International Conference on Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering (ICUME)

The aim of ICUME is to discuss methods and technologies to describe, evaluate and control uncertainty in mechanical engineering applications. International scholars and specialists will get together to provide a broad forum discussing description, evaluation, avoidance, elimination of and adaptation to uncertainty in planning, development, production and usage of mechanical structures, systems and machines throughout their complete lifetime. Engineers, mathematicians and any other area of expertise working on uncertainty evaluation are welcome to exchange latest research results and applications of uncertainty control.

During its life cycle, each engineering product goes through different phases within planning and product development as well as within production and usage. Uncertainty occurs in all phases and thus decisively influences processing properties and thereby product properties.

Uncertainty in Product Development

Robust Product Design, Assessment and Mathematical Optimisation, Information Models, Computational Visualisation.

Uncertainty in Production

Mathematical Process Optimisation, Flexible and Adaptive Manufacturing Systems, Process Reliability, Manufacturing of Smart Structures.

Uncertainty in Usage

Monitoring, Vibration Control and Reduction, Stabilisation Control, Shape and Position Control, Fault Diagnosis, Passive and Mechatronic/Active Systems, Passive/Semi Active/Active Damping.
