This paper presents a methodology for reducing the uncertainty related to the structural behaviour of an existing building in view of a vulnerability assessment regarding future earthquake actions. Estimating the lateral load resistance is a step towards e ...
Considering the uncertainty of economic conditions, multi-objective optimisation can be favoured to single-objective optimisation for process design. However, from the Pareto sets generated by multi- objective optimisation it is not obvious to identify the ...
Continuous requirements for more efficient aircrafts lead to the design and analysis of novel propulsion configurations, with an example being the boundary layer ingestion. The complexity and integration challenges in such aircraft synergistic propulsion s ...
Even though computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) has been used to simulate airflow in cities, accurate results are not always obtained because of difficulties related to defining the correct set of values of parameters, including boundary conditions. This pa ...
At the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), a methodology titled PSI-NUSS is under development for the propagation of nuclear data uncertainties into Criticality Safety Evaluation (CSE) with the Monte Carlo code MCNPX. The primary purpose is to provide a complem ...
Wind behavior in urban areas is receiving increasing interest from city planners and architects. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are often employed to assess wind behavior around buildings. However, the accuracy of CFD simulations is often u ...
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effort to design algorithms that are applicable in the presence of uncertainty in ...
Nuclear data uncertainty propagation based on stochastic sampling ( SS) is becoming more attractive while leveraging modern computer power. Two variants of the SS approach are compared in this paper. The Total Monte Carlo (TMC) method by the Nuclear Resear ...
Background: Alcohol is a major risk factor for burden of disease and injuries globally. This paper presents a systematic method to compute the 95% confidence intervals of alcohol-attributable fractions (AAFs) with exposure and risk relations stemming from ...
Knowledge of a machine tool axis to axis geometric location errors allows compensation and corrective actions to be taken to enhance its volumetric accuracy. Several procedures exist, involving either lengthy individual test for each geometric error or fas ...
