A Comparison of Sampling Techniques for Uncertainty Quantification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uncertainty quantification in numerical simulations generally relies on applying sampling techniques to select input parameters for a suite of deterministic calculations and then combining the results of the calculations into output distributions. Several approaches, including metamodeling and Latin Hypercube Sampling, are prevalent today. This paper will focus on the comparison of several common sampling techniques as applied to the validation of a transient dynamics finite element calculation on a spherical marine float drop test.

Non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and stochastic collocation (SC) methods are attractive techniques for uncertainty quantification (UQ) due to their strong mathematical basis and ability to produce functional representations of stochastic variability. PCE estimates coefficients for known orthogonal polynomial basis functions based on a set of response function evaluations, using sa...
