Journal ArticleDOI
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.

A RSM Method for Nonlinear Probabilistic Analysis of the Reinforced Concrete Structure Failure of a Nuclear Power Plant - Type VVER 440
TL;DR: In this article, the reliability analysis of a concrete containment for VVER 440 under a high internal overpressure is presented, where uncertainties of the loads level, the material model (concrete cracking and crushing, behavior of the reinforcement and liner), degradation effects and other influences following from the inaccuracy of the calculated model and numerical methods are taken into account in the response surface method (RSM).
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel concept for the reliability evaluation of large systems
TL;DR: In this article, a general purpose reliability analysis method to estimate low probability of failure events for large complicated real nonlinear structures excited by dynamic loadings including seismic loading applied in time domain is presented.
Amount of Uncertainty in the Methods Utilized to Design Drilled Shaft Foundations
TL;DR: In this paper, a load and resistance factor (LRFD) design for deep foundations in the US states of Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana/Mississippi, and Missouri is described.
Dissertation
Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Walls Designed for Ductility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Table of Table of Tables of Table 1.1.1 and Table 2.2.1 of the table of Table 3.3.
