Method of probability analysis of static stochastic temperature fields in technical objects

An efficient method is proposed for calculating the mathematical expectations, the correlation matrix, and the variances of static stochastic temperature fields for complicated technical objects with random parameters and under random conditions. The technical systems are modelled by equivalent electrical circuits with random elements. The method is exact and much more efficient than the Monte Carlo method.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 61, No. 5, pp. 838–844, November, 1991.
