Uncertainty Quantification and Decision Making in Hierarchical Development of Computational Models Urbina, Angel (2009-07-27)Department: Civil EngineeringAs engineering systems grow in size and complexity, it is becoming increasingly difficult to assess their performance through full scale testing. Modeling and simulation fill the gap left by the lack of full scale testing ...
