Probabilistic Concepts in Engineering Design |
Syllabus |
[Aims and Scopes]
This course enhances fundamental understandings on probabilistic approach for engineering design. Engineers must make an optimal decision with unknown or uncertain parameters. For the purpose of smart, reasonable and reliable design, this course provides quite important materials.
This course aims 1)to develop profound learning about reliability and safety on structural design and 2)to understand designing methods invoking probabilistic approach.
