Rocciaa , Cristian G. Gebhardta a Geophysical Institute and Bergen Offshore Wind Centre, University of Bergen, Norway  \nAbstract  \nIn the last decade, data-driven computational mechanics (DDCM) has emerged as a novel paradigm in computational mechanics, enabling the direct use of constitutive data – such as stress-strain pairs obtained from experiments, without relying on ad-hoc material models and thereby avoiding information loss. In this work, we extend our data-driven solving strategy GO-ADM, which combines a greedy optimization algorithm with the alternating direction method (ADM), to the structural analysis of geometrically exact beams formulated using director-based kinematics. We discuss a data initialization strategy for nonlinear systems based on a conventional finite element analysis of the same structure using a prescribed constitutive model. The resulting discrete stress and strain fields, possibly obtained under multiple loading scenarios, may also be employed as artificial datasets for the subsequent data-driven computations. Furthermore, we investigate the thermomechanical consistency of both the dataset and the discrete solution, and propose a weak enforcement of this consistency in the latter via a penalty approach. Numerical examples involving single-and multi-member structures demonstrate that the proposed penalty term leads to thermomechanically consistent discrete stress and strain fields. Moreover, for the studied examples, the solving strategy GO-ADM yields a generally improved approximation of the globally optimal solution compared to the standard ADM-based direct solver.  \nKeywords: Geometrically exact beam, Data-driven computational mechanics, Alternating direction method, Discrete-continuous nonlinear optimization problems, Greedy optimization, Static structural analysis  \n1. Introduction  \nOver the last decade, data-driven computational mechanics (DDCM) has developed into an alternative computational framework that replaces the explicit constitutive relation with the direct use of experimental or synthetic material data. In its original form [1], also known as the direct DDCM, the method seeks stress and strain pairs from a given dataset which are closest to those satisfying equilibrium, compatibility, and prescribed boundary or initial conditions [1, 2] . This is essentially an optimization problem in which the objective is to minimize the distance between the  \n∗ Corresponding author  \nEmail addresses: [hoa.nguyen@uib.no](hoa.nguyen@uib.no) (Thi-Hoa Nguyen ), bruno.roccia@uib.no (Bruno A.

The solution strategy originally proposed in [1] is an alternating iterative procedure in which admissible mechanical states and nearest material data points are updated successively.
