Residual fourier neural operator for thermochemical curing of compositesGengxiang Chen, Yingguang Li, Xu liu et al.
During the curing process of composites, the temperature history heavily determines the evolutions of the field of degree of cure as well as the residual stress, which will further influence the mechanical properties of composite, thus it is important to simulate the real temperature history to optimize the curing process of composites. Since thermochemical analysis using Finite Element (FE) simulations requires heavy computational loads and data-driven approaches suffer from the complexity of highdimensional mapping. This paper proposes a Residual Fourier Neural Operator (ResFNO) to establish the direct high-dimensional mapping from any given cure cycle to the corresponding temperature histories. By integrating domain knowledge into a time-resolution independent parameterized neural network, the mapping between cure cycles to temperature histories can be learned using limited number of labelled data. Besides, a novel Fourier residual mapping is designed based on mode decomposition to accelerate the training and boost the performance significantly. Several cases are carried out to evaluate the superior performance and generalizability of the proposed method comprehensively.

Solving Partial Differential Equations with Point Source Based on Physics-Informed Neural NetworksXiang Huang, Hongsheng Liu, Beiji Shi et al.
In recent years, deep learning technology has been used to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), among which the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) emerges to be a promising method for solving both forward and inverse PDE problems. PDEs with a point source that is expressed as a Dirac delta function in the governing equations are mathematical models of many physical processes. However, they cannot be solved directly by conventional PINNs method due to the singularity brought by the Dirac delta function. We propose a universal solution to tackle this problem with three novel techniques. Firstly the Dirac delta function is modeled as a continuous probability density function to eliminate the singularity; secondly a lower bound constrained uncertainty weighting algorithm is proposed to balance the PINNs losses between point source area and other areas; and thirdly a multi-scale deep neural network with periodic activation function is used to improve the accuracy and convergence speed of the PINNs method. We evaluate the proposed method with three representative PDEs, and the experimental results show that our method outperforms existing deep learning-based methods with respect to the accuracy, the efficiency and the versatility.
