Z-pinned composite laminates have been increasingly applied to aircraft and other
lightweight products. This paper reviews published multi-scale research into polymer …

To use predictive models in engineering design of physical systems, one should first
quantify the model uncertainty via model updating techniques employing both simulation …

An overview of the author's works, many of which were carried out in collaboration, is
presented. The first part concerns the quantification of uncertainties for complex engineering …

There are two critical components of connecting material and structural design in a
multiscale design process:(1) relate material processing parameters to the microstructure …

The woven composite twisted structure under cantilever load is studied using experimental
and multiscale numerical methods. The uncertain geometry parameters inside the twisted …

An analytical model for the fatigue probability of abrasive waterjet cut high strength steel as
a function of surface roughness, surface residual stress, tensile strength and number of …

An integrated multiscale modeling framework that incorporates a simulation-based
upscaling technique is developed and implemented for the material characterization of …

A set-based approach is presented for exploring multilevel design problems. The approach
is applied to design negative stiffness metamaterials with mechanical stiffness and loss …

Thin fiber networks are widely represented in nature and can be found in man-made
materials such as paper and packaging. The strength of such materials is an intricate subject …

This paper presents a framework for the modeling and analysis of material systems that
exhibit uncertainties in their constituents at all scales. The framework integrates multiscale …
