Learning Gradient Flow: Using Equation Discovery to Accelerate Engineering Optimization

Grant Norman, Conor Rowan, Kurt Maute +1

In this work, we investigate the use of data-driven equation discovery for dynamical systems to model and forecast continuous-time dynamics of unconstrained optimization problems.…

Boundary condition enforcement with PINNs: a comparative study and verification on 3D geometries

Conor Rowan, Kai Hampleman, Kurt Maute +1

Since their advent nearly a decade ago, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have been studied extensively as a novel technique for solving forward and inverse problems in phys…

Physics-informed solution reconstruction in elasticity and heat transfer using the explicit constraint force method

Conor Rowan, Kurt Maute, Alireza Doostan

One use case of ``physics-informed neural networks'' (PINNs) is solution reconstruction, which aims to estimate the full-field state of a physical system from sparse measurements.…
