Objetivo In order to calculate the answer's statistical distributions, a new approach is being explored. The first phase of this project aims at refining the mathematical and computational underpinnings of this approach.Industrial companies are increasingly interested in the non-deterministic aspects of systems, structures and processes design, and how uncertainty should be taken into account when dealing with optimisation issues, in the analysis and non-deterministic optimisation possibilities.The main difficulties of the stochastic methods lies in the evaluation of the answer's statistical distributions, with methods whose computational costs become prohibitive as the number of parameters increases or the expected confidence levels are high (Monte-Carlo Methods) or methods whose hypotheses are too restrictive (Stochastic finite Element Methods).
