ABSTRACT
Quasicrystals display random properties associated with the coupling coefficient between macroscopic (phonon) deformation and microstructural (phason) changes. With reference to the infinitesimal deformation regime, by coupling Monte Carlo simulation with finite element techniques, we show the possible existence of phenomena of stochastic clustering and self-organization of phonon and phason modes in icosahedral quasicrystals by considering the phonon- phason coupling coefficient as a random field over the body.
