Banding and polarization in driven multistable materials
Sheng Huang, Daniel Hexner
We study a disordered network of bistable bonds subjected to periodic strain. The model is inspired by experiments on crumpled sheets and it features behaviors associated with glas…

Bridging statistical mechanics and thermodynamics away from equilibrium: a data-driven approach for learning internal variables and their dynamics
Weilun Qiu, Shenglin Huang, Celia Reina
Thermodynamics with internal variables is a common approach in continuum mechanics to model inelastic (i.e., non-equilibrium) material behavior. While this approach is computationa…
