The importance of considering uncertainties in mechanical engineering to improve the performance of future products or systems is becoming increasingly evident. In many cases, it has become a competitive advantage and even a necessity to ensure an increasingly high safety requirement. Mechanical Engineering in Uncertainties is a comprehensive guide that addresses the challenges of modeling, quantifying, and propagating uncertainties. It explores how to incorporate uncertainties into reliability analyses and optimization processes to enhance the performance and reliability of mechanical systems.

The book covers a wide range of methods, including classical approaches and more recent developments and advanced methods. Concrete examples from various fields of mechanics, such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and fluid mechanics, are used to illustrate the methodologies. This book is designed to cater to both (young) researchers and engineers who are interested in the treatment of uncertainties in mechanical engineering.

By understanding and addressing uncertainties, mechanical engineers can develop more robust and reliable products and systems that can withstand the unpredictable challenges of the real world. It is essential to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in this field to remain competitive and ensure the safety of users and the environment.
