Bayesian uncertainty quantification and propagation for discrete element simulations of granular materials
(2014)Predictions in the behavior of granular materials using Discrete Element Methods (DEM) hinge on the employed interaction potentials. Here we introduce a data driven, Bayesian framework to quantify DEM predictions. Our ... -
Bifurcations and catastrophes of a two-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear model simulating the buckling and postbuckling of rectangular plates
(2007)The nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behavior of rectangular plates in symmetric and antisymmetric modes is re-examined, in the context of Bifurcation and Catastrophe Theories, using a two-degrees-of-freedom model, which ... -
The effect of infinitesimal damping on the dynamic instability mechanism of conservative systems
(2008)The local instability of 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) weakly damped systems is thoroughly discussed using the Lienard-Chipart stability criterion. The individual and coupling effect of mass and stiffness distribution on the ... -
