Collection of selected, peer-reviewed papers from the 3rd International Conference on Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering (ICUME). The aim of ICUME is to discuss criteria, methods, and technologies to describe, evaluate and control uncertainty in mechanical engineering applications. International scholars and specialists come together and provide a broad discussion forum on the description, evaluation, avoidance, elimination of and adaptation to uncertainty. It is the aim to control uncertainty throughout the entire lifetime in planning, development, production, and usage of mechanical structures and systems. Engineers, mathematicians and other experts working in uncertainty evaluation exchange the latest research results and share their experiences in uncertainty control.
The 24 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering
Chapter 2: Uncertainty of Structural Dynamic Improvements in Light Weight Design
Chapter 3: Modular Design and Scaling for Reduced Uncertainties in the Design Process
Chapter 4: Improved Product Quality by Online Monitoring and Closed-Loop Control of Manufacturing Processes
Chapter 5: Uncertainty in High Precision Manufacturing Processes
Chapter 6: Modelling Uncertainty Information by Means of Semantics
Chapter 7: Uncertainty Quantification
Chapter 8: Optimization under Uncertainty
Chapter 9: Binary Decisions under Uncertainty
This volume comprises a prestigious collection of refereed papers on Advanced Design and Manufacture. In the face of the current global financial crisis, it is extremely important to identify new technological needs and priorities in the fields of design and manufacture. The major topics tackled are: Engineering/product/industrial design, - Manufacture and production, - Engineering materials, - CAD/CAM/CAE, - Robotics, automation and control, - Sustainable technology, environment-friendly design and manufacture, - Web/Internet technologies, artificial intelligence and smart computing in design and manufacture, - Enterprise, management and supply chains.
