Lombardo et al. (Loughborough & CTU) Microstructurally-Informed Random Fields ISUME 211, Prague 6 / 16

9 Statistics of structural response Improved perturbation technique ELISHAKOFF ET AL., 1995 Elasticity problem on Ω with stochastic material data C(x, θ) = χ s (x, θ)c (s) + (1 χ s (x, θ))c (m) Discretization of Ω by N e elements (2h correlation length) Midpoint discretization of random field: χ h s (θ) = [ χ h s,1 (θ), χh s,2 (θ)..., χh s,n e (θ) ] T {, 1} N e Discretized FEM equations: K(χ h s (θ))u h (θ) = F Elementary statistics of displacements A E[u h ] = F where N e N e A = K K i (K ) 1 K j E[χ s,i χ s,j ] i=1 j=1 M.

Lombardo et al. (Loughborough & CTU) Microstructurally-Informed Random Fields ISUME 211, Prague 8 / 16

Lombardo et al. (Loughborough & CTU) Microstructurally-Informed Random Fields ISUME 211, Prague 11 / 16

14 Statistics of structural response Hashin-Shtrikman approach: Polarization problem Polarization stress: τ h (x, θ) = N h (x) ( χ 1 (x, θ)d h 1 + χ 2(x, θ)d h ) 2 Discretized version of H-S variational principles K h i d h i + j K h ijd h j = R h i K h i = K h ij = R h i = Statistics of the solution: E[u h (x)] = u h (x) Ω Ω Ω γ i (x)n ht (x) [C i C ] 1 N h (x) dx N ht (x) S (2) ij (x y)γ h (x, y)nh (y) dx dy Ω γ i (x)n ht (x)ε h (x) dx Ω G h (x, y)nh (y) ( γ 1 d h 1 + γ 2d h 2) dy M.

16 Numerical example H-S [C = γ s C (s) + γ m C (m) ] cements E[uy] [m] H-S [2C = C (s) + C (m) ] K-L -.18 H-S [C = min(c (s),c (m) )] Improved perturbation Relative position along the top edge M. Lombardo et al. (Loughborough & CTU) Microstructurally-Informed Random Fields ISUME 211, Prague 14 / 16

18 Conclusions Spatial correlation of a random field can be directly obtained from samples of microstructure Improved perturbation method seems to fully utilize second-order data, but it inconsistent with the H-S bounds Karhunen-Loeve expansion needs a large number of terms for realistic structures Results of Hashin-Shtrikman method strongly depend on the choice of reference media Need for a rational construction of non-gaussian fields with prescribed correlation structure Additional info available at M.
