We present a new data-driven paradigm for variational brittle fracture mechanics. The fracture-related material modeling assumptions are removed and the governing equations stemming from variational principles are combined with a set of discrete data points, leading to a model-free data-driven method of solution. The solution at a given load step is identified as the point within the data set that best satisfies either the Kuhn-Tucker conditions stemming from the variational fracture problem or global minimization of a suitable energy functional, leading to data-driven counterparts of both the local and the global minimization approaches of variational fracture mechanics. Both formulations are tested on different test configurations with and without noise and for Griffith and R-curve type fracture behavior.

We extend the model-free data-driven paradigm for rate-independent fracture mechanics proposed in Carrara et al. (2020), Data-driven Fracture Mechanics, Comp. Meth. App. Mech. Eng., 372 to rate-dependent fracture and sub-critical fatigue. The problem is formulated by combining the balance governing equations stemming from variational principles with a set of data points that encodes the fracture constitutive behavior of the material. The solution is found as the data point that best satisfies the meta-stability condition as given by the variational procedure and following a distance minimization approach based on closest-point-projection. The approach is tested on different setups adopting different types of rate-dependent fracture and fatigue models affected or not by white noise.
The data-driven computing paradigm initially introduced by Kirchdoerfer and Ortiz (2016) enables finite element computations in solid mechanics to be performed directly from material data sets, without an explicit material model. From a computational effort point of view, the most challenging task is the projection of admissible states at material points onto their closest states in the material data set. In this study, we compare and develop several possible data structures for solving the nearest-neighbor problem. We show that approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) algorithms can accelerate material data searches by several orders of magnitude relative to exact searching algorithms. The approximations are suggested by--and adapted to--the structure of the data-driven iterative solver and result in no significant loss of solution accuracy. We assess the performance of the ANN algorithm with respect to material data set size with the aid of a 3D elasticity test case. We show that computations on a single processor with up to one billion material data points are feasible within a few seconds execution time with a speedup of more than 106 with respect to exact k-d trees.

A new quantum action-based theory, Dynamic Quantized Fracture Mechanics (DQFM), is presented that modifies continuum-based dynamic fracture mechanics. The crack propagation is assumed as quantized in both space and time. The static limit case corresp onds to Quantized Fracture Mechanics (QFM), that we have recently developed to predict the strength of nanostructures.
A new gradient-based formulation for predicting fracture in elastic-plastic solids is presented. Damage is captured by means of a phase field model that considers both the elastic and plastic works as driving forces for fracture. Material deformation is characterised by a mechanism-based strain gradient constitutive model. This non-local plastic-damage formulation is numerically implemented and used to simulate fracture in several paradigmatic boundary value problems. The case studies aim at shedding light into the role of the plastic and fracture length scales. It is found that the role of plastic strain gradients is two-fold. When dealing with sharp defects like cracks, plastic strain gradients elevate local stresses and facilitate fracture. However, in the presence of non-sharp defects failure is driven by the localisation of plastic flow, which is delayed due to the additional work hardening introduced by plastic strain gradients.
In chemical process engineering, surrogate models of complex systems are often necessary for tasks of domain exploration, sensitivity analysis of the design parameters, and optimization. A suite of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations geare d toward chemical process equipment modeling has been developed and validated with experimental results from the literature. Various regression-based active learning strategies are explored with these CFD simulators in-the-loop under the constraints of a limited function evaluation budget. Specifically, five different sampling strategies and five regression techniques are compared, considering a set of four test cases of industrial significance and varying complexity. Gaussian process regression was observed to have a consistently good performance for these applications. The present quantitative study outlines the pros and cons of the different available techniques and highlights the best practices for their adoption. The test cases and tools are available with an open-source license to ensure reproducibility and engage the wider research community in contributing to both the CFD models and developing and benchmarking new improved algorithms tailored to this field.
