Presented by Gavin Jones, Sr. Application Engineer
Gavin Jones, Sr. SmartUQ Application Engineer, is responsible for performing simulation and statistical work for clients in aerospace, defense, automotive, gas turbine, and other industries. He is also a key contributor in SmartUQ’s Digital Twin/Digital Thread initiative. Mr. Jones received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Astronautics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The use of simulations to displace physical tests has become essential in accelerating product development and reducing costs. However, simulation results may be substantially different from what is observed. This could lead to premature product failure, costly warranty payments and a redesign campaign. Statistical calibration is an analytical method for narrowing the gap between simulation and test results.

Using the same workflow as suggested in the ASME V&V 10 and V&V 40 documentation, Uncertainty Quantification methods, such as statistical calibration and uncertainty propagation, will be applied to a practical, end-to-end case study in which the performance of a balloon expandable coronary stent model is analyzed with respect to geometric and material property variation. The model’s credibility will also be assessed using a set of mock physical test results.

This 30-minute webinar will cover:

  • Creating and using a Design of Experiments to select the best simulations to run for training data acquisition
  • Performing statistical calibration using simulation data collected at the DOE prescribed points and mock physical data
  • Propagating uncertainty to assess the impact of variation in the calibrated and geometric parameters
