A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SINGLE-CHAIN AND MULTI-CHAIN MCMC ALGORITHMS FOR BAYESIAN MODEL UPDATING-BASED STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DETECTION

A Comparative Study of Single-Chain and Multi-Chain MCMC Algorithms for Bayesian Model Updating-Based Structural Damage Detection

Bayesian model updating has received considerable attention and has been extensively used in structural damage detection.It provides a rigorous statistical framework for realizing structural system identification and characterizing uncertainties associated with modeling and measurements.The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a promising tool for in

Comparison of Standard Light Water Reactor Cross-Section Libraries using the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Boiling Water Reactor Benchmark Problem

This paper describes a comparison of contemporary and historical light water reactor shielding and pressure vessel dosimetry cross-section libraries for a boiling water reactor calculational benchmark problem.The calculational benchmark problem icon track bar f250 was developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory by the request of the U.S.Nuclear Reg
