Mechanical couplings of 2D lattices uncovered by decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor and symmetry operation

Submitted by Joshua on

We introduce a generalized methodology to uncover all mechanical couplings in 2D lattice geometries by obtaining the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. We also correlate the mechanical couplings with the point groups of 2D lattices by applying the symmetry operation to the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. The decoupled micropolar constitutive equation reveals eight mechanical coupling effects in planar solids, four of which are discovered for the first time in the mechanics' community.

Problem-independent machine learning (PIML)-based topology optimization—A universal approach

Submitted by Xu Guo on

     Solving topology optimization problem is very computationally demanding especially when high resolution results are sought for. In the present work, a problem-independent machine learning (PIML) technique is proposed to reduce the computational time associated with finite element analysis (FEA) which constitutes the main bottleneck of the solution process.

Defect-based Physics-Informed Machine Learning Framework for Fatigue Prediction

Submitted by enrico.salvati1 on

I would like to draw your attention to our recently proposed predictive method based on a semi-empirical model (LEFM) and Neural Network, exploiting the Physics-informed Machine Learning concept. We show how the accuracy of state-of-the-art fatigue predictive models, based on defects present in materials, can be significantly boosted by accounting for additional morphological features via Physics-Informed Machine Learning.
