Acceleration of material‐dominated calculations via phase‐space simplicial subdivision and interpolation

Abstract

SUMMARYWe develop an acceleration method for material-dominated calculations based on phase-space simplicial interpolation of the relevant material-response functions. This process of interpolation constitutes an approximation scheme by which an exact material-response function is replaced by a sequence of approximating response functions. The terms in the sequence are increasingly accurate, thus ensuring the convergence of the overall solution. The acceleration ratio depends on the dimensionality, the complexity of the deformation, the time-step size, and the fineness of the phase-space interpolation. We ascertain these trade-offs analytically and by recourse to selected numerical tests. The numerical examples with piecewise-quadratic interpolation in phase space confirm the analytical estimates.

A review of predictive nonlinear theories for multiscale modeling of heterogeneous materials

“…Here, a range of tri-axial stretches and rotations is applied to create a material homogenization map of the second Piola stress tensor. Another attempt to construct a RSM of the strain energy density function includes a technique based on the phase-space simplicial interpolation [290]. Unfortunately, the localized solution (i.e.…”

Simple heuristic for data-driven computational elasticity with material data involving noise and outliers: a local robust regression approach

“…In the area of computer graphics, data-driven methods were proposed to construct simulation models of elastic fabrics [25,34], where cloth deformation models are estimated from data of experimental measurements. In computational mechanics, macroscopic constitutive properties of composites are extracted from a data set of the results of numerical material tests [3,5,21,[30][31][32]. This paper is inspired by the work of Kirchdoerfer and Ortiz [18], where the paradigm of data-driven computational mechanics is presented.…”

A nonlinear manifold-based reduced order model for multiscale analysis of heterogeneous hyperelastic materials

“…Limited mostly to small strain analysis, the Transformation Field Analysis (TFA) and its nonuniform extension (NTFA) have been popular as well [35][36][37]. Other attempts include proper generalized decomposition [21] and techniques based on the phase-space simplicial interpolation [38]. Recently, a novel Gaussian process emulator of parametrized partial differential equations for single scale analysis has been developed by Xing et al [39].…”
