Strain Energy

Strain energy, the energy stored in a deformed material, is a crucial concept for understanding material behavior and designing structures. Current research focuses on efficiently and accurately predicting strain energy and related quantities (stress, strain) using machine learning, particularly employing neural networks (including physics-informed and equivariant architectures) and generative models to overcome limitations of traditional methods like finite element analysis. These advancements are improving the modeling of complex materials, enabling more accurate simulations in diverse fields such as topology optimization and cardiovascular risk assessment, and facilitating the inverse design of materials with tailored properties.
