The extensive use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials in a wide range of industries, and their inherent variability, has prompted many researchers to assess their performance from a probabilistic perspective.

The extensive use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials in a wide range of industries, and their inherent variability, has prompted many researchers to assess their performance from a probabilistic perspective. A wide range of stochastic analysis methods have been developed to account for this inherent uncertainty at different scales. The choice of micro-/meso-/macro- scale modelling depends on the analysis of interest and each class has advantages/limitations. It is often advantageous to fuse the different modelling levels in a multi-scale approach, either within a deterministic or, most importantly, within a stochastic framework. This presentation gives an overview of the research carried out on some of these aspects by the speaker as part of an EPSRC and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) funded project.
