Part B: Mechanical Engineering

Purpose

ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering disseminates research findings, best practices and concerns, and discussion and debate on risk and uncertainty related issues. The journal reports on the full range of risk and uncertainty analysis state-of-art and state-of-practice relating to mechanical engineering, including but not limited to risk quantification based on hazard identification, scenario development and rate quantification, consequence assessment, valuations, perception, communication, risk-informed decision making, design for resilience, uncertainty analysis and modeling, and other related areas.

Scope

Risk and reliability analysis methods; Uncertainty analysis and quantification; Resilience assessment and design for resilience, Optimization under uncertainty; Computational methods; Applications areas including every aspect of mechanical engineering systems, such as mechanical assets and infrastructure, materials and electromechanical systems, energy, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and marine systems, bioengineering, and nuclear engineering.

Diversity and Inclusion

The Technical Committee on Publications and Communications endorses the commitment of ASME to support diversity and to create and ensure inclusive and ethical practices for publishing as well as the science and engineering professions.
