On random characteristics of composite materials

Abstract

Theoretical formulation is described, which presents random characteristics in composite materials. The presented method is based on Poisson processes. Examples of random characteristics of composite materials are shown. The method presented can be used for evaluation of composite materials and the subsequent quantitative stochastic design as well as stochastic optimisation of composite materials.
