contents Design and analysis of inelastic materials requires prediction of physical responses that evolve under loading. Numerical simulation of such behavior using finite element (FE) approaches can call for significant time and computational effort. To address this challenge, this paper demonstrates a deep learning (DL) framework that is capable of predicting micro-scale elasto-plastic strains and stresses in a two-phase medium, at a much greater speed than traditional FE simulations. The proposed framework uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), specifically a U-Net architecture with 3D operations, to map the composite microstructure to the corresponding stress and strain fields under a predetermined load path. In particular, the model is applied to a two-phase fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite microstructure subjected to a given loading-unloading path, predicting the corresponding stress and strain fields at discrete intermediate load steps. A novel two-step training approach provides more accurate predictions of stress, by first training the model to predict strain fields and then using those strain fields as input to the model that predicts the stress fields. This efficient data-driven approach enables accurate prediction of physical fields in inelastic materials, based solely on microstructure images and loading information.
