Course contents :
|
| Verification and validation (V&V) of dynamic models are a key issue for the structural engineering. Verification amounts to solving the equations correctly (e.g., time step and finite element mesh), whereas validation guarantees that the correct equations are solved (e.g., influence of boundary conditions and nonlinearities). The objective of this course is to give a gentle introduction to these two important concepts and illustrate them using aerospace applications (ground vibration testing of aircrafts, satellites and launch vehicles) |
