ICOSSAR'09 will encompass every aspect of safety and reliability of structures and civil engineering systems, with special focus on advanced technologies, analytical and computational methods of risk analysis, probability based design and regulations, smart systems and materials, life cycle cost analysis, damage assessment, social aspects, urban planning, and commercial applications. Emerging concepts as well as state of the art and novel applications of reliability principles in all types of structural systems and mechanical components will be included. Systems for civil, marine, mechanical, transportation, and aerospace applications will be discussed.
USD2007 - 1st International Conference on Uncertainty in Structural Dynamics
11th - 13th June 2007 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.
This conference intends to address the whole range of issues relating to uncertainty in the specific field of structural dynamics and will range from questions of a fundamental nature through to applications.
