Maximizing buckling load of metabeams via combinatorial optimization of microstructures

Submitted by Jinxiong Zhou on

Design of mechanical metamaterials is typically realized by repeating microstructured building blocks or unit cells. Microstructures of these unit cells can be identical, whereas individual design of each cell and various combinations of unit cells definitely offer more freedoms and possibilities for combinatorial design of metamaterials. Unfortunately, this combinatorial design problem is prohibitively challenging, if not impossible, due mainly to its huge number of combinatorial cases.

Corrector operator to enhance accuracy and reliability of neural operator surrogates of nonlinear variational boundary-value problems

Submitted by Prashant K. Jha on

I am excited to announce our work (with Dr. Oden) on enhancing the accuracy of neural operators using the so-called corrector operator. This work is a culmination of our efforts in using goal-oriented a-posteriori error estimates in Bayesian inference in Jha and Oden (2022), JCP 470, 111575, and recently using a similar idea in Cao et al. (2023), JCP 486, 112104
