Reduced models and especially those based on Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) are decision-making tools which are about to revolutionize many domains. Unfortunately, their calculation remains problematic for problems involving many parameters, for which one can invoke the "curse of dimensionality". The paper starts with the state-of-the-art for nonlinear problems involving stochastic parameters. Then, an answer to the challenge of many parameters is given in solid mechanics with the so-called "parameter-multiscale PGD", which is based on the Saint-Venant principle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
