The influence of material inertia on neck development in a notched round bar is analyzed numerically. Dynamic axisymmetric calculations are carried out for isotropically hardening elastic-viscoplastic solids so that both material strain…

Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is investigated via a two-pronged approach. First, a nonlocal phenomenological model for the elastic free energy is examined. This features a quenched random kernel,…

A major goal of machine learning is to create techniques that abstract away irrelevant information. The generalisation property of standard Learning Classifier System (LCS) removes such information at the feature level but not at the…

This paper proposes a gamma process for modelling the damage that accumulates over time in the lumber used in structural engineering applications when stress is applied. The model separates the stochastic processes representing features…

Atomistic computations of the Peierls stress in fcc metals are relatively scarce. By way of contrast, there are many more atomistic computations for bcc metals, as well as mixed discrete-continuum computations of the Peierls-Nabarro type…

We develop a strain gradient plasticity formulation for composite materials with spatially varying volume fractions to characterize size effects in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The model is grounded on the mechanism-based strain…

We analyze a mesoscopic model of a shear stress material with a three dimensional slab geometry, under an external quasistatic deformation of a simple shear type. Relaxation is introduced in the model as a mechanism by which an unperturbed…

The Statistical Finite Element Method (statFEM) offers a Bayesian framework for integrating computational models with observational data, thus providing improved predictions for structural health monitoring and digital twinning. This paper…

Random effects are a flexible addition to statistical models to capture structural heterogeneity in the data, such as spatial dependencies, individual differences, temporal dependencies, or non-linear effects. Testing for the presence (or…

In ergonomics and biomechanics, muscle fatigue models based on maximum endurance time (MET) models are often used to integrate fatigue effect into ergonomic and biomechanical application. However, due to the empirical principle of those MET…

Recent advancements in machine learning-based methods have demonstrated great potential for improved property prediction in material science. However, reliable estimation of the confidence intervals for the predicted values remains a…

In stochastic optimization, particularly in evolutionary computation and reinforcement learning, the optimization of a function $f: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ is often addressed through optimizing a so-called relaxation $\theta \in \Theta…
