SPECIAL ISSUE
MULTISCALE MODELING AND UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION OF HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS JF International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering JO JMC YR 2011 FD 2011-06-30 VO 9 IS 4 OP vii-viii AB The papers for this special issue are included in Volume 9, Issues 3 and 4, 2011 of International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering and will focus on multiscale modeling and uncertainty quantification of heterogeneous materials. Particular emphasis is given to advanced computational methods which can greatly assist in tackling complex problems of multiscale stochastic material modeling. The papers can be grouped into several thematic topics that include homogenization and computation of effective elastic properties of random composites, development of computational models for large-scale heterogeneous microstructures, stochastic analysis and design of heterogeneous materials, and multiscale models for the simulation of fracture mechanisms in polycrystalline materials. The second part of the special issue consists of eight papers dealing with the development of computational models for large-scale heterogeneous microstructures, the stochastic analysis and design of heterogeneous materials, and multiscale models for the simulation of fracture mechanisms in poly-crystalline materials.
