Good practical structural design accounts for uncertainty, for which reliability-based design offers a standard approach, usually incorporating assumptions on probability functions which are often unknown. By comparison, a worst-case approach with bounded support used as a robust design offers simplicity and a lower level of sensitivity. Linking structural optimization with these two approaches by a unified framework of non-parametric stochastic methodologies provides a rigorous theoretical background and high level of practicality. This text shows how to use this theoretical framework in civil and mechanical engineering practice to design a safe structure which accounts for uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnects theory with practice in the robust design optimization of structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced enough to support sound practical designs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides comprehensive coverage for engineers and graduate students in civil and mechanical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakoto Yamakawa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor at Tokyo University of Science, and a member of the Advisory Board of the 2020 Asian Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakoto Ohsaki\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor at Kyoto University, Japan, treasurer of the International Association for Shell \u0026amp; Spatial Structures and former President of the Asian Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Makoto Yamakawa,Makoto Ohsaki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036772040X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367720407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Makoto Yamakawa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48748323897599,"sku":"9780367720407","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stochastic-structural-optimization-makoto-yamakawa-9780367720407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
