Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT We extend the laminate based framework of direct deep material networks (DMNs) to treat suspensions of rigid fibers in a non‐Newtonian solvent. To do so, we derive two‐phase homogenization blocks that are capable of treating incompressible fluid phases and infinite material contrast. In particular, we leverage existing results for linear elastic laminates to identify closed form expressions for the linear homogenization functions of two‐phase layered emulsions. To treat infinite material contrast, we rely on the repeated layering of two‐phase layered emulsions in the form of coated layered materials. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions which ensure that the effective properties of coated layered materials with incompressible phases are non‐singular, even if one of the phases is rigid. With the derived homogenization blocks and non‐singularity conditions at hand, we present a novel DMN architecture, which we name the flexible DMN (FDMN) architecture. We build and train FDMNs to predict the effective stress response of shear‐thinning fiber suspensions with a Cross‐type matrix material. For 31 fiber orientation states, six load cases, and over a wide range of shear rates relevant to engineering processes, the FDMNs achieve validation errors below 4.31% when compared to direct numerical simulations with fast‐Fourier‐transform based computational techniques. Compared to a conventional machine learning approach introduced previously by the consortium of authors, FDMNs offer better accuracy at an increased computational cost for the considered material and flow scenarios.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
