Luis Chase (EDT) Uncertainty Quantification: Advances in Research and Applications

Annotation

In recent times, polynomial chaos expansion has emerged as a dominant technique to determine the response uncertainties of a system by propagating the uncertainties of the inputs. In this regard, the opening chapter of Uncertainty Quantification: Advances in Research and Applications, an intrusive approach called Galerkin Projection as well as non-intrusive approaches (such as pseudo-spectral projection and linear regression) are discussed. Next, the authors introduce a new methodology to determine the uncertainties of input parameters using CIRCE software to overcome the reliance on expert judgment. The goal is to determinate and evaluate the uncertainty bounds for physical models related to reflood model of MARS-KS code Vessel module (coupled with COBRA-TF) using both CIRCE and the experimental data of FEBA. Lastly, uncertainties related to rheological model parameters of skeletal muscles are modeled and analyzed, and available data are acquired and fused for hyperelastic constitutive model parameters with Neo-Hookean and Mooney-Rivlin formulations.
