Conclusions• A novel stochastic multiscale method to predict the probabilistic behaviors of micro structures involving adhesive contacts is developed.• The model is computationally effective.• The model is validated by a comparison with experimental data.
Results• Comparison between direct MCS and stochastic model-based methods• The stochastic model-based method can predict the nominate properties of the crack length distribution.•
Comparison between numerical prediction and experimental data [3]• The stochastic model-based method can predict the experimental results with high accuracy.
