Summary
The problem of estimating reduced complexity metamodels for the accurate representation of computationally costly numerical models with uncertain input parameters is addressed in this paper. The introduced metamodelling method is based on the discrete wavelet transform of the dynamic response signals. The coefficients of this transform are defined as random parameters in order to be able to describe the uncertainty propagation. These random coefficients are expanded onto a polynomial chaos functional subspace and thus the resulting representation is fully described through a number of deterministic projection coefficients. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through its application to the metamodelling of a five-storey two-bay frame model paradigm. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology for accurate simulation of the finite element model dynamics. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
