Developing appropriate analytic-function-based constitutive models for new materials with nonlinear mechanical behavior is demanding. For such kinds of materials, it is more challenging to realize the integrated design from the collection of the material experiment under the classical topology optimization framework based on constitutive models. The present work proposes a mechanistic-based data-driven topology optimization (DDTO) framework for three-dimensional continuum structures under finite deformation. In the DDTO framework, with the help of neural networks and explicit topology optimization method, the optimal design of the three-dimensional continuum structures under finite deformation is implemented only using the uniaxial and equi-biaxial experimental data. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the data-driven topology optimization approach, which paves the way for the optimal design of continuum structures composed of novel materials without available constitutive relations.
