  2. 1. Probabilistic Analysis and Reliability of Engineering Structures

    Author : Anders Olsson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik; roof truss; racking system; importance sampling; Latin hypercube sampling; reliability;

    Abstract : This thesis, consisting of six papers, concerns methods for probabilistic analysis of engineering structures. The work comprises evaluations of available methods, developments of new and improved methods, and applications of probabilistic analysis to engineering structures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Estimating Probability Distribution by doing Computer Experiments

    Author : Gunnar Kjell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; seismic verification; response spectrum prediction; stratified sampling; latin hypercube sampling; variance reduction; variance estimation; seismic verification;

    Abstract : In almost every field of engineering, advanced computer programs are used. In many cases only the probability distributions of the input variables to the programs are known. Sometimes stochastic processes are used as input, for example if the stresses in a construction due to an earthquake are to be calculated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis Applied to the Validation of BWR Bundle Thermal-Hydraulic Calculations

    Author : Augusto Hernandéz Solís; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Latin Hypercube sampling; uncertainty and sensitivity analysis; Thermal‐hydraulic codes; simple random sampling; reactor safety analysis; BFBT benchmark;

    Abstract : In recent years, more realistic safety analyses of nuclear reactors have been based on best estimate (BE) computercodes. The need to validate and refine BE codes that are used in the predictions of relevant reactor safetyparameters, led to the organization of international benchmarks based on high quality experimental data.

  7. 5. Vehicle wakes subject to side wind conditions

    Author : Magnus Urquhart; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; drag; surrogate model; cavity; Latin Hypercube Sampling; wake; aerodynamics; real world conditions; Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; wind averaged drag; Radial Basis Functions; side wind; optimization; tapered extensions; cycle averaged;

    Abstract : Passenger vehicles are associated with travel flexibility, today it is clear that this flexibility impacts the environment. Passenger vehicles account for more than one-tenth of all greenhouse gasses in Europe with approximately a quarter of the vehicle's energy consumption wasted as aerodynamic drag. READ MORE
