文摘Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs)have emerged as a promising class of scientific machine learning techniques that integrate governing physical laws into neural network training.Their ability to enforce differential equations,constitutive relations,and boundary conditions within the loss function provides a physically grounded alternative to traditional data-driven models,particularly for solid and structural mechanics,where data are often limited or noisy.This review offers a comprehensive assessment of recent developments in PINNs,combining bibliometric analysis,theoretical foundations,application-oriented insights,and methodological innovations.A biblio-metric survey indicates a rapid increase in publications on PINNs since 2018,with prominent research clusters focused on numerical methods,structural analysis,and forecasting.Building upon this trend,the review consolidates advance-ments across five principal application domains,including forward structural analysis,inverse modeling and parameter identification,structural and topology optimization,assessment of structural integrity,and manufacturing processes.These applications are propelled by substantial methodological advancements,encompassing rigorous enforcement of boundary conditions,modified loss functions,adaptive training,domain decomposition strategies,multi-fidelity and transfer learning approaches,as well as hybrid finite element–PINN integration.These advances address recurring challenges in solid mechanics,such as high-order governing equations,material heterogeneity,complex geometries,localized phenomena,and limited experimental data.Despite remaining challenges in computational cost,scalability,and experimental validation,PINNs are increasingly evolving into specialized,physics-aware tools for practical solid and structural mechanics applications.

文摘In this paper,a class of discontinuous Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with timevarying delays is considered.Firstly,under the extended Filippov differential inclusions framework,the problem of periodic solutions of the considered neural networks with more relaxed conditions imposed on the amplification functions is analyzed by using set-valued mapping and Kakutani's fixed point theorem,which has rarely been used to study such problem.Secondly,the fixed-time synchronization of the error system of the considered neural networks is also investigated by designing a novel control strategy,which can improve not only the previous ones with sign function greatly,but also can reduce the chattering phenomenon.Finally,two numerical examples are presented to further illustrate the validity of the obtained results.

文摘Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs),as a novel artificial intelligence method for solving partial differential equations,are applicable to solve both forward and inverse problems.This study evaluates the performance of PINNs in solving the temperature diffusion equation of the seawater across six scenarios,including forward and inverse problems under three different boundary conditions.Results demonstrate that PINNs achieved consistently higher accuracy with the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions compared to the Robin boundary condition for both forward and inverse problems.Inaccurate weighting of terms in the loss function can reduce model accuracy.Additionally,the sensitivity of model performance to the positioning of sampling points varied between different boundary conditions.In particular,the model under the Dirichlet boundary condition exhibited superior robustness to variations in point positions during the solutions of inverse problems.In contrast,for the Neumann and Robin boundary conditions,accuracy declines when points were sampled from identical positions or at the same time.Subsequently,the Argo observations were used to reconstruct the vertical diffusion of seawater temperature in the north-central Pacific for the applicability of PINNs in the real ocean.The PINNs successfully captured the vertical diffusion characteristics of seawater temperature,reflected the seasonal changes of vertical temperature under different topographic conditions,and revealed the influence of topography on the temperature diffusion coefficient.The PINNs were proved effective in solving the temperature diffusion equation of seawater with limited data,providing a promising technique for simulating or predicting ocean phenomena using sparse observations.

文摘critical for guiding treatment and improving patient outcomes.Traditional molecular subtyping via immuno-histochemistry(IHC)test is invasive,time-consuming,and may not fully represent tumor heterogeneity.This study proposes a non-invasive approach using digital mammography images and deep learning algorithm for classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes.Four pretrained models,including two Convolutional Neural Networks(MobileNet_V3_Large and VGG-16)and two Vision Transformers(ViT_B_16 and ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224)were fine-tuned to classify images into HER2-enriched,Luminal,Normal-like,and Triple Negative subtypes.Hyperparameter tuning,including learning rate adjustment and layer freezing strategies,was applied to optimize performance.Among the evaluated models,ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224 achieved the highest test accuracy(94.44%),with equally high precision,recall,and F1-score of 0.94,demonstrating excellent generalization.MobileNet_V3_Large achieved the same accuracy but showed less training stability.In contrast,VGG-16 recorded the lowest performance,indicating a limitation in its generalizability for this classification task.The study also highlighted the superior performance of the Vision Transformer models over CNNs,particularly due to their ability to capture global contextual features and the benefit of CLIP-based pretraining in ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224.To enhance clinical applicability,a graphical user interface(GUI)named“BCMS Dx”was developed for streamlined subtype prediction.Deep learning applied to mammography has proven effective for accurate and non-invasive molecular subtyping.The proposed Vision Transformer-based model and supporting GUI offer a promising direction for augmenting diagnostic workflows,minimizing the need for invasive procedures,and advancing personalized breast cancer management.

文摘Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs)have been shown as powerful tools for solving partial differential equations(PDEs)by embedding physical laws into the network training.Despite their remarkable results,complicated problems such as irregular boundary conditions(BCs)and discontinuous or high-frequency behaviors remain persistent challenges for PINNs.For these reasons,we propose a novel two-phase framework,where a neural network is first trained to represent shape functions that can capture the irregularity of BCs in the first phase,and then these neural network-based shape functions are used to construct boundary shape functions(BSFs)that exactly satisfy both essential and natural BCs in PINNs in the second phase.This scheme is integrated into both the strong-form and energy PINN approaches,thereby improving the quality of solution prediction in the cases of irregular BCs.In addition,this study examines the benefits and limitations of these approaches in handling discontinuous and high-frequency problems.Overall,our method offers a unified and flexible solution framework that addresses key limitations of existing PINN methods with higher accuracy and stability for general PDE problems in solid mechanics.

文摘This study proposes a novel forecasting framework that simultaneously captures the strong periodicity and irregular meteorological fluctuations inherent in solar radiation time series.Existing approaches typically define inter-regional correlations using either simple correlation coefficients or distance-based measures when applying spatio-temporal graph neural networks(STGNNs).However,such definitions are prone to generating spurious correlations due to the dominance of periodic structures.To address this limitation,we adopt the Elastic-Band Transform(EBT)to decompose solar radiation into periodic and amplitude-modulated components,which are then modeled independently with separate graph neural networks.The periodic component,characterized by strong nationwide correlations,is learned with a relatively simple architecture,whereas the amplitude-modulated component is modeled with more complex STGNNs that capture climatological similarities between regions.The predictions from the two components are subsequently recombined to yield final forecasts that integrate both periodic patterns and aperiodic variability.The proposed framework is validated with multiple STGNN architectures,and experimental results demonstrate improved predictive accuracy and interpretability compared to conventional methods.
文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is increasing globally,with risk factors still poorly understood and influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.The role of atmospheric pollutants,particularly precursor organic pollutants contributing to<2.5μm size particulate matter(PM_(2.5)),remains unclear.In this multi-decadal global study,we investigated their contribution to IBD prevalence using data from the Global Burden of Disease(GBD,1990–2019),NASA’s MERRA-2,and AERONET datasets.A graph neural network(GNN)modeled spatio-temporal dependencies and incorporated immune dysfunction and socio-economic disparities.The dataset was split into 75%training and 25%testing,achieving mean squared errors of 4.3%and 4.6%respectively,with strong predictive validity(R2=0.87).A 10%global increase in organics was associated with a rise in odds ratio(OR)by 0.21(95%CI:0.12–0.29,p<0.001),compared to a smaller OR increase of 0.04(95%CI:0.01–0.09,p<0.001)for PM_(2.5).Regional disparities were evident,with Sub-Saharan Africa exhibiting higher odds ratios(OR=1.25;95%CI:1.09–1.43,p<0.01)than North America(OR=1.08;95%CI:1.03–1.24,p<0.05)at an organic burden of 5μg/m^(3).However,this trend reversed at higher exposure(25μg/m^(3)),where the OR for North America approaches 2,while Sub-Saharan Africa plateaued near 1.5.Notably,particles under 100 nm posed the greatest risk.Concluding,organic pollutants play a disproportionate and size-dependent role in IBD prevalence,with significant regional variability.This underscores the need to consider organics as a distinct environmental risk factor in IBD epidemiology.
文摘In this study,artificial neural networks(ANNs)were implemented to determine design parameters for an impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP)prototype.An ASTM A36 steel plate was tested in 3.5%NaCl solution,seawater,and NS4 using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)to monitor the evolution of the substrate surface,which affects the current required to reach the protection potential(Eprot).Experimental data were collected as training datasets and analyzed using statistical methods,including box plots and correlation matrices.Subsequently,ANNs were applied to predict the current demand at different exposure times,enabling the estimation of electrochemical parameters(limiting voltage values)that can be used to optimize a self-regulating ICCP system.The obtained electrochemical parameters were then used,through Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),to fine-tune an ANN-based proportional-integral-derivative(PID)controller for the ICCP system.

文摘Near-infrared image sensors are widely used in fields such as material identification,machine vision,and autonomous driving.Lead sulfide colloidal quantum dot-based infrared photodiodes can be integrated with sil⁃icon-based readout circuits in a single step.Based on this,we propose a photodiode based on an n-i-p structure,which removes the buffer layer and further simplifies the manufacturing process of quantum dot image sensors,thus reducing manufacturing costs.Additionally,for the noise complexity in quantum dot image sensors when capturing images,traditional denoising and non-uniformity methods often do not achieve optimal denoising re⁃sults.For the noise and stripe-type non-uniformity commonly encountered in infrared quantum dot detector imag⁃es,a network architecture has been developed that incorporates multiple key modules.This network combines channel attention and spatial attention mechanisms,dynamically adjusting the importance of feature maps to en⁃hance the ability to distinguish between noise and details.Meanwhile,the residual dense feature fusion module further improves the network's ability to process complex image structures through hierarchical feature extraction and fusion.Furthermore,the pyramid pooling module effectively captures information at different scales,improv⁃ing the network's multi-scale feature representation ability.Through the collaborative effect of these modules,the network can better handle various mixed noise and image non-uniformity issues.Experimental results show that it outperforms the traditional U-Net network in denoising and image correction tasks.
文摘Deep neural networks(DNNs)are effective in solving both forward and inverse problems for nonlinear partial differential equations(PDEs).However,conventional DNNs are not effective in handling problems such as delay differential equations(DDEs)and delay integrodifferential equations(DIDEs)with constant delays,primarily due to their low regularity at delayinduced breaking points.In this paper,a DNN method that combines multi-task learning(MTL)which is proposed to solve both the forward and inverse problems of DIDEs.The core idea of this approach is to divide the original equation into multiple tasks based on the delay,using auxiliary outputs to represent the integral terms,followed by the use of MTL to seamlessly incorporate the properties at the breaking points into the loss function.Furthermore,given the increased training dificulty associated with multiple tasks and outputs,we employ a sequential training scheme to reduce training complexity and provide reference solutions for subsequent tasks.This approach significantly enhances the approximation accuracy of solving DIDEs with DNNs,as demonstrated by comparisons with traditional DNN methods.We validate the effectiveness of this method through several numerical experiments,test various parameter sharing structures in MTL and compare the testing results of these structures.Finally,this method is implemented to solve the inverse problem of nonlinear DIDE and the results show that the unknown parameters of DIDE can be discovered with sparse or noisy data.
