Book excerpt: A principal goal of the Air Force research program is to develop accurate, reliable and efficient computational models so that laboratory and flight tests may be decreased and/or the results of such tests may be more effective in reducing design and production costs of new Air Force systems. Key challenges in achieving this goal are the uncertainties that exist in computational models. These uncertainties may be a result of the limitations of the mathematical model in representing physical reality, the numerical uncertainties that arise in obtaining (computational) solitions to these models, and/or the uncertainties in the parameters that enter into such models. Examples of each of these uncertainties have been studied for nonlinear aeroelastic systems and the computational results compared with experiment. New highly computationally efficient methods have been developed.
