Uncertainty quantification in mechanics: A unified Bayesian perspective
Sascha Ranftl, Malte Rolf, Gerhard A. Holzapfel, Ellen Kuhl
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential to experimental mechanics, but has become particularly relevant in computational mechanics, manifesting in two fundamental problem types: forward and inverse problems. The former addresses how input uncertainties propagate to the quant…
