Zusatztext Those who work on applications of elementary FEM and simple static stochastic structures with large stochastic variation will likely find the book a satisfactory and an informative one. Klappentext The finite element method (FEM) can be successfully applied to various field problems in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and electrical engineering. FEM is a numerical method widely used in computer aided engineering, which allows for modelling and analysis of engineering and mathematicalproblems, e.g. safety testing. This reference text is the first to discuss finite element methods for structures with large stochastic variations. Stochastic variations are those that follow a random probability distribution or pattern and whose behavior may be analyzed statistically but notpredicted precisely. Graduate students, lecturers and researchers in mathematics, engineering and scientific computation will find this a very useful reference. This book is the latest in the Oxford Texts in Applied and Engineering Mathematics Series, which includes textx based on taught coursesthat explain the mathematical or computational techniques required for the resolution of fundamental applied problems, from the undergraduate through to the graduate level.
