Introduction

Predictive CapabilitiesI Verification provides evidence that the model is solved

correctly. Mathematics issue.

I Validation provides evidence that the correct model issolved. Physics issue.

I Prediction under Uncertainty (!): use of computationalmodel to foretell the state of a physical system underconsideration under conditions for which the computationalmodel has not been validated.

I Modeling and Parametric Uncertainties

I Predictive capabilities with low Kolmogorov Complexity

I Modeling and simulation goal is to inform, not fit

Uncertainties

Modeling Uncertainty

I Simplified modeling: Features (important ?) are neglected(6D ground motions, inelasticity)

I Modeling Uncertainty: unrealistic and unnecessarymodeling simplifications

I Modeling simplifications are justifiable if one or two levelhigher sophistication model shows that features beingsimplified out are not important

Uncertainties in material and load are analytically taken intoaccount. Resulting displacements, stress and strain areobtained as very accurate (second order accurate for stress)Probability Density Functions. PEP and SEPFEM are notbased on a Monte Carlo method, rather they expand uncertaininput variables and uncertain degrees of freedom (unknowns)into spectral probabilistic spaces and solve for PDFs ofresulting displacement, stress and strain in a single run.
