Also important is modeling of the variability in damping, along with the variability the mass and stiffness properties, from sample to sample if the variability of the dynamic response is to be accurately predicted. The present work is a part of the ongoing efforts in this direction. The objective of this paper is two-fold. The first is to study the variability of the damping factors of various modes of the test structure over its several samples. The second objective is to study the variability when the test structures are made up of different materials. An experimental study is conducted on beam samples of three different materials, Mild steel, Aluminum and Acrylic. Variability in frequency response functions (FRFs), modal data including variability of damping factors is quantified. The study offers some important insights into importance of modeling of damping uncertainty for making accurate structural dynamic predictions.","PeriodicalId":444608,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Sciences and Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132152794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blondeel, Pieterjan Robbe, Dirk Nuyens, G. Lombaert, S. Vandewalle","doi":"10.7712/120221.8032.18886","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7712/120221.8032.18886","url":null,"abstract":". The propagation of parameter uncertainty through engineering models is a key task in uncertainty quantification. In many cases, taking into account this uncertainty involves the estimation of expected values by means of the Monte Carlo method. While the performance of the classical Monte Carlo method is independent of the number of uncertainties, its main drawback is the slow convergence rate of the root mean square error, i.e., O ( N − 1 / 2 ) where N is the number of model evaluations. Under appropriate conditions, the quasi-Monte Carlo method improves the order of convergence to O ( N − 1 ) by using deterministic sample points instead of random sample points. Two examples of such point sets are rank-1 lattice sequences and Sobol’ sequences. However, it is possible to further improve the order of convergence by applying the so-called “tent transformation” to a rank-1 lattice sequence, and by “interlacing” a Sobol’ sequence. In this work, we benchmark these two techniques on a slope stability problem from geotechnical engineering, where the uncertainty is located in the cohesion of the soil. The soil cohesion is modeled as a lognormal random field of which realizations are computed by means of the Karhunen–Lo`eve (KL) expansion. The quasi-Monte Carlo points are mapped to the normal distribution required in the KL expansion using a novel truncation strategy. We observe an order of convergence of O ( N − 1 . 5 ) in our numerical experiments.","PeriodicalId":444608,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Sciences and Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134534662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vořechovský","doi":"10.7712/120221.8035.18924","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7712/120221.8035.18924","url":null,"abstract":". The paper presents an analytical model for prediction of the peak force in concrete specimens loaded in bending (both notched and unnotched). The model is capable of predicting peak force statistics by computing the extreme values of sliding averages of random strength fields. The local strength of the specimen is modeled by a stationary isotropic random field with Gaussian distribution and a given autocorrelation function. The averaging operation represents the progressive loss in material integrity and the associated stress redistribution that takes place prior to reaching the peak load. Once the (linear) averaging process is performed analytically, the resulting random field of averaged strength is assumed to represent a series of representative volume elements (RVEs) and the global strength is found by solving for the minimum of such an effective strength field. All these operations can be written analytically and there are only four model parameters: the three dimensions of the averaging volume (RVE) and the length of the final weakest-link chain. The model is verified using detailed numerical computations of notched and unnotched concrete beams simulated by mesoscale discrete simulations of concrete fracture performed with probabilistic distributions of model parameters. The numerical model used for verification represents material randomness both by assigning random locations to the largest aggregates and by simulating random fluctuations of material parameters via a homogeneous random field.","PeriodicalId":444608,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Sciences and Engineering","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131632582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
