The macroscopic behavior of many materials is complex and the end result of mechanisms that operate across a broad range of disparate scales. An imperfect knowledge of material behavior across scales is a source of epistemic uncertainty of the overall material behavior. However, assessing this uncertainty is difficult due to the complex nature of material response and the prohibitive computational cost of integral calculations. In this paper, we exploit the multiscale and hierarchical nature of material response to develop an approach to quantify the overall uncertainty of material response without the need for integral calculations. Specifically, we bound the uncertainty at each scale and then combine the partial uncertainties in a way that provides a bound on the overall or integral uncertainty. The bound provides a conservative estimate on the uncertainty. Importantly, this approach does not require integral calculations that are prohibitively expensive. We demonstrate the framework on the problem of ballistic impact of a polycrystalline magnesium plate. Magnesium and its alloys are of current interest as promising light-weight structural and protective materials. Finally, we remark that the approach can also be used to study the sensitivity of the overall response to particular mechanisms at lower scales in a materials-by-design approach.
We present a simple and robust strategy for the selection of sampling points in Uncertainty Quantification. The goal is to achieve the fastest possible convergence in the cumulative distribution function of a stochastic output of interest. We assume
The forward problems of pattern formation have been greatly empowered by extensive theoretical studies and simulations, however, the inverse problem is less well understood. It remains unclear how accurately one can use images of pattern formation to
We consider the problem of parameterizing Newman-type models of Li-ion batteries focusing on quantifying the inherent uncertainty of this process and its dependence on the discharge rate. In order to rule out genuine experimental error and instead is
Ongoing investigations for the improvement of Geant4 accuracy and computational performance resulting by refactoring and reengineering parts of the code are discussed. Issues in refactoring that are specific to the domain of physics simulation are id
