This paper deals with lack-of-knowledge uncertainty in complex non-linear simulations on a
component level, ie, a crashbox during frontal impact of a vehicle. Specifically, the focus lies …

Strictly speaking, there is no way to have certainty of the outcomes or the value of decisions
made early in a project. However, early decisions set the path to cost and schedule …

In systems engineering, complexity can be reduced by a decomposition of the design
process. This includes the decoupling of design decisions for which this thesis presents a …

This paper considers three different modes of design work that is distributed over several
design parties: independent design (in parallel, no design interactions, sub-system …

This paper presents a novel methodology to solve an inverse uncertainty quantification
problem where only the variation of the system response is provided by a small set of …

This paper presents an interval field approach to represent the complex interactions
between adjacent components in car crash simulations. Typically, the design and …
