Sinter-PiNDiff is a retrainable physics‑integrated neural differentiable framework that predicts density and grain‑size evolution during sintering. It uses two neural networks to learn densification and grain‑growth coefficients within coupled rate equations, and a smooth saturation factor to limit densification near theoretical density. When trained on published data for MgO, Al‑doped ZnO, and CaO‑doped ThO₂, the model achieved the lowest mean errors across twelve material‑metric comparisons compared to multilayer perceptron and residual network baselines, demonstrating the importance of density‑dependent kinetic feedback and providing uncertainty estimates via deep ensembles.

The article explores physics-informed and hybrid machine learning approaches for predicting bond quality and porosity in fused filament fabrication (FFF) parts. It examines three strategies—embedding physics constraints in the loss function, adding physics model outputs as inputs, and pre‑training with physics data—to enforce consistency with physical laws. Eight combinations of these strategies are tested, showing that integrating multiple approaches yields accurate predictions even with limited experimental data.

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.
arXiv:2604. 27775v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Shallow nanoindentation enables mechanical characterization of thin films, individual phases, and other volume-constrained materials, but the measured hardness is inflated by the indentation size effect (ISE).
