About this paper

Vijay Kag, Venkatesh Gopinath

Kag and Gopinath at the Bosch Research and Technology Center developed Physics-informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for dynamic linear elasticity, capable of predicting full-field displacements and stresses from sparse data. Their PINN-based surrogate models achieved NRMSE errors in the order of 10 -3 to 10 -2 for unseen material parameters in 2D and 3D problems, reducing material identification computation time from 20 minutes (FEM) to seconds.

Key insights

  • PINNs can accurately predict full-field displacements and stresses in dynamic linear elasticity from very sparse boundary data, achieving NRMSE errors in the order of 10 -3 to 10 -4 for forward problems.
  • PINN-based surrogate models for material property estimation drastically reduce computation time from approximately 20 minutes (FEM) to seconds for predicting solutions with new material parameters in both 2D and 3D.
  • For inverse problems, accurate identification of unknown material parameters like Lamé constants requires careful selection of activation functions (e.g., sigmoid) for parameter mapping and proper treatment of boundary conditions.
