{"product_id":"9781118481837","title":"The Stochastic Perturbation Method for Computational Mechanics","description":"Probabilistic analysis is increasing in popularity and importance within engineering and the applied sciences. However, the stochastic perturbation technique is a fairly recent development and therefore remains as yet unknown to many students, researchers and engineers. Fields in which the methodology can be applied are widespread, including various branches of engineering, heat transfer and statistical mechanics, reliability assessment and also financial investments or economical prognosis in analytical and computational contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStochastic Perturbation Method in Applied Sciences and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is devoted to the theoretical aspects and computational implementation of the generalized stochastic perturbation technique. It is based on any order Taylor expansions of random variables and enables for determination of up to fourth order probabilistic moments and characteristics of the physical system response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a grounding in the basic elements of statistics and probability and reliability engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the Stochastic Finite, Boundary Element and Finite Difference Methods, formulated according to the perturbation method \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates dual computational implementation of the perturbation method with the use of Direct Differentiation Method and the Response Function Method \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website (www.wiley.com\/go\/kaminski) with supporting stochastic numerical software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the computational implementation of the homogenization method for periodic composites with random and stochastic material properties\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures case studies, numerical examples and practical applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStochastic Perturbation Method in Applied Sciences and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers, and is an ideal introduction to the subject for postgraduate and graduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134455464176,"sku":"9781118481837","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118481837_p0.jpg?v=1769888517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118481837","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
