Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly applied in engineering
structures especially for achieving high demands on structural performance, but they are …

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) has been extensively applied in underground engineering
construction as a popular ground-support technique. In recent decades, a series of …

Although a number of methods have been developed to generate random fields, it remains a
challenge to efficiently generate a large, multi-dimensional, multi-variate property field. For …

Abstract Tow-Based Discontinuous Composites (TBDCs, composed by chopped carbon-
fibre tows embedded in polymer) combine high performance with manufacturability; the …

We propose a new deterministic robust design optimization method for composite laminate
structures under worst-case material uncertainty. The method is based on a simultaneous …

This manuscript investigates the probability model and the length effect of tensile strength for
unidirectional plates of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). Firstly, 30 unidirectional …

The uncertainty information related to uncertain structural, material and geometric
parameters is included in the available input uncertainty data, and there are multiple …

This paper is aimed at proposing a novel uncertainty analysis approach based on
polynomial chaos expansion method for composite structures, where mixed uncertainties …

5 D woven SiO 2f/SiO 2 composites possess geometric variabilities across scales, such as
the spatial fluctuations of fibers and yarns or the random distributions of defects and pores …

For modeling material properties having a bounded range, the beta distribution may be
adopted as the marginal distribution of a second-order non-Gaussian random field. Three …
