[精品]1 - Sensitivity Analysis-Prof. David Darmofal.pdfVIP

Sensitivity Analysis Often in engineering analysis, we are not only interested in predicting the performance of a vehicle, product, etc, but we are also concerned with the sensitivity of the predicted performance to changes in the design and/or errors in the analysis. The quantification of the sensitivity to these sources of variability is called sensitivity analysis. Let’s make this more concrete using an example. Suppose we are interested in predicting the take off distance of an aircraft. From Anderson’s, Intro. To Flight, an estimate for take-off distance
