A Kriging Surrogate Model for Uncertainty Analysis of Graphene Based on a Finite Element Method

Due to the inevitable presence of random defects, unpredictable grain boundaries in macroscopic samples, stress concentration at clamping points, and unknown load distribution in the investigation of graphene sheets, uncertainties are crucial and challenging issues that require more exploration. The...
