Discovering Thermodynamically Admissible Dissipation Potentials via Grammar-Based Symbolic Regression
Constitutive laws for inelastic materials must satisfy strict thermodynamic admissibility requirements, yet current data-driven approaches sacrifice interpretability, even when formal guarantees are provided by physics-encoded architectures. We propose a symbolic regression framework for the data-driven discovery of dissipation potentials governing the evolution of internal variables within the Generalized Standard Materials (GSM) formalism. Starting from the Clausius--Duhem inequality, we enforce the thermodynamic requirements, convexity and non-negativity, that the dual dissipation potential must satisfy to guarantee non-negative mechanical dissipation. These requirements are formulated in the general subdifferential setting, encompassing rate-dependent (viscoelastic) and viscoplastic dissipative mechanisms, including potentials with genuine elastic domains, within a unified framework. Candidate potentials are generated by a composition-extended convexity-preserving grammar that guarantees thermodynamic admissibility \emph{by construction}. The framework is validated on synthetic datasets spanning Newtonian, power-law, and Bingham viscoplastic ground truths under process and measurement noise, and on experimental oscillatory shear measurements of a synthetic elastomer across multiple strain amplitudes and frequencies, where the discovered potentials reproduce the amplitude-dependent softening of the dynamic moduli and outperform a calibrated linear Zener baseline.
