神经网络在工程中的潜力源于其对复杂系统和非线性模式的建模能力,而传统数值方法则以高精度和可靠性著称。本文提出有限元神经网络方法(FENNM),基于Petrov-Galerkin框架,利用卷积操作逼近微分方程的加权残差。神经网络生成全局试解,测试函数取自Lagrange函数空间。与VPINN、hp-VPINN和cv-PINN相比,FENNM通过弱形式引入通量项,使力项和自然边界条件可直接融入损失函数,类似传统有限元法,便于优化并扩展至更复杂问题,利于工业应用。研究详细推导了FENNM的理论基础,揭示其与传统有限元法的相似性,并提供高效使用策略与用户指南以确保成本效益。最后,通过多个数值算例验证了FENNM的鲁棒性与精度,采用自适应网格细化技术进一步提升性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The potential of neural networks (NN) in engineering is rooted in their capacity to understand intricate patterns and complex systems, leveraging their universal nonlinear approximation capabilities and high expressivity. Meanwhile, conventional numerical methods, backed by years of meticulous refinement, continue to be the standard for accuracy and dependability. Bridging these paradigms, this research introduces the finite element neural network method (FENNM) within the framework of the Petrov-Galerkin method using convolution operations to approximate the weighted residual of the differential equations. The NN generates the global trial solution, while the test functions belong to the Lagrange test function space. FENNM introduces several key advantages. Notably, the weak-form of the differential equations introduces flux terms that contribute information to the loss function compared to VPINN, hp-VPINN, and cv-PINN. This enables the integration of forcing terms and natural boundary conditions into the loss function similar to conventional finite element method (FEM) solvers, facilitating its optimization, and extending its applicability to more complex problems, which will ease industrial adoption. This study will elaborate on the derivation of FENNM, highlighting its similarities with FEM. Additionally, it will provide insights into optimal utilization strategies and user guidelines to ensure cost-efficiency. Finally, the study illustrates the robustness and accuracy of FENNM by presenting multiple numerical case studies and applying adaptive mesh refinement techniques.
