This National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure award of $225,735 under the NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) aims to create and disseminate open-source benchmark datasets and resources focused on two broad classes of mechanical challenges: nonlinear material behavior (e.g., fracture of engineered composites) and nonlinear structural behavior (e.g., large deformation and buckling of engineered metamaterials). The award will also define and disseminate core challenge problems in areas such as full-field prediction for nonlinear mechanics, representation of complex geometries, mechanics-specific out-of-distribution generalization, and uncertainty quantification. Additionally, the project includes developing an "Open Access Mechanics Dataset Website and Educational Resource" to collate open-access mechanics datasets from the broader research community. This award supports NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support based on the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
