商品描述

Bayesian methods are a powerful tool in many areas of science and engineering, especially statistical physics, medical sciences, electrical engineering, and information sciences. They are also ideal for civil engineering applications, given the numerous types of modeling and parametric uncertainty in civil engineering problems. For example, earthquake ground motion cannot be predetermined at the structural design stage. Complete wind pressure profiles are difficult to measure under operating conditions. Material properties can be difficult to determine to a very precise level - especially concrete, rock, and soil. For air quality prediction, it is difficult to measure the hourly/daily pollutants generated by cars and factories within the area of concern. It is also difficult to obtain the updated air quality information of the surrounding cities. Furthermore, the meteorological conditions of the day for prediction are also uncertain. These are just some of the civil engineering examples to which Bayesian probabilistic methods are applicable.
  • Familiarizes readers with the latest developments in the field
  • Includes identification problems for both dynamic and static systems
  • Addresses challenging civil engineering problems such as modal/model updating
  • Presents methods applicable to mechanical and aerospace engineering
  • Gives engineers and engineering students a concrete sense of implementation
  • Covers real-world case studies in civil engineering and beyond, such as:
    • structural health monitoring
    • seismic attenuation
    • finite-element model updating
    • hydraulic jump
    • artificial neural network
    • air quality prediction
  • Includes other insightful daily-life examples
  • Companion website with MATLAB code downloads for independent practice
  • Written by a leading expert in the use of Bayesian methods for civil engineering problems

This book is ideal for researchers and graduate students in civil and mechanical engineering or applied probability and statistics. Practicing engineers interested in the application of statistical methods to solve engineering problems will also find this to be a valuable text.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

貝葉斯方法在科學和工程的許多領域中是一個強大的工具,尤其在統計物理學、醫學科學、電氣工程和信息科學方面。對於土木工程應用來說,它們也是理想的,因為土木工程問題中存在著多種建模和參數不確定性。例如,在結構設計階段無法預先確定地震地面運動。在運行條件下測量完整的風壓分布是困難的。材料特性可能很難精確確定,尤其是混凝土、岩石和土壤。對於空氣質量預測,很難測量區域內汽車和工廠產生的每小時/每天的污染物。同時,獲取周圍城市的最新空氣質量信息也很困難。此外,用於預測的當天氣象條件也是不確定的。這些只是土木工程中應用貝葉斯概率方法的一些例子。

本書使讀者熟悉該領域的最新發展,包括動態和靜態系統的識別問題,解決了諸如模態/模型更新等具有挑戰性的土木工程問題,介紹了機械和航空航天工程可應用的方法,讓工程師和工程學生對實施有具體的感覺。書中還涵蓋了土木工程和其他領域的實際案例研究,例如結構健康監測、地震減震、有限元模型更新、水力跳躍、人工神經網絡、空氣質量預測等。此外,還包括其他有洞察力的日常生活例子。

這本書非常適合土木和機械工程、應用概率和統計學的研究人員和研究生閱讀。對於將統計方法應用於解決工程問題的實踐工程師來說,這本書也是一本有價值的教材。
