Climate variability from annual to multi-decadal timescales in a two-layer stochastic energy balance model: analytic solutions and implications for general circulation models

open access: yesTellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2019
A low-order stochastically forced two-layer global energy balance model (EBM) admitting an analytical solution is developed for studying natural inter-annual, decadal and multi-decadal climate variability, and ultimately to better understand forced ...

Sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification of stiffness modulus using indirect tensile test

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering
The stiffness modulus is a critical element in pavement engineering, as its accurate measurement directly reflects the load-bearing capacity of the pavement section.

Development and Application of a Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis Framework for Safety Analysis of Molten Salt Reactors

open access: yesEnergies
To provide reliable safety margins in reactor design and safety analysis, the best estimate plus uncertainty (BEPU) analysis, which is recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has drawn increasing attention worldwide.

Assessing the Sensitivity of Snow Depth Simulations to Land Surface Parameterizations within Noah-MP in Northern Xinjiang, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Snow cover plays a crucial role in the surface energy balance and hydrology and serves as a key indicator of climate change. In this study, we conducted an ensemble simulation comprising 48 members generated by randomly combining the parameterizations of

Global Sensitivity Analysis of Large Reaction Mechanisms Using Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, 2018
Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) of large chemical reaction mechanisms remains a challenge since the model with uncertainties in the large number of input parameters provides large dimension of input parameter space and tends to be difficult to evaluate

Optimization of structures subjected to dynamic load: deterministic and probabilistic methods

open access: yesREM: International Engineering Journal
This paper deals with the deterministic and probabilistic optimization of structures against bending when submitted to dynamic loads. The deterministic optimization problem considers the plate submitted to a time varying load while the probabilistic one ...

Derivative-Variance Hybrid Global Sensitivity Measure with Optimal Sampling Method Selection

open access: yesMathematics
This paper proposes a derivative-variance hybrid global sensitivity measure with optimal sampling method selection. The proposed sensitivity measure is as computationally efficient as the derivative-based global sensitivity measure, which also serves as ...
