One of the problems that affects hydroinstallations and reduces the useful life of dams is sedimentation in the reservoir. In estimating reservoir sedimentation and accumulation, a number of ...

In Monte Carlo simulation, Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) (McKay et al (1979)) is a well-known variance reduction technique for vectors of independent random variables. The method presented here, ...

Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a popular method for evaluating the expectation of functions in computer experiments. However when the expectation of interest is taken with respect to a nonuniform ...

As modern structures require more critical and complex designs, the need for accurate approaches to assess uncertainties in loads, geometry, material properties, manufacturing processes and ...
