Bi-level Hybrid Uncertainty Quantification in Fatigue Analysis: S-N Curve Approach by Raphael Basilio Pires Nonato

“…Due to its physical complexity, fatigue phenomenon inherently presents a significant number of uncertain parameters to be predicted. In uncertainty quantification (UQ), research has demonstrated that even a small variation in uncertain input quantities (UIQs) may lead to a wide dispersion in the system response quantities (SRQs). …”
