STOCHASTIC FIELD SIMULATION FOR ORTHOTROPIC MEDIA

Akira Nishitani, Shin-ya Suganuma, Tadahiko Sano

Abstract

How to simulate random spacial variability of an orthotropic material property is demonstrated. The simulation technique for generating the sample spacial irregularities is presented by taking the orthotropic characteristics into account. Through the Monte Carlo calculations by utilizing the simulation technique along with the finite element analysis, the orthotropic stress variations due to the spacial variabilities of the elastic coefficients are provided.
