Isaac Elishakoff and Makoto Ohsaki, Optimization and Anti-optimization of Structures Under Uncertainty, World Scientific, 2010, 424 pages

Review by Dr. Abbas Moustafa:
One of the most excellent books on optimization of structures under uncertain loads. The book treats a variety of problems in uncertainty including load uncertainty and structural variability/imperfections. The simple way followed in the book and the numerical examples provided make this book an excellent source of learning for students, researchers and teachers.
