Probabilistic & Stochastic FEA

The aim of the seminar is to raise awareness of the principles and present the application of probabilistic & stochastic FEA as an emerging technology.

Objectives

Following attendance at the seminar, delegates will be able to:

• Understand the meaning of “uncertainty” and “probability of failure”, with close reference to existing and forthcoming codes (principally the Eurocodes)
• Appreciate the potential impact of uncertainty on design through sensitivities
• Appreciate the application & benefits of probabilistic and stochastic FEA from analysis case studies & hands-on activities
• Appreciate the application & benefits of probabilistic and stochastic FEA from robust-optimisation case studies
• Appreciate the future directions & development in the application of probabilistic and stochastic FEA.

Themes

A detailed agenda will be available in due course.

Introduction, aims & objectives of the seminar

Meaning of “uncertainty” and “probability of failure”

Exploring the potential impact of uncertainty on design – an introduction to numerical experiments and uncertainty sensitivities

Application & benefits of probabilistic and stochastic FEA from analysis case studies

Application & benefits of probabilistic and stochastic FEA from robust-optimisation case studies

Future directions & development in the application of probabilistic and stochastic FEA + close

A workshop will follow on from this seminar in approximately 6 months time. The aim of the workshop is to describe and demonstrate the practical implementation of probabilistic & stochastic FEA. Please keep visiting the website for an announcement of the date and further details of the event.
