新兴的可持续材料越来越依赖于工程化的多层级结构与微结构来调控其性能和力学行为。对具有可控微结构的材料进行优化,需要高效的多尺度模拟。基于数据的微尺度代理模型可加速多尺度模拟,但即使针对固定微结构也需大量数据。当考虑多种微结构时(如多尺度优化场景),所需训练数据量更大。为此,本文提出一种将混合物理-数据代理模型基于微结构变量进行条件化的方法,采用超网络实现。该方法在小样本数据下即可准确预测菌丝-木屑复合材料的多尺度力学行为。条件化代理模型使功能梯度结构的多尺度模拟成为可能,并通过全尺寸FE²模拟验证。我们对梯度多尺度盘进行了优化,相比随机微结构,峰值应力降低了42%。进一步地,直接将网络条件化在可复杂影响微结构的制造变量上,为实现宏观性能导向的微结构设计提供了实用路径。本工作突显了微架构结构的优势,展示了条件化代理模型如何推动其多尺度优化,有望加速未来可持续材料与结构的设计与发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Emerging sustainable materials increasingly rely on engineered hierarchy and microstructure to achieve control of their properties and mechanical behavior. Optimizing these materials with controllable microstructures requires efficient multiscale simulations. Data-driven surrogate models for the microscale can accelerate multiscale simulations, but require large amounts of data even for a fixed microstructure. When a range of microstructures is considered, as is the case in multiscale optimization, even more data is needed to train a surrogate. To overcome this challenge, we condition a hybrid physics-data surrogate on microstructural variables using a hypernetwork. This approach enables accurate predictions of multiscale mechanical behavior for a mycelium-woodchip composite material, even when trained on small datasets. The conditioned surrogate makes multiscale simulations of functionally graded structures tractable, and we validate it against a full FE^2 simulation. We optimize a graded multiscale disk, and reduce the peak stress by 42% compared to one with a random microstructure. Then, we go one step further, conditioning the network directly on manufacturing variables that can have a complex influence on the microstructure. This is a practical route to engineer the microscale for desired macroscale behavior. This contribution highlights the benefits of microarchitectured structures and demonstrates how conditioned surrogate models enable their multiscale optimization, which will accelerate the development and design of future sustainable materials and structures.
