arXiv:2607. 16583v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kirigami turns stiff sheets into compliant, shape-morphing structures, but its reliance on periodic cut patterns comes at a cost: correlated panel rotations couple extension to shear, so stretching one axis drives a parasitic shear that cannot be suppressed, and also confine anisotropic stiffness to a narrow, discrete set of responses that cannot be tuned independently.

This paper presents a morphogenetic graph‑generation framework that builds mechanical lattices by sequentially adding nodes from a discrete dot matrix, mirroring natural growth processes. The resulting 3D lattices are evaluated with finite‑element analysis and encoded as graphs, which a graph convolutional neural network (GCNN) uses to learn a topology‑property map and predict compressive stiffness. By coupling the GCNN surrogate with rapid sampling, the authors perform inverse design to achieve target stiffness values and extend the method to curved, nonlinear beams for shape‑programming applications.
The paper introduces a data‑driven framework for modeling the hyperelastic and viscoelastic behavior of digital materials made by multi‑material 3D printing. It extends a classical constitutive formulation by Bergström and Boyce, preserving multiplicative kinematics and invariant‑based strain‑energy functions while learning equilibrium and nonequilibrium parameters from multi‑rate uniaxial compression data across different compositions. The approach can either predict closed‑form model parameters as functions of composition or construct polyconvex strain‑energy functions using neural ordinary differential equations, ensuring thermodynamic consistency and capturing rate‑dependent stiffness and hysteresis.

The paper presents a novel multi‑agent approach to generating physics‑constrained constitutive models using large language models (LLMs). A Creator agent proposes a model tailored to the data, while an Inspector agent audits each proposal against nine physical constraints and requests refinement if violations occur. Experiments with constitutive artificial neural networks on brain tissue, rubber, and porcine skin show that adding the Inspector increases the proportion of models passing all checks from 90 % to 95 % for Claude Opus 4.7 and from 47 % to 60 % for Kimi K2.5, while the resulting models match or exceed expert‑designed models in accuracy and generalization.

arXiv:2607. 04123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design of mechanical metamaterials seeks a periodic unit cell whose homogenized elastic properties meet a prescribed target, but current learning-based methods are data-hungry, mostly interpolative, and provide no guarantee that the generated design satisfies the specification.
