A Convex Route to Thermoelasticity: Learning Internal Energy and Dissipation

Hagen Holthusen, Paul Steinmann, Ellen Kuhl

We present a physics-based neural network framework for the discovery of constitutive models in fully coupled thermomechanics. In contrast to classical formulations based on the He…

Learning finite viscoelasticity with DAVIS: A supervised framework for generalized standard materials

Simon Wiesheier, Paul Steinmann, Miguel Angel Moreno-Mateos

This work revisits the recently proposed data-adaptive viscoelasticity (DAVIS) framework, a spline-based formulation of finite viscoelasticity within the generalized standard mater…

Learning ultra-compressible hyperelasticity with splines: Constitutive asymmetries and non-unique representations

Miguel Angel Moreno-Mateos, Simon Wiesheier, Paul Steinmann +1

Highly compressible solids, such as foams, exhibit complex responses, including pronounced tension-compression asymmetry. Capturing such behaviors within unified hyperelastic frame…

Data-adaptive spline surfaces for non-separable hyperelastic energy functions

Simon Wiesheier, Miguel Angel Moreno-Mateos, Paul Steinmann

Invariant-based models for incompressible isotropic hyperelasticity are typically formulated as functions of the first and second invariants, . A widel…

A statistical theory for polymer elasticity: from molecular kinematics to continuum behavior

Lin Zhan, Siyu Wang, Rui Xiao +2

Predicting the macroscopic mechanical behavior of polymeric materials from the micro-structural features has remained a challenge for decades. Existing theoretical models often fai…
