Event details
The extensive use of FRP composite materials in a wide range of industries, and their inherent variability, has prompted many researchers to assess their performance from a probabilistic perspective.
A wide range of stochastic analysis methods have been developed to account for this inherent uncertainty at different scales. The choice of micro-/meso-/macro- scale modelling depends on the analysis of interest and each class has advantages/limitations. It is often advantageous to fuse the different modelling levels in a multi-scale approach, either within a deterministic or, most importantly, within a stochastic framework. This presentation gives an overview of these aspects with special reference to the spatial variability considerations at macro-scale.
