    Numerical upscaling of parametric microstructures in a possibilistic uncertainty framework with tensor trains

    We develop a new fuzzy arithmetic framework for efficient possibilistic uncertainty quantification. The considered application is an edge detection task with the goal to identify interfaces of blurred images. In our case, these represent realisations of composite materials with possibly very many inclusions. The proposed algorithm can be seen as computational homogenisation and results in a parameter dependent representation of composite structures. For this, many samples for a linear elasticity problem have to be computed, which is significantly sped up by a highly accurate low-rank tensor surrogate. To ensure the continuity of the underlying effective material tensor map, an appropriate diffeomorphism is constructed to generate a family of meshes reflecting the possible material realisations. In the application, the uncertainty model is propagated through distance maps with respect to consecutive symmetry class tensors. Additionally, the efficacy of the best/worst estimate analysis of the homogenisation map as a bound to the average displacement for chessboard like matrix composites with arbitrary star-shaped inclusions is demonstrated.

    Local surrogate responses in the Schwarz alternating method for elastic problems on random voided domains
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Drieschner, Martin; Gruhlke, Robert; Petryna, Yuri; Eigel, Martin; Hömberg, Dietmar
    Imperfections and inaccuracies in real technical products often influence the mechanical behavior and the overall structural reliability. The prediction of real stress states and possibly resulting failure mechanisms is essential and a real challenge, e.g. in the design process. In this contribution, imperfections in elastic materials such as air voids in adhesive bonds between fiber-reinforced composites are investigated. They are modeled as arbitrarily shaped and positioned. The focus is on local displacement values as well as on associated stress concentrations caused by the imperfections. For this purpose, the resulting complex random one-scale finite element model is numerically solved by a new developed surrogate model using an overlapping domain decomposition scheme based on Schwarz alternating method. Here, the actual response of local subproblems associated with isolated material imperfections is determined by a single appropriate surrogate model, that allows for an accelerated propagation of randomness. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated for imperfections with elliptical and ellipsoidal shape in 2D and 3D and extended to arbitrarily shaped voids. For the latter one, a local surrogate model based on artificial neural networks (ANN) is constructed. Finally, a comparison to experimental results validates the numerical predictions for a real engineering problem.
