This is enhanced by the inclusion of relevant real-world case studies. The book will be useful for researchers, engineers, and designers of complex, multi-parameter technical systems that must guarantee a specified level of functional reliability. It presents several real-world case studies helping to comprehend in detail the developed techniques and their benefits. In addition, it offers free access to the online toolboxes developed by the authors to support the calculation of uncertainties and guides the readers on the practical use of such tools UR - https://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-4931-4 ER -
