Stochastic analysis

The methodology of stochastic treatment of e-ion recombination kinetics is basically the same as for neutrals, except that the appropriate electrostatic field term must be included (see Sect. 7.3.1). This means the coulombic field in the dielectric for an isolated pair and, in the multiple ion-pair case, the field due to all unrecombined charges on each electron and ion. All the three methods of stochastic analysis—random flight Monte Carlo (MC), independent reaction time (IRT), and the master equation (ME)—have been used (Pimblott and Green, 1995).

In the vicinity of bifurcation points, fluctuations play an important role. A stochastic analysis 1 3 reveals that as the instability is approached from below, the system develops long-range spatial correlations and a concomitant divergence of the variance of fluctuations. The calculation of the divergence exponents indicates classical values in the presence of fluctuations varying in the hydrodynamic range.4 For spatial fluctuations of shorter range the problem remains open.

Stochastic analysis presents an alternative avenue for dealing with the inherently probabilistic and discontinuous microscopic events that underlie macroscopic phenomena. Many processes of chemical and physical interest can be described as random Markov processes.1,2 Unfortunately, solution of a stochastic master equation can present an extremely difficult mathematical challenge for systems of even modest complexity. In response to this difficulty, Gillespie3-5 developed an approach employing numerical Monte Carlo...

The way contextual correspondences are defined, they are deterministic, not allowing a probabilistic interpretation of a correspondence. Therefore, contextual correspondences are meant to resolve an issue of uncertainty by finding a more refined, yet deterministic, correspondence. It is worth noting, however, that an introduction of stochastic analysis already exists in the form of statistical significance, which can be extended to handle probabilistic mappings as well.

Another important future research activity for certification of structures under crash loads is to develop efficient stochastic analysis methods for use with explicit FE codes. Since crash events are stochastic in nature, through variability of structural mass, crash velocity, impact position and impact angle, a single crash simulation with one set of conditions is not sufficient for certification. In this case, a certification strategy should be based on a stochastic analysis with variation in crash conditions, which allows a failure envelope to be determined for a specific crash scenario. Then it is possible to consider the failure mode and crash energy absorbed under more realistic multiaxial crash loads to establish structural integrity for the worst case rather than a single crash scenario.

Another form of stochastic analysis is known as Markov Simulation, named after the nineteenth-century Russian mathematician. A Markov model shows all the possible system states, then goes through a series of jumps or transitions. Each jump represents a unit of time or a step in batch process. At each transition the system either stays where it is or moves to a new state.
