Overview of Predictive Methodsin Engineering
There are five key steps:
Physics (mechanics) model building
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ)
Uncertainty Propagation (UP)
Model Verification & Validation (V & V)
Prediction
Tools are available for each of these steps. Focus ofthis talk is mainly on UQ in linear dynamicalsystems.

Why uncertainty?
Different sources of uncertainties in the modeling andsimulation of dynamic systems may be attributed, but notlimited, to the following factors:
Mathematical models: equations (linear, non-linear),geometry, damping model (viscous, non-viscous,fractional derivative), boundary conditions/initialconditions, input forces;
Model parameters: Young’s modulus, mass density,Poisson’s ratio, damping model parameters (dampingcoefficient, relaxation modulus, fractional derivativeorder)

Why uncertainty?
Numerical algorithms: weak formulations, discretisationof displacement fields (in finite element method),discretisation of stochastic fields (in stochastic finiteelement method), approximate solution algorithms,truncation and roundoff errors, tolerances in theoptimization and iterative methods, artificial intelligent(AI) method (choice of neural networks)
Measurements: noise, resolution (number of sensors andactuators), experimental hardware, excitation method(nature of shakers and hammers), excitation andmeasurement point, data processing (amplification,number of data points, FFT), calibration

Structural dynamics
The equation of motion:
Mx(t) + Cx(t) + Kx(t) = p(t)
Due to the presence of uncertainty M, C and Kbecome random matrices.
The main objectives in the ‘forward problem’are:
to quantify uncertainties in the systemmatricesto predict the variability in the responsevector x

Current Methods
Two different approaches are currently available
Low frequency : Stochastic Finite ElementMethod (SFEM) - assumes that stochasticfields describing parametric uncertainties areknown in details
High frequency : Statistical Energy Analysis(SEA) - do not consider parametricuncertainties in details

Conclusions
Experimental results involving stochastic dynamicalsystems is required for the uncertainty quantification andvalidation of numerical models of complex systems.
Two experimental studies are described which may beused for this purpose.
The fixed-fixed beam is easy to model and the results ofa 100 sample experiment with randomly placed masseswere described in this paper.
The cantilever plate is ‘perturbed’ by 10 randomly placedoscillators. Again, a 100-sample test is conducted andthe results are described.

Conclusions
Special care has been taken so that the uncertainty in theresponse only arises from the randomness in the masslocations.
Statistics of the frequency response function measured atthree points of the beam were obtained for low, mediumand high frequency ranges.
It is expected that this data can be used for modelvalidation and uncertainty quantification of dynamicalsystems. Data presented here will be available in thewww.

Open Issues
How one may validate/update a stochastic dynamicalmodel when experimental data of stochastic nature (suchas described here) is available?
What can be done about the limited sample size (oftenonly one!) in experimental results?
