An application of the Kriging method in global sensitivity analysis with parameter uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
For structural systems with both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties, the effect of epistemic uncertainty on failure probability is measured by the variance based sensitivity analysis, which generally needs a ‘‘triple-loop’’ crude sampling procedure to solve and is time consuming. Thus, the Kriging method is employed to avoid the complex sampling procedure and improve the computational efficiency. By utilizing the Kriging predictor model, the conditional expectation of failure probability on the given epistemic uncertainty can be calculated efficiently. Compared with the Sobol’s method, the proposed one can ensure reasonable accuracy of results but with lower computational cost. Three examples are employed to demonstrate the reasonability and efficiency of the proposed method. 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Nowadays, kriging has been accepted as the most common method of grade estimation in mineral resource evaluation stage. Access to the crisp assay data and a variogram model are the necessary means for the utilization of this method. Since fitting a crisp variogram model is generally difficult, if not impossible, the fitted theoretical model is usually tainted with uncertainty due to various rea...
متن کاملA novel methodology to manage uncertainty for multidisciplinary design and optimization in conceptual design
Uncertainty in design and simulation affects the quality of product directly during the process of MDO, which should be considered to help designers to make the design decisions, especially at conceptual design stage. In traditional approaches, this uncertainty is ignored in the hope that it is not significant to the decision making. In this investigation, firstly, three main uncertainties in M...
