... models. To address the limitation, this paper proposes a novel hyperbolic contact surface Winkler model. First, a new fundamental formula incorporating a modified variable exponent is presented. Based on the surrogate modeling method, an optimized surrogate function for the variable coefficient...

...Kyle Neal; Zhen Hu; Sankaran Mahadevan; Jon Zumberge This paper presents a probabilistic framework for discrepancy prediction in dynamical system models under untested input time histories, based on information gained from validation experiments. Two surrogate modeling-based methods, namely...
