Design of Artificial Neural Networks for damage estimation of composite laminates: Application to delamination failures in ply drops

This work proposes a data driven approach which utilizes Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in conjunction with parametric non-linear finite element analysis. The aim is to provide a low cost numerical counterpart to the expensive experimental testing…

Reduced polynomial invariant integrity basis for in-plane magneto-mechanical loading

The description of the behavior of a material subjected to multi-physics loadings requires the formulation of constitutive laws that usually derive from Gibbs free energies, using invariant quantities depending on the considered physics and material…

Blind broad-band (0-10 Hz) numerical prediction of the 3-D near field seismic response of a Mw6.0 extended fault scenario: application to the nuclear site of Cadarache (France)

In this paper, physics-based numerical simulation (PBS) is employed to render a broad-band (0–10 Hz) realization of the near-field seismic response of the experimental nuclear site of Cadarache, located nearby the active Middle Durance Fault …

Validation of a new viscoelastic model for unidirectional polymer matrix composites by analytical and numerical homogenisation

The long-term response of unidirectional, fibres-reinforced, polymer matrix composites is affected by the viscoelastic behaviour of the matrix. Most composite models introduce a different relaxation function for each of the five elastic parameters…

Machine learning and micromechanics as allies to establish composition-property correlations in cement pastes

Composition-property correlations are fundamental to understand cement-based materials behavior and optimize their formulation. Modelling based on fundamental material component constitutes a reliable tool to establish these correlations with the…

The distance to cubic symmetry class as a polynomial optimization problem

Generically, a fully measured elasticity tensor has no material symmetry. For single crystals with a cubic lattice, or for the aeronautics turbine blades superalloys such as Nickel-based CMSX-4, cubic symmetry is nevertheless expected. It is in…

A new Kalman filter approach for structural parameter tracking: application to the monitoring of damaging structures tested on shaking-tables

In this paper, a new data assimilation framework for correcting finite element models from datasets acquired on-the-fly in low-frequency dynamics is presented. An Unscented Kalman filter algorithm is coupled with a modified Constitutive Relation…

Distance to a constitutive tensor isotropy stratum by Lasserre polynomial optimization method

We give a detailed description of a polynomial optimization method allowing to solve a problem in continuum mechanics: the determination of the elasticity or the piezoelectricity tensor of a specific isotropy stratum the closest to a given…
