Mastering Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

members of Technische Universitt Darmstadt at that time, recognised that uncertainty often propagates un-managed through the product life cycle. Even though tolerance synthesis and, already at that time, uncertainty quantification was a large field of science, it was recognised that a holistic strategy to master uncertainty throughout the product life cycle was missing. In other words, mastering uncertainty in the synthesis and usage was identified to have a much broader implication than quantification of uncertainty in the phases of the product life cycle. In fact, mastering uncertainty includes uncertainty quantification.
