Bayesian Reconstruction of Goal Orientated Error Fields in Large Aerospace Finite Element Models (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bonney, M. S., Evans, R., Rouse, J., Jones, A., & Hamadi, M. (2020). Bayesian Reconstruction of Goal Orientated Error Fields in Large Aerospace Finite Element Models. In Proceedings of AerospaceEurope Conference 2020

A major difficulty in the mechanical simulation of large aerospace structures is the multi-scale nature of modern designs due to, at least in part, the increased use of composite materials. "Thin" materials are typically idealised by shell elements i... Read More about Bayesian Reconstruction of Goal Orientated Error Fields in Large Aerospace Finite Element Models.
