Uncertainty quantification software
The Chair of Risk, Safety and Uncertainty Quantification develops the general-purpose software external page UQLab since 2015. The software is a fully open-source Matlab toolbox, which has gathered more than 5500 users from 94 countries and hundreds of institutions all over the world. The software is free of use for academics, governmental institutions as well as private companies. Interested in possible applications in your field ? Look at the list of publications that make use of UQLab external page here.
Since 2021, a python version of UQLab is available through UQCloud, a cloud-based, language-agnostic API, which can be used through the external page UQ[py]Lab bindings in any python environment.
To foster the dissemination of probabilistic methods in engineering and uncertainty quantification techniques, the Chair also moderates the external page UQWorld forum since 2019. Hundreds of users, whether beginners or experts, share their questions and knowledge on UQ.
Technical dictionary
The technical dictionary was created in 1995 at the ETH Zurich in collaboration with the EPF Lausanne and the then engineering school in Lugano - Scuola tecnica superiore (scuola d'ingegneria) STS Lugano. It was intended to simplify teaching and research in the fields of structural analysis and design by providing a translation of the 700 most common technical terms in German, English, French and Italian.
It can be downloaded free of charge in this form:
In the meantime, the technical dictionary has been extended in expandable form to include countless other terms and other languages. It is available in this form on the homepage of the IVBH/IABSE under the following link:
