Zusammenfassung: | In this article, an investigation was carried out to verify hybrid models capabilities to predict the effective properties of heterogeneous materials. A hybrid model ANN−φ is developed by combining artificial neural networks and micromechanical modeling. The homogenization approach used in this study is mainly based on Eshelby's inclusion problem. The ANN−φ model, once trained on an Eshelby's tensors database, showed an excellent predictive capabilities of the effective mechanical behavior and local stresses in heterogeneous materials. The obtained results with ANN−φ are compared to numerical estimations which are often costly in terms of computational time. The results presented in this work show that the developed hybrid model can provide a significant computational time saving by a factor up to 2000 for 104 phases while maintaining its accuracy and reliability. |
