Physics-informed Machine Learning and Its Structural Integrity Applications (Part 2)

Royal Society Publishing has recently published Part II of a special double issue of Philosophical Transactions A: Physics-informed Machine Learning and Its Structural Integrity Applications (Part 2) compiled and edited by Shun-Peng Zhu (ESIA17–ISSI2023 Session Chair for Probabilistic Failure Assessment), Abílio M P De Jesus, Filippo Berto, John G Michopoulos, Francesco Iacoviello, and Qingyuan Wang.

This theme issue explores the advances in physics-informed machine learning (PIML) and its structural integrity applications through accurate failure mechanism modelling, combining either deterministic or probabilistic analyses by using Artificial intelligence (AI) methods. Specifically, this collection discusses several critical issues related to learning from massive amounts of data, and highlights current research endeavours and the challenges to data science in structural integrity and safety, especially incorporating physics into machine learning models. Note that PIML improves consistency with prior knowledge, extrapolation performance, prediction accuracy, interpretability and computational efficiency and reduces dependence on training data, which provides an excellent opportunity to discover new physics under small samples and ambiguous physical mechanisms.

The articles can be accessed directly at www.bit.ly/TransA-2264.

A print version is also available at the special price of £40.00 per issue (usual price £60.00) by contacting the Royal Society sales team at sales@royalsociety.org and quoting the promotional code TA 2264.
