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)

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?

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.
