Abstract

Many uncertain natural or technical phenomena are most realistically described by random fields. A typical example of a random field is the load effect in a floor slab which is loaded by a spatially distributed gravity load. Other examples of random fields include the sea-level around off-shore platforms. the distribution of material strength in a cross-section of a structural component. the concentration of detergents in ground water. the velocities or pressures in a turbulent medium or on surfaces.
