...Sigrid Leyendecker; Leonard J. Lucas; Houman Owhadi; Michael Ortiz We present an optimal control methodology, which we refer to as concentration-of-measure optimal control (COMOC), that seeks to minimize a concentration-of-measure upper bound on the probability of failure of a system. The systems...

... and drawbacks are critically reviewed. Furthermore, probabilistic sensitivity analyses are presented, which can be used to quantify the importance of the random variables on the response of the vehicle system. The influence of the parameters of the probability density functions is investigated by means...

...E. Mo; A. Naess The probability density function (PDF) of the solution process of a nonlinear stochastic differential equation (SDE) is found in this paper using the path integration technique. The SDE is a piecewise linear system representing a model of an imperfectly mounted spur gear pair...
