How Can Spatially Distributed Uncertainties Be Included in FEA and in Parameter Estimation for Model Updating?

Owing to manufacturing composite materials and others show considerable uncertainties in wall-thickness, fluctuations in material properties and other parameter, which are spatially distributed over the structure. These uncertainties have a random character and can therefore not being reduced by som...
