This work develops a multiphase thermomechanical model of porous silica aerogel and implements an uncertainty analysis framework consisting of the Sobol methods for global sensitivity analyses and Bayesian inference using a set of experimental data of silica aerogel. A notable feature of this work is implementing a new noise model within the Bayesian inversion to account for data uncertainty and modeling error. The hyper-parameters in the likelihood balance data misfit and prior contribution to the parameter posteriors and prevent their biased estimation. The results indicate that the uncertainty in solid conductivity and elasticity are the most influential parameters affecting the model output variance. Also, the Bayesian inference shows that despite the microstructural randomness in the thermal measurements, the model captures the data with 2 stress-strain measurements resulting in significant uncertainty in the computational prediction of a building insulation component.
