Data-driven inverse design of metastructures for tailored quasi-zero-stiffness performance
摘要
Quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) metastructures are promising for low-frequency vibration isolation in precision instruments and aerospace applications, but their inherent nonlinearities make tailoring performance with conventional methods difficult. This paper proposes a data-driven inverse design framework combining a backpropagation neural network with a genetic algorithm. A dataset of 1000 finite element simulations was generated by varying the geometric parameters of the metastructure. The neural network was trained to map these parameters to tangent stiffness and load capacity, and was then coupled with the genetic algorithm to inversely derive geometric configurations that meet target specifications. The neural network achieved excellent predictive accuracy (
