Analyses of internal structures and defects in materials using physics-informed neural networks
利用物理信息神经网络分析材料内部结构和缺陷
Characterizing internal structures and defects in materials is a challenging task, often requiring solutions to inverse problems with unknown topology, geometry, material properties, and nonlinear deformation.
描述材料内部结构和缺陷是一项具有挑战性的任务，通常需要解决未知拓扑、几何、材料属性和非线性变形的反问题。
Here, we present a general framework based on physics-informed neural networks for identifying unknown geometric and material parameters.
在这里，我们提出了一个基于物理信息神经网络的通用框架，用于识别未知的几何和材料参数。
By using a mesh-free method, we parameterize the geometry of the material using a differentiable and trainable method that can identify multiple structural features.
通过使用一种无网格方法，我们使用一种可微分和可训练的方法来参数化材料的几何结构，该方法可以识别多个结构特征。
We validate this approach for materials with internal voids/inclusions using constitutive models that encompass the spectrum of linear elasticity, hyperelasticity, and plasticity.
我们使用包含线弹性、超弹性和塑性谱的本构模型，验证了这种方法对于含有内部空洞/夹杂物的材料。
We predict the size, shape, and location of the internal void/inclusion as well as the elastic modulus of the inclusion.
我们预测了内部空洞/夹杂物的尺寸、形状和位置，以及夹杂物的弹性模量。
Our general framework can be applied to other inverse problems in different applications that involve unknown material properties and highly deformable geometries, targeting material characterization, quality assurance, and structural design.
我们的通用框架可以应用于涉及未知材料特性和高度可变形几何的不同应用中的其他反问题，针对材料特性、质量保证和结构设计。

Deep learning approaches play an increasingly substantial role in a wide range of technologies that benefit computer vision, natural language processing, and other data-rich areas of societal interest.
深度学习方法在广泛的技术领域发挥着越来越重要的作用，这些技术有利于计算机视觉、自然语言处理和其他社会感兴趣的数据丰富的领域。
Despite the evolving sophistication of data analytics and neural networks (NNs), much of this work to date has not been predicated on a large volume of scientific data, through which predictive models can be constructed using experimentally validated mechanistic inferences and laws of physics.
尽管数据分析和神经网络(NNs)的复杂性不断发展，但迄今为止，这些工作中的大部分都不是基于大量的科学数据，通过这些数据，可以使用实验验证的机械推理和物理定律来构建预测模型。
In most scientific applications, by contrast, physical conservation laws (such as those for momentum and energy) are framed by highly general, mathematical formulations [e.g., those invoking partial differential equations (PDEs) in areas such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and material diffusion], along with experimental authentication by recourse to laboratory tests.
相比之下，在大多数科学应用中，物理守恒定律(如动量和能量守恒定律)是由高度通用的数学公式(例如，在固体力学、流体力学和材料扩散等领域引用偏微分方程(PDEs))以及借助实验室测试的实验验证来构建的。

Emerging research reveals the profound untapped potential of physics-based, multidisciplinary, deep learning approaches with unprecedented opportunities for scientific and engineering advances in molecular analysis, design of materials with improved properties and performance in structural and functional applications, and unique pathways for the characterization of properties of materials.
新兴的研究揭示了基于物理学的多学科深度学习方法的巨大潜力，为分子分析的科学和工程进步、在结构和功能应用中改进性能和性能的材料设计以及材料性能表征的独特途径带来了前所未有的机遇。
To further realize this potential, broadly applicable methodologies in the area of NNs are needed to address a variety of issues that underpin deep learning analyses, governed by physical laws and guided by mathematical formulations.
为了进一步实现这一潜力，需要在神经网络（NNs）领域采用广泛适用的方法来解决各种问题，这些问题是深入学习分析的基础，受物理定律的制约，并以数学公式为指导。
To this end, a physics-informed deep learning approach has recently been proposed for the simulation of systems governed by physical laws that are represented by PDEs.

While traditional methods based on deep learning implicitly encode these formulations by feeding training data governed by equations, this approach explicitly encodes known physical or scaling laws in the form of mathematical equations into the standard structure of NNs, formulating the so-called physics-informed NNs (PINNs).
传统的基于深度学习的方法通过输入由方程控制的训练数据来隐式编码这些公式，而该方法明确地将已知的物理或标度定律以数学方程的形式编码到神经网络的标准结构中，形成所谓的物理通知神经网络(PINNs)。
Such an approach integrates any existing knowledge expressible in terms of PDEs during the learning process, thereby markedly improving predictability while reducing the amount of data required to achieve a desired level of accuracy.
这种方法在学习过程中综合了任何可用偏微分方程表示的现有知识，从而大大提高了可预测性，同时减少了达到所需准确度水平所需的数据量。
Studies have shown the applicability of PINNs in addressing a wide spectrum of forward and inverse problems spanning disciplines such as fluid mechanics, quantum mechanics, and solid mechanics.

Here, we address geometry identification problems in the field of continuum solid mechanics.
在这里，我们讨论了连续介质固体力学领域中的几何识别问题。
Geometry identification problems are a class of inverse problems of scientific, technological, and societal interest in fields as diverse as the following: safety and failure analysis of civil, mechanical, nuclear, and aeronautical structures; land, sea, and air transportations; reliability analysis in microelectronic devices; nondestructive testing of materials; and processing of engineered materials.
几何识别问题是一类涉及科学、技术和社会利益的反问题，涉及以下领域：民用、机械、核和航空结构的安全和失效分析；陆、海、空运输；微电子器件可靠性分析；材料的无损检测；以及工程材料的加工。
In a geometry identification problem, the unknown geometric features and parameters are determined in a solid material/structure given measured material response under static or dynamic loading, thereby characterizing unknown structures including internal defects or boundaries such as voids, vacancies or holes, inclusions and reinforcements, and/or cracks.
在几何识别问题中，给定静态或动态载荷下测量的材料响应，在固体材料/结构中确定未知的几何特征和参数，从而表征未知的结构，包括内部缺陷或边界，例如空隙、空位或洞、夹杂物和增强物、和/或裂纹。
Traditionally, computational algorithms for geometry identification are established on the basis of the finite element method (FEM) as the forward solver.
传统上，几何识别的计算算法是基于有限元法（FEM）作为正向求解器建立的。
Beyond the forward solver, considerable effort is required for the design and implementation of iterative algorithms for updating the estimated values of geometric parameters (see section S1 for a brief review of the algorithms), through which the discrepancy (loss) between the observed data and the results of the forward solver is minimized.
除了正向解算器，还需要花费大量精力来设计和实施迭代算法，以更新几何参数的估计值（参见第S1节对算法的简要回顾），从而将观测数据和正向解算器结果之间的差异（损失）降至最低。
However, the embedded forward FEM solver as a mesh-based method inherently brings about complications in these algorithms. The estimated geometry is updated by repeatedly remeshing the domain through iterations.
然而，嵌入式前向有限元求解器作为一种基于网格的方法固有地带来了这些算法的复杂性。通过迭代对区域进行反复的网格重构，从而更新估计的几何形状。
Alternatively, the unknown domain is embedded in a larger fixed domain while introducing an auxiliary field to track the presence of material.
或者，在引入辅助场以跟踪材料存在的同时，将未知域嵌入更大的固定域中。
The problem becomes even more challenging when large deformations (i.e., geometric nonlinearity) and nonlinear mechanical properties (i.e., highly nonlinear constitutive behavior of the solid material) are involved.
当涉及到大变形(即几何非线性)和非线性力学特性(即固体材料的高度非线性本构行为)时，这个问题变得更加具有挑战性。
These issues are still not well resolved, and available methods are cumbersome and resource intensive for deriving automated solutions to such inverse problems involving unknown geometry.
这些问题仍然没有得到很好的解决，现有的方法对于推导此类涉及未知几何体的反问题的自动解决方案来说既繁琐又占用大量资源。

To demonstrate the efficacy of our method, we study a two-dimensional prototypical problem on a matrix-void/inclusion system as a proof of concept.
为了证明我们的方法的有效性，我们研究了一个关于基质-空隙/包含系统的二维原型问题作为概念的证明。
A square-shaped matrix material contains a void/inclusion with unknown geometry.

To characterize the location, size, and shape of the void/inclusion, we apply loading P0 on the matrix boundary and monitor the displacement response on the measurement points at the matrix boundary under such loading.
为了表征空隙/夹杂物的位置、尺寸和形状，我们在基体边界上施加载荷P0，并在这种载荷下监测基体边界上测量点的位移响应。

FIG. 1. General setup of the prototypical problem on geometry and material identification in this study.
We consider a plane-strain problem in the X1-X2 plane about a square-shaped matrix specimen Ωm with a void/inclusion Ωi. Displacements are measured on the outer boundary of the matrix when loading P0 is applied. The goal is to characterize the unknown geometry of the internal void/inclusion according to the measurement data. For the case of inclusion, material properties of the inclusion are also characterized.
