Abstract: We present a new approach for predictive modeling and its uncertainty quantification for mechanical systems, where coarse-grained models such as constitutive relations are derived directly from observation data. We explore the use of a neural network to represent the unknown constitutive relations, compare the neural networks with piecewise linear functions, radial basis functions, and radial basis function networks, and show that the neural network outperforms the others in certain cases. We analyze the approximation error of the neural networks using a scaling argument. The training and predicting processes in our framework combine the finite element method, automatic differentiation, and neural networks (or other function approximators). Our framework also allows uncertainty quantification in the form of confidence intervals. Numerical examples on a multiscale fiber-reinforced plate problem and a nonlinear rubbery membrane problem from solid mechanics demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
