Abstract
This paper focuses on the computational homogenization of graphene sheet-reinforced composites with randomly dispersed inclusions and uncertainty in the constituent materials. Material uncertainty of the matrix and of the graphene inclusions are considered separately and their relative effect on the homogenized properties is assessed. The uncertainty in the inclusion material is due to structural defects of the graphene lattice and is taken into account using random variables for each component of the elasticity matrix. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation is used to extract the statistical characteristics of the homogenized properties of the composite material. The results lead to useful conclusions regarding the effect of material and geometrical uncertainty on the macroscopic properties of graphene sheet-reinforced composites.
