This $457,384 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a new computational framework for stochastic analysis of quasibrittle damage and fracture through 2025. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), key products include a mechanism-based model for mapping random fields of material properties onto finite elements to resolve mesh dependence issues in stochastic finite element simulations of quasibrittle structures. Validation will utilize experimental data on the size and geometry effects on probabilistic failure of porous rock. Broader impacts include educational activities like a high school summer program and workshops to promote diversity in engineering research. This award advances the NSF's mission to support fundamental engineering research and education.
