Publisher's Synopsis
The papers in this volume form a bridge between the mathematical and engineering theories in the application of stochastic differential equations. The engineering aspects are represented by a broad spectrum of potential applications and their heuristic or pragmatic approaches to a variety of problems. The mathematical aspects discuss the errors inherent in numerical procedures and provide appropriate theoretical frameworks. The 27 papers presented in this volume testify to the achievement of Euromech 250 in bringing engineers and mathematicians together in the successful dissemination of recent developments in nonlinear structural systems.
