{"product_id":"bayesian-methods-for-structura-ka-veng-yuen-9780470824542","title":"Bayesian Methods for Structura","description":"\u003cp\u003eBayesian methods are a powerful tool in many areas of science and engineering, especially statistical physics, medical sciences, electrical engineering, and information sciences. They are also ideal for civil engineering applications, given the numerous types of modeling and parametric uncertainty in civil engineering problems. For example, earthquake ground motion cannot be predetermined at the structural design stage. Complete wind pressure profiles are difficult to measure under operating conditions. Material properties can be difficult to determine to a very precise level - especially concrete, rock, and soil. For air quality prediction, it is difficult to measure the hourly\/daily pollutants generated by cars and factories within the area of concern. It is also difficult to obtain the updated air quality information of the surrounding cities. Furthermore, the meteorological conditions of the day for prediction are also uncertain. These are just some of the civil engineering examples to which Bayesian probabilistic methods are applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFamiliarizes readers with the latest developments in the field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes identification problems for both dynamic and static systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses challenging civil engineering problems such as modal\/model updating\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents methods applicable to mechanical and aerospace engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives engineers and engineering students a concrete sense of implementation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers real-world case studies in civil engineering and beyond, such as: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003estructural health monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eseismic attenuation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efinite-element model updating\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehydraulic jump\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eartificial neural network for damage detection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eair quality prediction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes other insightful daily-life examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompanion website with MATLAB code downloads for independent practice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by a leading expert in the use of Bayesian methods for civil engineering problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is ideal for researchers and graduate students in civil and mechanical engineering or applied probability and statistics.
