MS003 - Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Surrogate Models in Continuum Mechanics
Keywords: CFD, engineering design, neural operators, PINNs
As digital twins become increasingly integral to engineering design, there is a growing
demand for computational models that are capable of predicting complex physical
systems both accurately and efficiently, at best, in real-time. This mini-symposium is
dedicated to exploring the role of Physics-Informed Machine Learning methods—such
as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs [1, 2]) and neural operators [3, 4]—in the
creation of surrogate models specifically designed for digital twins in continuum
mechanics.
The focus will be on how these machine learning techniques can address real-world engineering challenges in fluid and structural mechanics, and how they can be integrated with and enhance established numerical methods such as finite element and isogeometric analysis. Key topics include innovations in model training and network architecture, improvements in computational efficiency, and advancements in managing geometrically complex domains.
We invite contributions that demonstrate practical applications of these methods for developing and refining surrogate models. Additionally, we encourage submissions that provide solutions for reducing training times, improving computational efficiency, and handling complex geometries within digital twin environments.
