Introducing sustainable neuromorphic computing in Engineering Mechanics

Abstract We introduce a sustainable neuromorphic approach for numerical simulations in Engineering Mechanics. The finite element method (FEM) is widely used in engineering design; however, worldwide, there is no neuromorphic technology available in mechanics, even though the need for computational capacity with complex mechanical models is increasing 1 . AI-enhanced engineering approaches, such as agent-based models 2 , intensify the high energy demand coupled to CO 2 emissions 3,4 . However, th
