Reliability represents safety level in industry practice and may variant due to time-variant
operation condition and components deterioration throughout a product life-cycle. Thus, the …

Mathematical modeling and advances in computation allow exploring multiple scenarios
and studying the reliability and safety of transportation systems. Although track geometry …

The existing stock of buildings is a major contributor to energy-related carbon emissions.
Significant savings in building energy consumption can be derived through retrofit. Building …

The building sector contributes a major proportion of the global energy consumptions and
carbon emissions. The energy performance or efficiency of buildings can be improved …

Apart from parametric uncertainty, model form uncertainty as well as prediction error may be
involved in the analysis of engineering system. Model form uncertainty, inherently existing in …

Simulators often require calibration inputs estimated from real-world data, and the estimate
can significantly affect simulation output. Particularly when performing simulation …

Buildings contribute a large proportion of energy-related emissions. In order to characterize
the buildings' energy performance, building energy models have been widely used due to …

We investigate a computer model calibration technique inspired by the well-known Bayesian
framework of Kennedy and O'Hagan (KOH). We tackle the full Bayesian formulation where …

To facilitate continuous development of the wind power industry, maintaining technological
innovation and reducing cost per kilowatt hour of the electricity generated by the wind …

Model calibration and validation are important processes in the development of stochastic
computer models of real complex systems. This article introduces an integrated approach for …
