The objective of controlling uncertainty in mechanical engineering is significantly to enhance safety, reliability and economic efficiency in the development, production, use and conservation of natural resources. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This special collection of 19 peer-reviewed papers offers an academic and industrial perspective on the description, evaluation and control of uncertainty in: 1 Development, 2 Production and 3 Usage. This work should meet the needs of a broad readership, and motivate further investigations.
