Subsampling and homogenization to investigate variability of composite material mechanical properties [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents an innovative homogenization sampling technique applied to multiscale modelling of composite materials. The goal is to build efficiently statistical variability of mechanical properties at mesoscopic scale from the heterogeneous media

A mechanistic approach to the Kitagawa-Takahashi diagram using a multiaxial probabilistic framework [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this paper is to propose a flexible multiaxial modelling framework that is capable of combining two fatigue damage mechanisms so as to continuously describe the Kitagawa-Takahashi diagram.

Statistical mechanics of combinatorial optimization problems with site disorder [PDF]
, 2005 We study the statistical mechanics of a class of problems whose phase space is the set of permutations of an ensemble of quenched random positions. Specific examples analyzed are the finite temperature traveling salesman problem on several different ...

Analysis of spallation based upon statistical microdamage mechanics
, 1997 A relationship between the cumulative length of microcracks and the amplitude and duration of tensile impulse in spallation was established based on the application of statistical microdamage mechanics, which included a statistical formulation and ...

On quantum and relativistic mechanical analogues in mean field spin models [PDF]
, 2014 Conceptual analogies among statistical mechanics and classical or quantum mechanics often appeared in the literature. For classical two-body mean field models, such an analogy is based on the identification between the free energy of Curie-Weiss type ...

Closed Trans-Scale Statistical Microdamage Mechanics [PDF]
, 2002 Damage and failure due to distributed microcracks or microvoids are on the challenging frontiers of solid mechanics. This appeals strongly to tools not yet fully developed in continuum damage mechanics, in particular to irreversible statistical ...

Trans-Scale Mechanics: Looking For The Missing Links Between Continuum And Micro/Nanoscopic Reality [PDF]
, 2008 Problems involving coupled multiple space and time scales offer a real challenge for conventional frameworks of either particle or continuum mechanics. In this paper, four cases studies (shear band formation in bulk metallic glasses, spallation resulting

Probability in physics: stochastic, statistical, quantum [PDF]
, 2013 I review the role of probability in contemporary physics and the origin of probabilistic time asymmetry, beginning with the pre-quantum case (both stochastic mechanics and classical statistical mechanics) but concentrating on quantum theory. I argue that
