Is My Model Good Enough? Best Practices for Verification and Validation of Musculoskeletal Models and Simulations of Movement
TL;DR: Practical guidelines for verification and validation of NMS models and simulations are established that researchers, clinicians, reviewers, and others can adopt to evaluate the accuracy and credibility of modeling studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive Designs of Experiments for Accurate Approximation of a Target Region
TL;DR: An iterative strategy to build designs of experiments is proposed, which is based on an explicit trade-off between reduction of global uncertainty and exploration of the regions of interest, which shows that a substantial reduction of error can be achieved in the crucial regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive explicit decision functions for probabilistic design and optimization using support vector machines
Anirban Basudhar,Samy Missoum +1 more
TL;DR: This article presents a methodology to generate explicit decision functions using support vector machines (SVM) and proposes an adaptive sampling scheme that updates the decision function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of reliability computational models using Bayes networks
Sankaran Mahadevan,Ramesh Rebba +1 more
TL;DR: The methodology includes uncertainty in the experimental measurement, and the posterior and prior distributions of the model output are used to compute a validation metric based on Bayesian hypothesis testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive probability analysis using an enhanced hybrid mean value method
TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive probability analysis method is proposed to generate the probability distribution of the output performance function by identifying the propagation of input uncertainty to output uncertainty, which is based on an enhanced hybrid mean value (HMV+) analysis in the performance measure approach.

Splice Length of GFRP Rebars Based on Flexural Tests of Unconfined RC Members
TL;DR: In this article, the average bond stresses that develop between GFRP bars and concrete were determined through non-linear analysis of the cross-sections, and an average bond stress prediction equation was derived utilizing two-variable linear regres- sion.
Time-dependent failure analysis of large block size riprap as bank protection in mountain rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of packed placement of riprap on sizing, the resistance to failure and the time to failure of the riprap was investigated by means of 123 series of systematic tests of compressed riprap and 34 tests of dumped ones.

Inverse FORM method for probabilistic fatigue prognosis
Yibing Xiang,Yongming Liu +1 more
TL;DR: A general probabilistic life prediction methodology for accurate and efficient fatigue prognosis is proposed in this article, which is based on an inverse first-order reliability method (FORM) to evaluate the fatigue life at an arbitrary reliability level.

Reliability analysis of frame structures using radial basis function neural networks
A Ghorbani,Mohammad Reza Ghasemi +1 more
TL;DR: A hybrid method consisting of Monte Carlo simulation and RBFNN is proposed in the present study to approximate the LSF or failure function of the structure and, by introducing the derived approximate LSF, the failure probability can be easily estimated.
