Abstract
Modeling and simulation of materials with stochastic properties is an emerging field in both mathematics and mechanics. The most important goal is to compute the stochastic characteristics of the random stress, such as the expectation value and the standard deviation. An accurate approach are Monte Carlo simulations; however, they consume drastic computational power due to the large number of stochastic realizations that have to be simulated before convergence is achieved. In this paper, we show that a recently published approach for accurate modeling of viscoelastic materials with stochastic material properties at the material point level in the work of Junker and Nagel is also valid for macroscopic bodies. The method is based on a separation of random but time-invariant variables and time-dependent but deterministic variables for the strain response at the material point (time-separated stochastic mechanics [TSM]). We recall the governing equations, derive a simplified form, and discuss the numerical implementation into a finite element routine. To validate our approach, we compare the TSM simulations with Monte Carlo simulations, which provide the “true” answer but at unaffordable computational costs. In contrast, the numerical effort of our approach is in the same range as for deterministic viscoelastic simulations.
