Automatic-Differentiation-Enabled Finite Element Model Updating: Learning Constitutive Neural Networks from Structural Deformation Data
arXiv:2606.05199v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The identification of constitutive neural network models from heterogeneous full-field deformation data provides a robust alternative to traditional calibration methods based on homogeneous stress-strain experiments, particularly given the high dimensionality of trainable parameters. This work presents ADE-FEMU (Automatic-Differentiation-Enabled Finite Element Model Updating), an end-to-end differentiable framework that integrates a cons…
