Researchers have developed new neural network models, iPANN and fPANN, designed to handle uncertainty in constitutive modeling for mechanics simulations. These models aim to quantify and propagate uncertainty, particularly when dealing with sparse or noisy stress-deformation data. iPANNs establish bounds for free energy density branches, while fPANNs integrate these into a fuzzy-set representation. Both models incorporate physics-based constraints and are trained using a transfer-learning approach, demonstrating their ability to enclose noisy observations and generalize to new data. AI
IMPACT These models offer a physics-consistent method for quantifying and propagating uncertainty in mechanical simulations, potentially improving reliability in engineering applications.
