Abstract:

The principles and tools for the development of a stochastic data base that can be useful for researchers and practitioners is an objective of this work. This paper explores the construction of that data base, focusing on material properties. Principles for that construction are proposed, including: selected properties, required raw data and deliverable format. These principles are derived from possible applications of the data base and available tools for data analysis. The selection of statistics tools that can be used in the construction of a material data base is addressed. The definition of the statistic distribution for selected properties was pursued. Available raw data was analysed resulting in conclusions on difficulties and opportunities that arise from that.
