There are a wide variety of heterogeneous materials that exist in nature and many engineering application fields. The prediction of constitutive relation and strength of heterogeneous materials is one of the core topics of solid mechanice, which can not only provide guidance for the application of materials in the field of technology and engineering, but also accelerate the design and development of new composite materials. In order to deal with the great challenges brought by the complexity of heterogeneous materials, in this dissertation, we have proposed a series of deep learning methods based on the artificial intelligence theory to study the elastic constitutive relation and fracture strength of heterogeneous materials and explore the combinational optimization design of composite materials.Firstly, the effect of surface microstructures on the elastic properties of solid materials is investigated. The geometric and mechanical properties of surface microstructures are described in the form of images by feature engineering. Based on the deep learning method, a convolutional neural network that can accurately and effectively predict the surface elastic moduli of microstructured solids is proposed.Secondly, the relationship between the macroscopic elastic properties of composites with complex microstructures and the elastic properties and microstructures of their components is studied. Based on the deep learning method, a convolutional neural network that can accurately and efficiently predict the mechanical properties of composites containing inclusions of arbitrary number, size, shape, and properties is proposed. Aiming at the inverse problem of composites, a dual-input deep learning model that can extract the mechanical properties of each component from the microstructures and macroscopic elastic properties of composites is proposed. The influence of the structure of the deep learning model on the extraction performance and the generalization ability of the model are both studied.Then, the critical fracture failure behavior of brittle materials with microcracks is studied. Using the Kachanov method, a dataset of two-dimensional brittle specimens with microcracks and corresponding critical load factors under different far-field loads is constructed. A neural network model that can accurately and efficiently predict the critical load factor of brittle materials based on the far-field load and micro-crack distribution is proposed.Next, the relationship between microstructure characteristics and macroscopic mechanical properties of brick–mortar structure of nacre is studied. A fully connected neural network that can effectively discover the relationship between the structural size and interface strength of brick–mortar structures of the nacre and its mechanical properties is proposed. With the help of feature engineering, a convolutional neural network is proposed that can make full use of the spatial position relations between brick–mortar structures. Based on this convolutional neural network model, the size effect of brick–mortar structure of the nacre is studied.Finally, the combined optimization design problem of multiple mechanical properties of two-dimensional composites is studied. The type I fracture process of composites is simulated by the crack phase-field method. Based on the deep learning method, a convolutional neural network model that can accurately and efficiently predict the strength and toughness of composites from their geometric structures is proposed. Combining genetic algorithm and convolutional neural network model, the combined optimization design problem of strength and toughness of composites is studied.
