<p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">TIME: 3:30 PM</font></p>
<p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">LOCATION: GMCS 214</font></p>
<p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">SPEAKER: Dr. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:21px">Diane Villanueva. Research Engineer, Universal Technology Corporation</span></font></p><p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><span style="line-height:21px">The design of hyper-sonic air vehicles involves a complex interaction of physics, which at this point is not yet well understood. Unlike in traditional aircraft design, the cost of prototype building and testing for hyper-sonic vehicles is unacceptably large, so there is a greater dependency on computational models. However, the prohibitive computational cost of high-fidelity, coupled, aerothermoelastic simulation and the inability to fully duplicate these combined flight loads through ground tests poses a significant challenge for assuring the needed confidence in model predictions. This talk will cover some of the key motivations and features of a robust uncertainty quantification framework, including Bayesian model calibration and optimal experimental design for these experiments. Additionally, it covers a methodology to trade-off structural mass and the effect of future tests and redesign in reliability based design optimization once such a framework is in place.</span></font><br>
