Alternative metrics for design decisions based on separating aleatory and epistemic probabilistic uncertainties
(2022)There is still much philosophical debate about whether a frequentist or subjective view of probability should be adopted. Some uncertainties (typically aleatory uncertainties) are naturally modelled using a frequentist ... -
Dynamics of money and income distributions
(2005)We study the model of interacting agents proposed by Chatterjee et al that allows agents to both save and exchange wealth. Closed equations for the wealth distribution are developed using a mean field approximation. We ... -
On the calculation of offshore wind turbine load spectra for fatigue design
(2018)The present work researches on the definition of the load spectra used for offshore wind turbine low SN slope materials’ fatigue design. Uncertainty in the sample sized used to scale fatigue life is analyzed for the tower ... -
On the suitability of the Generalised Pareto to model extreme waves
(2018)Dealing with extreme events implies working with events that have low probability of occurrence. To characterize these, the peak-over-threshold method alongside the generalized Pareto distribution is commonly applied. ... -
Probability theory and the Fagel collection at Trinity College Dublin - Newstalk 'Talking History' 05.09.10
(2010-09-05)Charles Larkin and Jacco Thijessen discuss probability theory and Trinity College Library's Fagel Collection -
Surrogate infill criteria for operational fatigue reliability analysis
(2018)Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) fatigue damage is an intense, resource demanding task. While the current methodologies to design OWT to fatigue are quite limited in the way and amount of uncertainty they can ...
