  The aim of our work is to provide a simple homogenization and
discrete-to-continuum procedure for energy driven problems involving stochastic
rapidly-oscillating coefficients. Our intention is to extend the periodic
unfolding method to the stochastic setting. Specifically, we recast the notion
of stochastic two-scale convergence in the mean by introducing an appropriate
stochastic unfolding operator. This operator admits similar properties as the
periodic unfolding operator, leading to an uncomplicated method for stochastic
homogenization. Secondly, we analyze the discrete-to-continuum (resp.
stochastic homogenization) limit for a rate-independent system describing a
network of linear elasto-plastic springs with random coefficients.
