    A generalized dual potential for inelastic Constitutive Artificial Neural Networks: a JAX implementation at finite strains
    (Elsevier, 2026-01) ; ; ;
    We present a methodology for designing a generalized dual potential, or pseudo potential, for inelastic Constitutive Artificial Neural Networks (iCANNs). This potential, expressed in terms of stress invariants, inherently satisfies thermodynamic consistency for large deformations. In comparison to our previous work, the new potential captures a broader spectrum of material behaviors, including pressure-sensitive inelasticity. To this end, we revisit the underlying thermodynamic framework of iCANNs for finite strain inelasticity and derive conditions for constructing a convex, zero-valued, and non-negative dual potential. To embed these principles in a neural network, we detail the architecture's design, ensuring a priori compliance with thermodynamics. To evaluate the proposed architecture, we study its performance and limitations discovering visco-elastic material behavior, though the method is not limited to visco-elasticity. In this context, we investigate different aspects in the strategy of discovering inelastic materials. Our results indicate that the novel architecture robustly discovers interpretable models and parameters, while autonomously revealing the degree of inelasticity. The iCANN framework, implemented in JAX, is publicly accessible at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14894687.

    Automated model discovery for tensional homeostasis: Constitutive machine learning in growth and remodeling
    (Elsevier, 2025-03-01) ; ; ;
    We present a built-in physics neural network architecture, known as inelastic Constitutive Artificial Neural Network (iCANN), to discover the inelastic phenomenon of tensional homeostasis. In this course, identifying the optimal model and material parameters to accurately capture the macroscopic behavior of inelastic materials can only be accomplished with significant expertise, is often time-consuming, and prone to error, regardless of the specific inelastic phenomenon. To address this challenge, built-in physics machine learning algorithms offer significant potential. We introduce the incorporation of kinematic growth and homeostatic surfaces into the iCANN to discover the Helmholtz free energy and the pseudo potential. The latter describes the state of homeostasis in a smeared sense. To this end, we additionally propose a novel design of the corresponding feed-forward network in terms of principal stresses. We evaluate the ability of the proposed network to learn from experimentally obtained tissue equivalent data at the material point level, assess its predictive accuracy beyond the training regime, and discuss its current limitations when applied at the structural level. Our source code, data, examples, and an implementation of the corresponding material subroutine are made accessible to the public at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13946282.
