Survey of Existing Uncertainty Quantification Capabilities for Army Relevant Problems

Abstract

This report surveys the current state of the art in uncertainty quantification. It provides a brief overview of uncertainty quantification methods, a survey of currently available software implementations of these methods, and a discussion of how these implementations may be integrated into a workflow on a high-performance computing cluster. Finally, it provides an example of how existing uncertainty quantification capabilities may be applied to an example problem of Army interest, namely simulation of the dynamic penetration of armor.
