Propagating parameter uncertainty in dynamic modeling of a mechanical system using a perturbation method: a case study on pole vaulting
摘要
This research concentrates on examining the dynamic responses of a system modeling the pole vault as mass–elastica, characterized by uncertain parameters. A first-order perturbation method (PM) is introduced and compared to the second-order PM and the reference Monte Carlo method. The results demonstrate an improvement in computational efficiency and accuracy under moderate uncertainties. This study highlights the impact of key parameters, such as the nondimensional velocity (
