Abstract :
[en] When considering a homogenization-based multiscale approach, at each integration-point of the macro-structure, the material properties are obtained from the resolution of a micro-scale boundary value problem. At the micro-level, the macro-point is viewed as the center of a Representative Volume Element (RVE). However, to be representative, the micro-volume-element should have a size much bigger than the micro-structure size. For composite materials which suffer from a large property and geometrical dispersion, either this requires RVE of sizes which cannot usually be obtained numerically, or simply the structural properties exhibit a scatter at the macro-scale. In both cases, the representativity of the micro-scale volume element is lost and Statistical Volume Elements (SVE) [1] should be considered in order to account for the micro-structural uncertainties, which should in turn be propagated to the macro-scale in order to predict the structural properties in a probabilistic way. In this work we propose a non-deterministic multi-scale approach for composite materials following the methodology set in [2]. Uncertainties on the meso-scale properties and their (spatial) correlations are first evaluated through the homogenization of SVEs. This homogenization combines both mean-field method in order to gain efficiency and computational homogenization to evaluate the spatial correlation. A generator of the meso-scale material tensor is then implemented using the spectral method [3]. As a result, a meso-scale random field can be generated, paving the way to the use of stochastic finite elements to study the probabilistic behavior of macro-scale structures. [1] M.
