The paper introduces ADAPT, a lightweight machine‑learning force field that replaces graph neural networks with a direct coordinates‑in‑space Transformer encoder to model all pairwise atomic interactions. Applied to silicon point defects, ADAPT reduces force prediction error by about 22% and energy prediction error by roughly 40% compared to a state‑of‑the‑art GNN model, while also cutting computational cost. This approach addresses common GNN issues such as oversmoothing, oversquashing, and poor long‑range interaction representation, which are especially problematic for point defect modeling.

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 the Constitutive Parameterized Deep Energy Method (CPDEM), a physics‑driven neural network that embeds stochastic material parameters directly into the strain energy density functional. By training via expected energy minimization over the parameter domain, CPDEM learns a continuous solution manifold, enabling zero‑shot, real‑time inference of displacement fields for any material parameters without retraining or dataset generation. The method is validated on linear elasticity, finite‑strain hyperelasticity, and highly nonlinear contact mechanics, marking the first purely physics‑driven deep learning approach that efficiently handles continuous multi‑parameter variations in solid mechanics.

The paper introduces Thermodynamically Consistent Latent Dynamics Identification (tLaSDI) using parametric GENERIC Formalism-Informed Neural Networks (pGFINNs) to predict fracture patterns and evolution in heterogeneous materials. By embedding thermodynamic principles—such as total energy conservation and entropy generation—directly into the neural network architecture, the model operates in a lower‑dimensional latent space and maintains thermodynamic consistency on unseen data. A Geometry‑Conditioned Autoencoder further enhances geometry‑guided learning, and results show that tLaSDI‑pGFINNs outperform a purely data‑driven AE‑LSTM model in accurately capturing fracture behavior.

Industrial design in fields such as vehicle and aerospace engineering often relies on large-scale numerical simulations to evaluate fluid dynamics performance, which can incur substantial computational costs. Deep neural networks have shown promise in improving simulation efficiency, especially graph neural networks (GNNs), which demonstrate great potential due to their flexibility with unstructured data.
