Engineering 101Linking Experiments to Models through the
Bridge Design Exercise
2
What are Experiments?
n Tests to determine the relationship between (input) variables and (output) responses
n Example 1: What is the effect of dowel diameter on the weight of the bridge?– Model: The entire bridge system– Input Variable: Dowel diameter– Output Response: Weight of the bridge
n Example 2: What is the effect of dowel diameter on the maximum deflection of the bridge deck?– Model: The entire bridge system– Input Variable: Dowel diameter– Output Response: Deflection of the bridge deck at various locations

What are Models?
n Relationship between (input) variables and (output) responses– Simple equation– Model described by one or more complex equation(s) – differential
equation(s), integral equation(s), …n Example 1: What is the effect of dowel diameter on the weight of
the bridge?
n Example 2: What is the effect of dowel diameter on the maximum deflection of the bridge deck?– Needs a model whose solution can be described by several linear,
algebraic equations

What is a System?
n Dictionary definitions– a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular– a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an
organized scheme or methodn Traits of a system
– has structure, its parts or components are directly or indirectly interact with each other
– has behavior (where input and output are linked)

Questions
n Q1: Draw a diagram that shows the components of the bridge system, establishes the boundary and identifies the surroundings.
n Q2: Describe the bridge system with particular attention to (a) its functionalities, (b) how the different components interact with each other and (c) how the bridge system behaves.

Verification and Validation
n Models need to be validated and verified before they can be used with any confidence
n Verification: Are you building it right?– Is the theory/principle embodied in the model implemented correctly?

Case Study: Modulus of Elasticity
n What is modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus (E)?– In a one-dimensional state of stress it is constant of proportionality
between the normal stress and the normal strain and has the units of stress.

Case Study: Moment of Inertia
n What is moment of inertia, I?– The second moment of area (or, moment of inertia) is a measure of a
beam’s cross-sectional shape’s resistance to bending.

Probability Density Function*
*Excel terminology: Probability Mass Function
68-95-99.7 rule: 1, 2, 3 standard deviations from mean
Function whose graph is a continuous curve over a range of values that x can take. It has the units of probability rate (not probability). x is called random variable.
Area under curve between x1 and x2 gives the probability that x lies in the interval x1 and x2.
