Abstract
The mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composite materials are scattered
especially in the development of a new and cost-effective manufacturing process. The main
reason lies in the microstructural variability expressed by physical parameters of constituent
materials and geometrical parameters to express the morphology at microscale. The short fiber
reinforced composite materials can be fabricated easily by injection molding method, but they
have random microstructures. To solve the problem considering variability, there have been
many studies on the stochastic finite element method. The first-order perturbation based
stochastic homogenization (FPSH) method has been developed based on the multiscale theory
and verified for porous materials and multi-phase composite materials considering the
variability in physical parameters. However, its applications were limited to linear elastic
problems. Therefore, this study aims at the development of a stochastic nonlinear multiscale
computational method. In its application to short fiber reinforced composites, the final goal of
this study is to clarify the important random factors in the microstructure that give significant
influence on the damage propagation.
Firstly, the above FPSH method was extended for the stochastic calculation of
microscopic strain. This theory enabled us to analyze the damage initiation and propagation in
a stochastic way. Since huge scenarios exist in the nonlinear behaviors, however, a subsampling scheme was proposed in the analysis by FPSH method together with the sampling
scheme for geometrical random parameters. Furthermore, to reduce the computational time for
practical and large-scale analyses of stochastic damage propagation problems, a numerical
algorithm to accelerate the convergence of element-by-element scaled conjugate gradient
(EBE-SCG) iterative solver for FPSH method was developed. The efficiency was demonstrated
for spherical particulate-embedded composite material considering the damage in the coating
layer and the variability in physical parameter.
Finally, the developed computational method was applied to short fiber reinforced
composite materials. The fiber length distribution, fiber orientation denoted by two angles and
II
fiber arrangement were considered as the geometrical parameters in addition to a physical
random parameter. 11 models were analyzed having different fiber orientation and fiber
arrangement with variability. In the sub-sampling, 2 scenarios with 50% and 0.3% probabilities
were analyzed, which resulted in totally 22 cases. The differences among 22 possible damage
patterns were discussed deeply. It was figured out that very largely scattered degradation of
homogenized macroscopic properties was mostly affected by the fiber arrangement rather than
the fiber orientation. This finding was different from the result in linear elastic region. The
physical random parameters were more influential on the macroscopic properties. Also in these
analyses, the accelerated EBE-SCG method was again shown to be efficient.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Motivation
Heterogeneous and composite materials, like hardened steel, bronze or wood were
valued since ancient times because they provide better performance compared to the individual
phases or components which they consist of. Nowadays the idea of combining eligible materials
to form a composite material with new and superior properties compared to its individual
components is still subject to ongoing research. For example, polymers, which by nature have
a low density, can be reinforced by highly stiff and strong glass or carbon fibers, both
continuous and discontinuous. Such fiber reinforced composites excel in high specific
mechanical properties. For lightweight structures, high specific stiffness and strength are crucial
requirements. The higher the specific mechanical properties are the lighter a part or construction
can be designed. Hence, composite materials are increasingly attractive for fulfilling industrial
needs because their mechanical and physical-chemical properties can be adapted to meet
specific design requirements. To improve the performance of composites, multiscale study is
now a popular topic in computational mechanics. The real composite materials are
heterogeneous and characterized by various degrees of inherent variability or randomness.
Variability exists on all scales from the arrangement of a material microstructure to the structure
at the macroscale. Particularly, there may exist variability in the constituent material properties,
and geometries of the composite materials at various scales. The variability in these parameters
induces variability of the mechanical behaviour and damage evolution in the materials which
may cause severe random reflections of composite structures. Besides, the variability of the
materials may result in huge unpredicted scenarios of damage evolution. Damages in a
composite structure may remain hidden below the surface, undetectable by visual inspection
until the entire structure has failed.
For the improvements in the design processing technologies on cost-efficient design,
the building block approach (BBA) is applied to test scale-up from coupons, elements, and
subcomponents to establish final composite structures [1, 2]. This approach implies decreasing
1
the number of tests when moving from coupon tests level to testing of the entire products such
as aircraft or automobiles. This approach still results in a large number of mechanical tests
required for certification of new material because of variability or uncertainty (~104) [3]. The
total number of tests becomes enormous when several candidate materials are considered. At
the lower level of the BBA, the composite microstructures of coupons are often investigated by
virtual testing. The engineering constants, strengths, and strain-to-failure of a coupon are
estimated by tension, compression, and shear tests [2]. During manufacturing processes,
composite materials involve many randomness or variability in microstructures affecting the
quality of the component. This BBA needs to involve many experiments to achieve a safe
design. It results in excessive cost and time-consuming processes. Modelling of mechanical
behaviour can facilitate the development of new materials at all stages of the design chain and
reduce the number of real experiments during the certification process. And, the replacement
of a huge number of experimental tests of composite materials by the stochastic numerical
simulation considering the variability or uncertainty is a big matter of concern recently.
However, only a few of these variabilities have been studied in detail.
Multiscale modeling is a useful tool for predicting the effective macroscopic behaviour
of materials having a periodic structure at the microscale. Most of the modern approaches to
composites modelling are based on the well-established multiscale approach which suggests to
build a hierarchy of scale levels starting from the micro-scale of individual fibers up to the
macro-scale of components. Several analytical and computational models have been proposed
to calculate the mechanical properties of composite materials, such as multiphase materials [4–
6], short fiber reinforced composite (SFRC) structure [7, 8], metal/ceramic composites [9],
textile composite materials [10, 11], or particulate composite structures [12, 13]. The
asymptotic homogenization-based finite element method, a popular multiscale method, has
been widely used in the analysis of the mechanical properties of composite material [14–17].
However, conventional multiscale modeling does not explicitly account for variability
and uncertainty in the physical and geometrical parameters of microstructures. A few recent
studies have used a variety of numerical methods to address this. Xu [18] developed a multiscale
stochastic finite element method (SFEM) to resolve scale-coupling stochastic elliptic problems.
