Matthies, H., Brenner, C., Bucher, C. and Guedes Soares, C. (1997), “Uncertainties in Probabilistic Numerical Analysis of Structures and Solids - Stochastic Finite Elements", Structural Safety, Vol. 19, Issue 3, pp. 283-336

The main sources of uncertainties involved in the analysis of structures and solids are shown and the tools available to deal with them. While trying to cover the complete modeling process, ranging from the problem formulation via the mathematical model all the way to the numerical approximation, we have tried to expose areas in need of further research. The techniques and methods involved in stochastic modeling are explained in somewhat more detail, as they are newer and less known than those used for the deterministic modeling.
