Stochastic J-integral and realiability of composite laminates based on a computational methodology combining experimental investigation, stochastic finite element analysis and maximum entropy method

The present thesis concerns itself with the stochastic fracture behavior and the reliability of laminated composites. A computational approach combining the Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM), the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM), and experimental investigation has been developed. Using this approa...
