Verification and validation of nonlinear models in civil engineering

Verification; verification

Determination of the acceptability of errors in the numerical transposition of continuum mechanics models.

Validation; validation

Demonstrate the acceptability of the uncertainties inherent in the model chosen to describe the reality of a phenomenon.

Validation domain; domaine de validation

Domain in which the validity of the model in question has been demonstrated.

Domaine de validité; validatity domain

Area in which we have elements to justify the transposability of the model.

Intended use domaine

The area in which the model is to be applied.

V&V ; verification and validation

Verification and validation process.

VV&UQ ; verification, validation and uncertainty quantification

Processes for verifying, validating and quantifying uncertainties.

FEMU; finite element model...
