Learning the Constitutive Behavior of Materials via Neural Operators and Causal Attention: Case Studies in Plasticity and Damage

The paper introduces a data‑driven constitutive modeling framework that treats a deforming material as a functional mapping from its entire strain history to the corresponding stress response. By training on full loading paths as function‑to‑function mappings, the model predicts complete stress trajectories in a single parallel forward pass, using causal attention to enforce temporal path dependence and spectral convolutions for discretization‑invariant representations. The approach is validated on multidimensional, rate‑independent material models, accurately capturing nonlinear plasticity and ductile damage while achieving resolution invariance and excellent parallel efficiency.

Learning Stiffness Dependent Fluid Structure Dynamics from Coarse Flow Representations

The paper presents a data‑driven framework that predicts long‑term fluid–structure interaction dynamics for a flexible plate undergoing flow‑induced vibration. It uses a stiffness‑conditioned neural evolution operator that jointly models the Eulerian flow field and the Lagrangian structural state, employing a hybrid CNN‑Transformer architecture with bidirectional cross‑attention. The operator accurately captures three stiffness‑dependent response regimes, preserves key flow and structural features over 1000‑step rollouts, and can interpolate to unseen stiffness values, while a differentiable aerodynamic‑force module based on derivative‑moment transformation enables accurate lift and drag reconstruction.
