Abstract: Data-Driven Computational Mechanics is a novel computing paradigm that enables the transition from standard data-starved approaches to modern data-rich approaches. At this early stage of development, one can distinguish two mainstream directions. The first one relies on a discrete-continuous optimization problem and seeks to assign to each material point a point in the phase space that satisfies compatibility and equilibrium, while being closest to the data set provided. The second one is a data driven inverse approach that seeks to reconstruct a constitutive manifold from data sets by manifold learning techniques, relying on a well-defined functional structure of the underlying constitutive law. In this work, we propose a third route that combines the strengths of the two existing directions and mitigates some of their weaknesses. This is achieved by the formulation of an approximate nonlinear optimization problem, which can be robustly solved, is computationally efficient, and does not rely on any special functional structure of the reconstructed constitutive manifold. Additional benefits include the natural incorporation of kinematic constraints and the possibility to operate with implicitly defined stress-strain relations. We discuss important mathematical aspects of our approach for a data-driven truss element and investigate its key numerical behavior for a data-driven beam element that makes use of all components of our methodology.
