    Numerical upscaling of parametric microstructures in a possibilistic uncertainty framework with tensor trains
    (Heidelberg : Springer, 2022) Eigel, Martin; Gruhlke, Robert; Moser, Dieter; Grasedyck, Lars
    A fuzzy arithmetic framework for the efficient possibilistic propagation of shape uncertainties based on a novel fuzzy edge detection method is introduced. The shape uncertainties stem from a blurred image that encodes the distribution of two phases in a composite material. The proposed framework employs computational homogenisation to upscale the shape uncertainty to a effective material with fuzzy material properties. For this, many samples of 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 mapping from shape parametrisation to the upscaled material behaviour, a diffeomorphism is constructed by generating an appropriate family of meshes via transformation of a reference mesh. The shape uncertainty is then propagated to measure the distance of the upscaled material to the isotropic and orthotropic material class. Finally, the fuzzy effective material is used to compute bounds for the average displacement of a non-homogenized material with uncertain star-shaped inclusion shapes.

    Low rank surrogates for polymorphic fields with application to fuzzy-stochastic partial differential equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Eigel, Martin; Grasedyck, Lars; Gruhlke, Robert; Moser, Dieter
    We consider a general form of fuzzy-stochastic PDEs depending on the interaction of probabilistic and non-probabilistic ("possibilistic") influences. Such a combined modelling of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties for instance can be applied beneficially in an engineering context for real-world applications, where probabilistic modelling and expert knowledge has to be accounted for. We examine existence and well-definedness of polymorphic PDEs in appropriate function spaces. The fuzzy-stochastic dependence is described in a high-dimensional parameter space, thus easily leading to an exponential complexity in practical computations. To aleviate this severe obstacle in practise, a compressed low-rank approximation of the problem formulation and the solution is derived. This is based on the Hierarchical Tucker format which is constructed with solution samples by a non-intrusive tensor reconstruction algorithm. The performance of the proposed model order reduction approach is demonstrated with two examples. One of these is the ubiquitous groundwater flow model with Karhunen-Loeve coefficient field which is generalized by a fuzzy correlation length.
