Stochastic finite elements: Where is the physics?

The micromechanics based on the Hill-Mandel condition indicates that the majority of stochastic finite element methods hinge on random field (RF) models of material properties (such as Hooke’s law) having no physical content, or even at odds with physics. At the same time, that condition allows...
