AbstractWe propose and implement a computational procedure to establish data-driven surrogate constitutive models for heterogeneous materials. We study the multiaxial response of non-linear n-phase composites via Finite Element (FE) simulations and computational homogenisation. Pseudo-random, multiaxial, non-proportional histories of macroscopic strain are imposed on volume elements of n-phase composites, subject to periodic boundary conditions, and the corresponding histories of macroscopic stresses and plastically dissipated energy are recorded. The recorded data is used to train surrogate, phenomenological constitutive models based on neural networks (NNs), and the accuracy of these models is assessed and discussed. We analyse heterogeneous composites with hyperelastic, viscoelastic or elastic–plastic local constitutive descriptions. In each of these three cases, we propose and assess optimal choices of inputs and outputs for the surrogate models and strategies for their training. We find that the proposed computational procedure can capture accurately and effectively the response of non-linear n-phase composites subject to arbitrary mechanical loading.

Abstract This study analysed groundwater productivity potential (GPP) using three different models in a geographic information system (GIS) for Okcheon city, Korea. Specifically, we have used variety topography factors in this study. The models were based on relationships between groundwater productivity (for specific capacity (SPC) and transmissivity (T)) and hydrogeological factors. Topography, geology, lineament, land-use and soil data were first collected, processed and entered into the spatial database. T and SPC data were collected from 86 well locations. The resulting GPP map has been validated in under the curve analysis area using well data not used for model training. The GPP maps using artificial neural network (ANN), frequency ratio (FR) and evidential belief function (EBF) models for T had accuracies of 82.19%, 81.15% and 80.40%, respectively. Similarly, the ANN, FR and EBF models for SPC had accuracies of 81.67%, 81.36% and 79.89%, respectively. The results illustrate that ANN models can be useful for the development of groundwater resources.

Abstract This paper discusses and compares the potential application of the evidential belief function model and fuzzy logic inference system technique for spatial delineation of a groundwater artesian zone boundary in an arid region of central Iraq. First, a flowing well inventory of a total of 93 perennial flowing wells was constructed and randomly partitioned into two data sets: 70% (65 wells) for training and 30% (28 wells) for validation. Twelve groundwater conditioning factors were considered in the geospatial analysis depending on data availability and literature review. The random forest (RF) algorithm was first applied to investigate the most important conditioning factors in groundwater potential analysis. The most important factors with training flowing wells were used to develop predictive models. The prediction accuracy of the developed models was checked using the area under the relative operating characteristic curve. Results showed that the best model with a higher prediction accuracy of 86% was a fuzzy AND model followed by the evidential model with 84%. The main conclusion of this study is that the integrated use of the adapted models with RF offer a rapid assessment tool in groundwater exploration and can be helpful in groundwater management.
