Lanyon demonstrated an AI agent that autonomously discovers and verifies new models and algorithms for continuum mechanics.
- Demo: simulating a high-energy copper projectile impact on an elastoplastic plate, including the resulting damage profile. The discovered model matches the experimental effective plastic strain within 5%.
- The full pipeline — model discovery, formal verification, software implementation, and numerical simulation — was completed from a single prompt in under 5 minutes.
