statistics, Monte Carlo simulation, descriptive and inferential statistics, design of experiments, systems reliability, fitting random data to models, analysis of variance (ANOVA), stochastic processes, and stochastic differential equations. The author for first time presents an introduction to the broad field of engineering uncertainty analysis in one comprehensive, friendly, coverage. The focus is on engineering applications, rather than theoretical or mathematical considerations. Each concept is illustrated with several examples (177 solved examples) of relevance in engineering applications (no cards, colored balls, or dice). This second edition includes many new research advances in nonlinear stochastic equations; new simple methods to solve and graph boundary-value problems in several dimensions without the need of perturbation, or complex traditional analytical or numerical techniques; 478 pages; 177 solved examples; 147 proposed problems; 174 illustrations, 69 short computer programs; and 51 data and statistical tables
