MS352 - Material Uncertainties Across Scales: A Stochastic and Machine Learning Approach for Modelling Nonlinear Material Behaviour
Keywords: Computational Mechanics, Machine Learning, Stochastic Multiscale, Uncertainty Quantification
Engineering materials are inherently heterogeneous at micro- and meso-scales, often exhibiting variability due to manufacturing imperfections or natural processes. Capturing the mechanical response of such materials at the macroscopic scale requires a modeling framework that accounts for both aleatory (random) and epistemic (knowledge-based) uncertainties.
This minisymposium explores modern approaches to multiscale material modeling that integrate stochastic methods and machine learning to represent and propagate uncertainty across scales. A central focus lies in learning effective macroscopic constitutive laws from microstructural data and understanding how uncertainties at lower scales affect system-level behavior—particularly in nonlinear regimes.
We invite contributions in the following areas:
• Stochastic modeling of heterogeneous and anisotropic materials
• Stochastic and classical multiscale methods
• Scientific machine learning for uncertainty-aware multiscale modeling
• Uncertainty quantification in nonlinear material behavior
• Model order reduction techniques for multiscale problems
