Uncertainty Analysis of Mechanical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to solutions for and discussions of measuring uncertainties in mechanics, stochastic modeling, uncertainty quantification and analysis, modeling, design of systems in the presence of uncertainty.

Contributions shall cover the broad interdisciplinary spectrum of scientific uncertainties in mechanics and present recent advances in theory, development of methods, and applications in practice.

The main topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

• Stochastic processes in energy;
• Reliability and optimal safety factors;
• Stochastic modeling and uncertainty quantification;
• Measuring uncertainties in mechanics;
• Computational methods for the solution of problems in engineering;
• Mathematical models and their numerical solution in all areas of mechanics;
• Uncertainties in solid/structural mechanics; 
• Uncertainties in fluid mechanics;
• Uncertainties in multiphysics systems;
• Systems of governed by differential equations, possibly with multiscale features;
• Propagation of uncertainty across scales;
• Bayesian computation and machine learning techniques;
• Stochastic multiscale systems;
• Evolutionary computing-based uncertain optimization methods;
• Modern experiments and modeling approaches;
• Applications of uncertainty quantification in all areas of physical sciences.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
