从异质全场变形数据中识别本构神经网络模型,为传统基于均匀应力-应变实验的标定方法提供了稳健替代方案,尤其适用于可训练参数维度高的情况。现有方法需在通用性、鲁棒性和计算效率间权衡:传统有限元模型更新适用广但计算量大;弱形式方法高效但对噪声和数据稀缺敏感;神经算子模型表达力强但需大量训练数据。本文提出FE-MAD(基于自动微分的有限元材料学习),一种端到端可微框架,将本构神经网络嵌入JAX-FEM非线性求解器,通过梯度下降最小化测量误差损失来识别参数。全程使用前向与反向自动微分自动计算牛顿切线刚度和损失梯度,无需解析伴随式或离线代理模型。验证了两种架构:灰箱本构人工神经网络(CANN)——具有高灵活性的多项式凸全连接模型;白箱CANN——具物理可解释应变能项的专家系统网络。聚焦不可压缩各向同性超弹性,评估于三个公开实验数据集:(1) 带孔拉伸试样的全场数字图像相关(DIC);(2) 仅含一维拉伸剖面与全局力-位移曲线的低数据量场景;(3) 多相基体-夹杂物体系,同时识别两相本构关系并泛化至22个未见样本。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The identification of constitutive neural network models from heterogeneous full-field deformation data provides a robust alternative to traditional calibration methods based on homogeneous stress-strain experiments, particularly given the high dimensionality of trainable parameters. Existing approaches must balance generality, robustness, and computational efficiency: Conventional finite element model updating is broadly applicable but computationally demanding; weak-form methods offer efficiency but are sensitive to noise and data scarcity; neural operator models are highly expressive but require extensive training datasets. This work presents FE-MAD (Finite Element-Based Material learning via Automatic Differentiation), an end-to-end differentiable framework that integrates a constitutive neural network model within a JAX-FEM nonlinear solver and identifies its parameters through gradient-based minimization of a measurement-mismatch loss. Newton tangent stiffness and loss gradients are computed automatically using forward- and reverse-mode automatic differentiation throughout the entire pipeline, thereby removing the need for analytic adjoints or offline surrogate models. FE-MAD is demonstrated for two architectures: a grey-box Constitutive Artificial Neural Network (CANN), a polyconvex, fully connected model with high flexibility, and a white-box CANN, an expert-system network with phenomenologically interpretable strain-energy terms. Focusing on incompressible isotropic hyperelasticity, FE-MAD is evaluated on three open experimental datasets: (1) full digital image correlation (DIC) of a perforated tensile specimen, (2) a reduced-data scenario with a one-dimensional stretch profile and global force-displacement curve, and (3) a heterogeneous matrix-inclusion system in which both phases constitutive laws are identified and generalized to twenty-two previously unseen samples.
