Abstract For material modeling and discovery, synthetic microstructures play a critical role as digital twins. They provide stochastic samples upon which direct numerical simulations can be conducted to populate databases. A large ensemble of simulation data on may supplemental inform refine macroscopic models, might not feasible from physical experiments alone. However, synthesizing realistic with microstructural attributes is highly challenging. Thus, it often oversimplified via rough...
Abstract We present a machine learning framework capable of consistently inferring mathematical expressions hyperelastic energy functionals for incompressible materials from sparse experimental data and physical laws. To achieve this goal, we propose polyconvex neural additive model (PNAM) that enables us to express the in learnable feature space while enforcing polyconvexity. An upshot obtained via PNAM is (1) it spanned by set univariate basis functions can be re‐parametrized with more...
Building surrogate models with uncertainty quantification capabilities is essential for many engineering applications where randomness, such as variability in material properties, unavoidable. Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE) widely recognized a to-go method constructing stochastic solutions both intrusive and non-intrusive ways. Its application becomes challenging, however, complex or high-dimensional processes, achieving accuracy requires higher-order polynomials, which can increase...
The Deep Operator Network (DeepONet) is a powerful neural operator architecture that uses two networks to map between infinite-dimensional function spaces. This allows for the evaluation of solution field at any location within domain but requires input functions be discretized identical locations, limiting practical applications. We introduce general framework learning from input-output data with arbitrary sensor locations and counts. begins by introducing resolution-independent DeepONet...

To accurately simulate fracture, it is necessary to account for small-scale randomness in the properties of a material. Apparent statistical volume element (SVE) can be characterized below scale representative (RVE). cannot defined uniquely an SVE, manner that unique effective RVE. Both constitutive behavior and material strength SVE must statistically characterized.

The response of quasi-brittle materials is greatly influenced by their microstructural architecture and variations. To model such statistical variability, Statistical Volume Elements (SVEs) are used to derive a scalar fracture strength for domains populated with microcracks. By employing the moving window approach probability density function covariance field obtained. Karhunen-Loève method generate realizations that consistent SVE-derived statistics. effect homogenization scheme, through...
To accurately predict fracture patterns in quasi-brittle materials, it is necessary to characterize heterogeneity the properties of a material microstructure. This influences crack propagation at weaker points. Also, inherent randomness localized creates variability population nominally identical samples. In order account for strength small scale (or “microscale”), mesoscale model developed an intermediate scale, smaller than size overall structure. A central challenge characterizing...

Maintaining material inhomogeneity and sample-to-sample variations is crucial in fracture analysis, particularly for quasibrittle materials. We use statistical volume elements (SVEs) to homogenize elastic properties of ZrB2-SiC, a two-phase composite often used thermal coating. At the mesoscale, 2D finite element mesh generated from microstructure using Conforming Interface Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (CISAMR), which non-iterative algorithm that tracks interfaces yields high-quality...
Conventional neural network elastoplasticity models are often perceived as lacking interpretability. This paper introduces a two-step machine learning approach that returns mathematical interpretable by human experts. In particular, we introduce surrogate model where yield surfaces expressed in terms of set single-variable feature mappings obtained from supervised learning. A post-processing step is then used to re-interpret the mapping functions into form through symbolic regression....
