Description
The MISE project develops a rigorous approach to the multiscale mechanical modeling of structures and materials whose response depends on geometric scale and variability of mechanical parameters. In systems characterized by a micro/nano-structures, defects, and constitutive dispersion, classical continuum models are inadequate to represent the effects of internal architecture and uncertainty on the global response. The project proposes the probabilistic identification of continuum models with additional parameters or specific constitutive terms, determined from microstructural models and experimental data. Bayesian inference, machine learning, and probabilistic modeling are employed in an integrated manner to update models, quantify uncertainty, and identify functional relationships between microscopic parameters and structural response. The objective is to define physically interpretable models able to reproduce scale effects and to provide estimates of model error.
