Dynamic modeling of physical phenomena for probabilistic risk assessments using artificial neural networks

Benjamin, A.S.; Paez, T.L.; Brown, N.N. - 2010

In most probabilistic risk assessments, there is a subset of accident scenarios that involves physical challenges to the system, such as high heat rates and/or accelerations. The system`s responses to these challenges may be complicated, and their prediction may require the use of long-running...

Statistical validation of system models

Barney, P.; Ferregut, C.; Perez, L.E.; Hunter, N.F.; … - 2009

It is common practice in system analysis to develop mathematical models for system behavior. Frequently, the actual system being modeled is also available for testing and observation, and sometimes the test data are used to help identify the parameters of the mathematical model. However, no...
