The elastic properties of materials derive from their electronic and atomic nature. However, simulating bulk materials fully at these scales is not feasible, so that typically homogenized continuum descriptions are used instead. A seamless and lossless transition of the constitutive description of the elastic response of materials between these two scales has been so far elusive. Here we show how this problem can be overcome by using Artificial Intelligence (AI). A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is trained, by taking the structure image of a nanoporous material as input and the corresponding elasticity tensor, calculated from Molecular Statics (MS), as output. Trained with the atomistic data, the CNN model captures the size- and pore-dependency of the materials elastic properties which, on the physics side, can stem from surfaces and non-local effects. Such effects are often ignored in upscaling from atomistic to classical continuum theory. To demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the trained CNN model, a Finite Element Method (FEM) based result of an elastically deformed nanoporous beam equipped with the CNN as constitutive law is compared with that by a full atomistic simulation. The good agreement between the atomistic simulations and the FEM-AI combination for a system with size and surface effects establishes a new lossless scale bridging approach to such problems. The trained CNN model deviates from the atomistic result by 9.6% for porosity scenarios of up to 90% but it is about 230 times faster than the MS calculation and does not require to change simulation methods between different scales. The efficiency of the CNN evaluation together with the preservation of important atomistic effects makes the trained model an effective atomistically-informed constitutive model for macroscopic simulations of nanoporous materials and solving of inverse problems.
