Sensitivity analysis of complex engineering systems: Approaches study and their application to vehicle restraint system crash simulation

Restricted by high calculation cost of single engineering model run and large number of model runs for sampling-based Sensitivity Analysis (SA), qualitative SA are used for parameter study of the Vehicle Restraint System (VRS) and quantitative SA of such models has always been a challenge. Sequential approaches are proposed for SA of complex systems and the SA of a VRS is realized: sampling-based SA methods are discussed; SA of a simple three...
