用物理约束的高斯过程改进混凝土本构模型,提升预测精度与可靠性。
Physics-Informed Gaussian Process Regression for the Constitutive Modeling of Concrete: A Data-Driven Improvement to Phenomenological Models
- 用带物理约束的高斯过程替代传统模型的经验破坏面。
- 在训练外的高围压条件下仍保持准确,且预测方差更低。
- 适合需要可解释性与不确定度量化的真实工程建模场景。
理解并建模混凝土的本构行为对土木与国防应用至关重要。现有广泛使用的现象学模型(如Karagozian & Case, KCC)依赖经验校准的破坏面,形式灵活性差且缺乏不确定性量化。本文提出一种物理信息框架,在保留KCC模型分段弹塑性结构的基础上,用可直接从实验可观测数据学习的受约束高斯过程回归(GPR)代理模型替代其经验破坏面。利用不同围压下的三轴压缩数据进行训练,并在训练集外的围压水平上评估泛化能力。结果表明,无约束GPR在接近训练条件时拟合良好,但在外推时性能下降且违反基本物理约束,即使加入模拟数据也难以改善;而引入基于导数的物理约束的物理信息GPR显著提升准确性与可靠性,包括在训练范围之外的高围压条件下。概率性施加这些约束还降低了预测方差,使数据稀疏区域的置信区间更紧凑。总体而言,该方法提供了一个鲁棒、具备不确定性感知能力的代理模型,在不牺牲KCC模型可解释性与数值效率的前提下,提升了泛化能力并简化了校准流程,为混凝土本构模型的改进提供了实用路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding and modeling the constitutive behavior of concrete is crucial for civil and defense applications, yet widely used phenomenological models such as Karagozian \& Case concrete (KCC) model depend on empirically calibrated failure surfaces that lack flexibility in model form and associated uncertainty quantification. This work develops a physics-informed framework that retains the modular elastoplastic structure of KCC model while replacing its empirical failure surface with a constrained Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) surrogate that can be learned directly from experimentally accessible observables. Triaxial compression data under varying confinement levels are used for training, and the surrogate is then evaluated at confinement levels not included in the training set to assess its generalization capability. Results show that an unconstrained GPR interpolates well near training conditions but deteriorates and violates essential physical constraints under extrapolation, even when augmented with simulated data. In contrast, a physics-informed GPR that incorporates derivative-based constraints aligned with known material behavior yields markedly better accuracy and reliability, including at higher confinement levels beyond the training range. Probabilistic enforcement of these constraints also reduces predictive variance, producing tighter confidence intervals in data-scarce regimes. Overall, the proposed approach delivers a robust, uncertainty-aware surrogate that improves generalization and streamlines calibration without sacrificing the interpretability and numerical efficiency of the KCC model, offering a practical path toward an improved constitutive models for concrete.
