2. Stochastic model of design variables
Paragraph 2 deals with the modeling of uncertainty, i.e. the representation of design variables by random variables. It then defines the two types of analysis that combine mechanics and probability: sensitivity analysis and reliability analysis.
2.1 Stochastic model
Each variable X is considered as a random variable with a probability density f X (x ). It is also necessary to take into account the dependency between the variables.
