Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a promising framework for solving partial differential equations while embedding the underlying physical laws directly into the learning process. This study presents a PINN-based framework for modeling transient elastodynamic wave propagation in bimaterial systems governed by the axisymmetric equations of linear elasticity.

The paper introduces a differentiable finite element framework that discovers hyperelastic constitutive laws from limited experimental data, such as boundary-only displacement measurements and global reaction forces. By embedding the nonlinear finite element equilibrium problem into the learning loop, the method evaluates candidate strain‑energy densities through the deformation fields they produce, enforcing mechanical equilibrium as a constraint. The constitutive response is modeled with Hyperelastic Neural Networks, a structure‑preserving class that guarantees physical admissibility, including residual energy and stress‑free conditions, frame indifference, isotropic symmetry, polyconvexity, coercivity, and controlled volumetric growth. Numerical experiments in two and three dimensions show accurate recovery of hyperelastic isotropic responses, robustness to noise, and generalization across geometries, loading, and boundary conditions.

The paper introduces a variational, label‑free physics‑informed graph neural network (PI‑GNN) that models heterogeneous solid mechanics by embedding material heterogeneity into the discretization rather than the neural network’s trial field. The PI‑GNN operates on a conforming adaptive mesh graph, assigns constitutive behavior per element, and minimizes the discrete total potential energy without penalty terms or interface weights, yielding a discrete energy equivalent to the finite element Ritz functional. Across small‑strain elasticity and finite‑strain Neo‑Hookean hyperelasticity in 2D and 3D, the method achieves von Mises errors below 3.58 % over a wide stiffness‑contrast range, outperforming strong‑form PINNs and reducing displacement errors significantly.
