New paper published in Engineering Structures
P.-R. Wagner and B. Sudret in collaboration with the Chair of Timber Structures published a paper on surrogate model accelerated calibration and sensitivity analysis of heat transfer models used in structural fire design.
This paper is the result of a collaboration with the chair of Timber structures (R. Fahrni, M. Klippel and A. Frangi). It shows how surrogate models can be used to obtain an efficient model calibration strategy in the setting of structural fire design and conduct a time-dependent sensitivity analysis of heat transfer models.
The work uses state-of-the-art surrogate modeling techniques (polynomial chaos expansions with principal component analysis) that are expected to bring considerable efficiency gains to practitioners.
