Finite Element-Based Material Learning via Automatic Differentiation: Learning constitutive neural network models from full-field deformation data

arXiv:2606. 05199v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The identification of constitutive neural network models from heterogeneous full-field deformation data provides a robust alternative to traditional calibration methods based on homogeneous stress-strain experiments, particularly given the high dimensionality of trainable parameters.

Adjoint Method versus Physics-Informed Neural Networks in PDE-Constrained Inverse Problems

arXiv:2606. 12337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to computational mechanics and are commonly solved by adjoint-based optimization, while physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a flexible alternative.

Wall Shear Stress Reconstruction from Concentration: Differentiable Physics and Physics-Informed Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 06313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wall shear stress (WSS) governs near-wall transport dynamics and is a key hemodynamic indicator in cardiovascular flows, yet remains difficult to infer accurately due to the need for precise computation of near-wall velocity gradients.

Probabilistic Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Estimating Heterogeneous Elastic Properties from Low-Resolution and Noisy Displacement Data

arXiv:2607. 14563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating spatially heterogeneous elastic properties from low-resolution displacement measurements is a severely ill-posed inverse elasticity problem because low resolution obscures spatial details needed to distinguish heterogeneous property variations, and small measurement perturbations or fitting errors are amplified through inverse estimation.

Functional-prior-based approaches to Bayesian PDE-constrained inversion using physics-informed neural networks

arXiv:2605. 07060v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a mesh-free framework for solving PDE-constrained inverse problems, but their extension to Bayesian inversion still faces a fundamental difficulty: prior distributions are typically defined in the weight space of neural networks, whereas physically meaningful prior assumptions are more naturally expressed in function space.
