FFT-based surrogate modeling of auxetic metamaterials with real-time prediction of effective elastic properties and swift inverse design by Hooman Danesh, Daniele Di Lorenzo, Francisco Chinesta, Stefanie Reese, Tim Brepols

“…In this paper, the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based homogenization approach is adopted to efficiently generate data for developing surrogate models, bypassing concerns about periodic mesh generation and boundary conditions typically associated with the finite element method (FEM). Surrogate models are developed for the real-time prediction of the effective elastic properties of auxetic unit cells with orthogonal voids of different shapes. …”
