- 요약Predicting the behavior of physical systems under complex loading conditions remains a central challenge in engineering and the applied sciences. In solid mechanics, accurate prediction requires not only knowledge of the governing physical laws but also appropriate constitutive models that describe material behavior. These constitutive models are parameterized functions typically obtained through material characterization techniques. However, traditional techniques have limited applicability due to their reliance on challenging experiments designed to produce homogeneous fields, especially for complex materials.First, we propose a method to accurately and efficiently identify the constitutive behavior of complex materials from full-field observations. We formulate the problem of inferring constitutive relations as an indirect inverse problem constrained by the balance laws. Specifically, we seek a constitutive relation that minimizes the difference between experimental observations and model predictions while strictly enforcing physical laws. The forward problem is posed as a boundary value problem corresponding to the experiment, and sensitivities are computed using the adjoint method. The resulting framework is robust and applicable to constitutive models of arbitrary complexity. We focus on elasto-viscoplasticity and demonstrate the method using synthetic data on two problems, one quasistatic and the other dynamic.We then extend this methodology to infer constitutive parameters from experimental dynamic contact data, where challenges such as noise, incomplete information, and model-form uncertainties complicate inversion. Using force-depth measurements from split Hopkinson pressure bar experiments on steel and aluminum samples, and incorporating regularization techniques to mitigate illposedness, the framework robustly recovers material properties. Results show the successful extraction of meaningful parameters, highlighting the method's effectiveness over traditional direct inversion approaches, particularly for nonlinear models.A key limitation of the proposed method is its reliance on a pre-specified form of the constitutive model. The choice of such forms becomes harder with the evergrowing catalog of materials. To address this, we develop a neural network-based framework where the constitutive relation emerges directly from data. Using a recurrent neural operator to model history-dependent behavior with internal variables, we demonstrate on synthetic high strain rate compression experiments that this approach significantly outperforms traditional models in capturing path-dependent material responses. Therefore, this proves that neural networks can be powerful tools for constitutive modeling.Building on the ability of neural networks to approximate complex functions, we further explore their use in approximating solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs). In following study, we investigate neural operators for multiscale modeling of elliptic PDEs, focusing on learning effective macroscopic behavior from complex microstructures without repeatedly solving finescale problems. Targeting the classical homogenization setting of linear elliptic PDEs with discontinuous coefficients, we analyze the challenges posed by sharp interfaces and degraded solution regularity. We provide theoretical guarantees on approximation capabilities and demonstrate the method across various representative microstructures, showing that neural operator-based homogenization offers a scalable and non-intrusive approach to multiscale modeling.Finally, in the last study, we extend these data-driven tools to topology optimization, where the need for numerous PDE solves presents a major computational bottleneck. By integrating a reduced-order PCA-based neural network into the optimization loop, we represent complex structures in a lowdimensional latent space and achieve efficient, high-quality updates. This approach significantly accelerates optimization while preserving design flexibility, highlighting the potential of machine learning to enhance and transform classical design methodologies.Together, these contributions present a unified strategy that integrates physicsbased modeling, machine learning, and optimization to advance material characterization, multiscale modeling, and design in solid mechanics.
