Summary: Anisotropic spatial variability of soil properties has a significant influence on slope failure probability and failure characteristics. The directional angles of scales of fluctuation and the cross-correlation between soil properties are the key factors. General anisotropic spatial variability has a stronger effect on slope reliability compared to transverse anisotropic spatial variability.

Summary: The paper introduces a method called multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) for time-variant reliability analysis, aiming to enhance computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy and robustness. By discretizing the time interval using a geometric sequence of different timesteps and estimating the cumulative probability of failure with corrections from all levels, the method optimizes the number of random samples at each level to minimize computational complexity. Independently computed corrections at each level allow achieving accuracy at a lower cost compared to crude Monte Carlo simulation, while maintaining robustness to nonlinearity and dimensions.

Summary: The durability problem of reinforced concrete structures is significant in civil engineering due to the tendency of steel rebars to rust. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars have emerged as a substitute for reinforcement due to their corrosion resistance, lightweight, and easy construction. However, the low elastic modulus and brittle failure nature of FRP rebars lead to large deflections and cracks in FRP concrete beams without obvious warning signs. The hybrid reinforced concrete beam, which combines the advantages of steel rebars and FRP rebars, is a promising structural form. Hence, reliability analysis is essential to ensure the safety of these hybrid reinforced beams.

Summary: This work proposes a probabilistic approach to phase-field brittle and ductile fracture, considering random material and geometric properties. The macroscopic failure mechanics assumes homogeneity and determinism in materials properties and spatial quantities, while the lower scale with strong fluctuation in properties is approximated with uncertainty. The proposed model employs representative volume elements with random distribution of inclusions and voids to model the uncertainty. Monte Carlo Finite Element Method is used to solve the stochastic PDE-based model and approximate the expected value and variance of the solution field. The model is effective for predicting failure mechanisms in brittle/ductile fracture.

Summary: Despite the widespread use of Navier-Stokes equations in computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD), there are still unanswered questions due to the absence of considering the statistical nature of discrete air molecules. In this study, we propose a statistical mechanics-based approach called the volume-element method, which allows for the numerical evaluation of aerodynamic lift and drag. We obtained pressure and friction values as a function of the angle of attack for flat-plate airfoils, and this method can be directly applied to convex-shape airfoils and combined with Monte Carlo simulations for concave-shape airfoils. This approach not only has implications for aerodynamic applications, but also opens up possibilities for further applications in Boson or Fermi gases.

Summary: Current creep life assessment methods for components at high temperatures are primarily based on deterministic analysis, which cannot achieve probabilistic evaluation of creep failure. Therefore, a probabilistic framework for creep life assessment of components at high temperatures was provided. A method of determining the distribution characteristics of material parameters was proposed through random selection of results at each stress level. Monte Carlo simulation combined with finite element analysis technology was used to capture the distribution characteristic of creep rupture life of a typical structural component. The effect of standard deviation of material parameters on creep reliability assessment was discussed. Comparisons between probabilistic and deterministic creep design methods were made. Results showed that the probabilistic analysis strategy can calculate the specific value of failure probability at various loading conditions, instead of two failure probability values (i.e. 100% and 0%) as determined by deterministic analysis. The effect of standard deviation on the mean values of effective stress and creep rupture life of the component depends on the distribution characteristics of material parameters and related variables. A smaller standard deviation reduces the data scatter of effective stress and creep rupture life of the component.

Summary: In this paper, a parallel preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) solver based on octree pattern is developed for large-scale elastostatic and implicit elastodynamic applications. The problem domain is discretized using octree cells for automatic mesh generation. Compatibility between neighboring octree cells is ensured by employing polyhedral elements. The solver performs matrix operations using an octree pattern-based pre-computation approach, reducing memory requirements and achieving efficient matrix product computations. Parallelism is achieved through mesh partitioning and MPI directives. The results show that the developed PCG solver achieves significant parallel speed-up and efficiency on distributed memory systems. The proposed framework is demonstrated through large-scale examples for CAD and image-based analyses.

Summary: A scaled boundary finite element-based phase field formulation is proposed for modeling 2D fracture in saturated poroelastic media. An adaptive refinement strategy based on quadtree meshes is adopted to avoid the constraints of fine uniform meshes when using phase field models. The unique advantage of the scaled boundary finite element method allows for efficient computation on quadtree meshes without special treatment of hanging nodes. The proposed model is validated and demonstrated through numerical examples of hydraulic fractures.

Summary: Many applications in computational physics involve approximating problems with microstructure, characterized by multiple spatial scales in their data. However, these numerical solutions are often computationally expensive due to the need to capture fine details at small scales. Traditional projection based reduced order models (ROMs) fail to resolve these issues, even for second-order elliptic PDEs commonly found in engineering applications. To address this, we propose an alternative nonintrusive strategy to build a ROM, that combines classical proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a suitable neural network (NN) model to account for the small scales.

Summary: This manuscript presents an efficient model construction strategy for the eigenstrain homogenization method (EHM) for the reduced order models of the nonlinear response of heterogeneous microstructures. The strategy relies on a parallel, element-by-element, conjugate gradient solver, achieving near linear scaling with respect to the number of degrees of freedom used to resolve the microstructure. The linear scaling in the number of pre-analyses required to construct the reduced order model (ROM) follows from the EHM formulation. The developed framework has been verified using an additively manufactured polycrystalline microstructure of Inconel 625.

Summary: The Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) is a Model Order Reduction framework used for parametric analysis of physical problems. It allows for offline computation and real-time simulation in various situations. However, its efficiency may decrease when the domain itself is considered as a parameter. Optimal transport techniques have shown exceptional performance in interpolating fields over geometric domains with varying shapes. Therefore, combining these two techniques is a natural choice. PGD handles the parametric solution while the optimal transport-based methodology transports the solution for a family of domains defined by geometric parameters.
