AFT Neural Function Approximators for 1D Nonlinear Force Laws

The paper proposes using neural networks to replace the iterative force evaluation in the harmonic balance method for systems with nonlinear contacts and friction. These networks map displacement Fourier coefficients directly to nonlinear force coefficients and supply Jacobians via automatic differentiation, allowing the existing solver and continuation algorithms to remain unchanged. By learning individual nonlinear elements—such as cubic, unilateral, and Jenkins springs—under physics‑based nondimensionalization and phase normalization, a single trained network can handle a wide range of parameters, enabling a reusable library of nonlinear‑element surrogates for complex mechanical systems.

Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine: A Backpropagation-Free Neural Network with Fast Training for Nonlinear Differential Equations

The paper introduces the Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine (PI‑SCM), a backpropagation‑free neural network designed for solving nonlinear differential equations. By analytically evaluating local Jacobians, PI‑SCM linearizes the physical loss, enabling optimal weight determination through generalized linear least squares and avoiding iterative nonlinear optimization. The authors present a progressive algorithmic suite—PI‑SC‑I, PI‑SC‑II, and PI‑SC‑III—prove their universal approximation properties, and show through experiments that PI‑SCM achieves high‑fidelity predictions and parameter identification while accelerating training by orders of magnitude compared to standard PINNs.
