New physics-informed learning pipeline solves inverse problem for elastic constants

Researchers have developed a novel physics-informed learning pipeline to address the complex inverse problem of inferring elastic constants from resonant ultrasound spectra. This method formulates the problem as a constrained isospectral problem, reducing it to effective low-dimensional variables. The pipeline then uses a regression model on reduced spectral and geometric features, with scale recovery and final constant reconstruction handled analytically. This approach yields improved accuracy for elastic constants in cubic and isotropic materials, adapting to the geometry, scaling, symmetry, and stability of Hookean elasticity. AI
