Interval methods for the identification and quantification of inhomogeneous uncertainty in Finite Element models KU Leuven
Numerical methods, such as the finite element method, have become an indispensable tool in the toolbox of a modern design engineer. Since these methods allow for predicting the mechanical, thermal or aerodynamic behaviour of a structural component, long before a first prototype has been produced, an immense reduction of lead-time is possible. However, it is impossible to determine all numerical model parameters deterministically, as the true ...
