In a recent work, we demonstrated how to combine state-of-the-art micromechanical modeling and advanced machine learning techniques to homogenize complex microstructures exhibiting non-linear and history dependent behaviors (Logarzo et al., 2021). The resulting homogenized model, termed smart constitutive law (SCL), enables the adoption of microstructurally informed constitutive laws into finite element solvers at a fraction of the computational cost required by traditional concurrent multiscale approaches. In this work, the capabilities of SCLs are expanded via the introduction of a novel methodology that enforces material symmetries at the neuron level, applicable across various neural network architectures. This approach utilizes tensor-based features in neural networks, facilitating the concise and accurate representation of symmetry-preserving operations, and is general enough to be extend to problems beyond constitutive modeling. Details on the construction of these tensor-based neural networks and their application in learning constitutive laws are presented for both elastic and inelastic materials. The superiority of this approach over traditional neural networks is demonstrated in scenarios with limited data and strong symmetries, through comprehensive testing on various materials, including isotropic neo-Hookean materials and tensegrity lattice metamaterials. This work is concluded by a discussion on the potential of this methodology to discover symmetry bases in materials and by an outline of future research directions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56247,"journal":{"name":"Extreme Mechanics Letters","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 102188"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352431624000683/pdfft?md5=a6079be019d91d1f3f45b2fa94affc7c&pid=1-s2.0-S2352431624000683-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141638032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lithium dendrite formation is particularly critical, as dendrites can penetrate solid-state electrolytes, eventually shorting to the cathode, thereby diminishing the capacity of the battery and inducing severe safety hazards. These primary issues are intrinsically linked to the mechanical behavior of lithium; as such, this study focuses on the mechanical response of lithium electrodeposition under various electrochemical conditions.

In this paper, the unfolding behavior of single crease origami units under partial stretch is systematically investigated. From the bending phenomenon of paper models, a parametrical simulation analysis is performed to analyze deformation patterns and virtual crease distribution. Furthermore, the overall uniform motion efficiency of origami units with local driving is discussed, while the criterion of uniform unfolding motion of the crease is defined. The feasible ranges of partial load factors corresponding to single crease origami units with different initial crease angles are also clarified under the constraint of the required uniform motion range. Mechanical and kinematic models are also established based on equivalent rigid plate nonlinear crease elements and equivalent single-vertex six-crease patterns, which can accurately identify the deformation characteristics of the single-crease origami unit under partial stretch. Furthermore, the flattening analysis of derived single-vertex six-crease origami units and their arrays is also carried out to investigate the influence of sector angles and crease rotation stiffness. Two different decay characteristics are observed, corresponding to the fully flattened planar state and the non-fully flattened planar state, respectively. A motion snap that occurs before the fully flattened planar state is also identified.
