Uncertainty is a fundamental part of engineering. It is present in all aspects of the engineering process, from the design of a product to its manufacture and operation. Uncertainty can arise from a variety of sources, including:

Lack of knowledge about the system being studied
Measurement errors
Variability in materials and manufacturing processes
Unknown or changing operating conditions

Uncertainty can have a significant impact on the performance and safety of a product. It can lead to:

Increased risk of failure
Reduced performance
Increased costs
Delays in project completion

Managing uncertainty is essential for the success of any engineering project. Uncertainty quantification and management (UQ/UM) is a set of techniques that can be used to identify, quantify, and manage uncertainty in engineering systems. UQ/UM techniques can be used to:

Improve the accuracy and reliability of engineering predictions
Reduce the risk of failure
Optimize the design and operation of engineering systems
Make better decisions in the face of uncertainty

Mastering Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering is a comprehensive guide to the state-of-the-art in uncertainty quantification and management in mechanical engineering. It covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of uncertainty quantification to advanced techniques for uncertainty analysis, risk assessment and reliability engineering. The book also provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of software tools that are available for uncertainty quantification in mechanical engineering.

Mastering Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering is an essential resource for any engineer who wants to improve the accuracy and reliability of their engineering predictions, reduce the risk of failure, and optimize the design and operation of engineering systems.
