Machine Learning Surrogate Modeling for Homogenization of Hyperelastic Materials with Boolean Microstructures

arXiv:2606.00938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-driven surrogate models are an alternative to numerical homogenization of heterogeneous materials. In this contribution, a supervised learning approach is presented for predicting effective Lam\'e parameters of hyperelastic composites from low-dimensional microstructural descriptors. The data set is based on previously published numerical homogenization results for ensembles of two-phase stochastic microstructures generated by planar Boolean models, covering variations of inclusion shape, phase contrast, and area fraction; see Br\"andel, B
