Abstract Scope |
Relating the role of the microstructure to mechanical properties of nanoporous (NP) materials is a complicated problem. Deep Learning methods have shown strong performance in the mechanical design of materials by providing high learning capability. In this study, a deep learning approach is designed to model an elastic homogenization structure-property relationship of NP materials. Our model predicts the stiffness of the NP structure with a wide range of microstructures while exhibiting high accuracy and low computational cost. The main drawback of deep learning algorithms is poor interpretability. Thus, a novel interpretation method is developed to unravel the salient features of the microstructure that lead to better stiffness. Our interpretation method identifies the effective microstructure parameters that strongly impact stiffness, including surface area, dangling ligaments, and connectivity. Our interpretative deep learning framework can be transferred to build other structure-property relationships such as chemo-mechanical properties of nanomaterials in the future. |
