1 A Brief Overview of the NEESgrid Simulation Platform OpenSees: Application to the Soil Foundation Structure Interaction Problems Boris Jeremić Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Davis Third UJNR Workshop on Soil-Structure Interaction March 9-3, 4, Vallombrosa Center, Menlo Park, California Supported in part by the NSF, PEER, Caltrans, and Cal EPA. Collaborators: Professors Zhaohui Yang (UAA), Sashi Kunnath (UCD), Gregory Fenves (UCB), Jacobo Bielak (CMU), Drs. Francis McKenna (UCB), and research students Xiaoyan Wu (UW) Ritu Jain (UCD), Jinxiu Liao (UCD). Jeremić, 3rd UJNR Workshop 1

2 Leitmotiv Create high fidelity models of constructed facilities (bridges, buildings, port structures, dams...). Models will live concurrently with the physical system they represent. Models to provide owners and operators with the capabilities to assess operations and future performance. Use observed performance to update and validate models through simulations. Jeremić, 3rd UJNR Workshop

3 Presentation Overview The NEES MiniGrand Challenge Project Validation experiments Simulation challenge OpenSees NEESgrid simulation platform Template Elasto Plasticity Full Coupling of Solid and Fluid Seismic Motions (FEM input) Distributed Memory Parallel Computing General Large Deformations Jeremić, 3rd UJNR Workshop 3

4 Validation Experiments A validation experiment should be jointly designed and executed by experimentalist and computationalist Need for close working relationship from inception to documentation Elimination of typical competition between each Complete honesty concerning strengths and weaknesses of both experimental and computational simulations A validation Experiment should be designed to capture the relevant physics Measure all important modeling data in the experiment Characteristics and imperfections of the experimental facility should be included in the model Jeremić, 3rd UJNR Workshop 4

5 Application Domain System complexity Application Domain Validation Domain Inference System Parameter Inference Based on physics or statistics Validation domain non convex aggregation of physical tests Physical experiments (NEES) provide for non overlapping validation domain Jeremić, 3rd UJNR Workshop 5
