New Publication on Decision making and design in structural engineering problems under polymorphic uncertainty


A new paper with the title “Decision making and design in structural engineering problems under polymorphic uncertainty” is published in the journal Engineering Structures. The paper is a joint work of researchers from Structural Mechanics Institutes at TU Berlin, Ruhr University Bochum and Bauhaus University Weimar within the DFG Priority Program “Polymorphic Uncertainty Modeling for the Numerical Design of Structures” (SPP 1886). In the paper, three individual solutions of a benchmark example of a portal frame structure including various uncertainties are presented. A focus is set on the quantification of epistemic uncertainties and its consequences for decision making with respect to structural safety and the structural design under consideration of polymorphic uncertainties.
