A Framework for Test to Test Averaging and Representation of Asynchronous Spatial Measurements
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Many experimental programs utilize traversing probes to measure spatial profiles of a variable. These measurements are taken asynchronously because the probe measures one location at a time. During an experiment of this ... -
Computationally Efficient Variational Approximations for Bayesian Inverse Problems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The major drawback of the Bayesian approach to model calibration is the computational burden involved in describing the posterior distribution of the unknown model parameters arising from the fact that typical Markov chain ... -
Teaching a Verification and Validation Course Using Simulations and Experiments With Paper Helicopters
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)In teaching a course on verification and validation (V&V) in scientific simulations, it is desirable for students to carry out repeated experiments on devices/systems that they can build and that can be easily repeated. ... -
Quantifying Variability in Lumbar L4 L5 Soft Tissue Properties for Use in Finite Element Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Soft tissue structures of the L4L5 level of the human lumbar spine are represented in finiteelement (FE) models, which are used to evaluate spine biomechanics and implant performance. These models typically use average ... -
Global Optimization Under Uncertainty and Uncertainty Quantification Applied to Tractor Trailer Base Flaps
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Using a global optimization evolutionary algorithm (EA), propagating aleatory and epistemic uncertainty within the optimization loop, and using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this study determines a design for a 3D ... -
The Sedov Blast Wave as a Radial Piston Verification Test
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The Sedov blast wave is of great utility as a verification problem for hydrodynamic methods. The typical implementation uses an energized cell of finite dimensions to represent the energy point source. This approximation ... -
Experimental Validation Benchmark Data for Computational Fluid Dynamics of Mixed Convection on a Vertical Flat Plate
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Model validation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), where experimental data and model outputs are compared, is a key tool for assessing model uncertainty. In this work, mixed convection was studied experimentally for ...
