Probabilistic mechanics
Numerical simulation : a tool for the technological innovations

In the design of industrial products, the methods used are deterministic. These methods do not make it possible to assess safety margins or to study the influence of design parameter variability on the structure's response to stresses. The lack of control over these hazards leads manufacturers to introduce safety factors depending on the application and the potential risk of serious accidents. To overcome this shortcoming, mechano-probabilistic methods have been developed with...
