  • 用图神经网络替代相场更新,保留有限元求解器保证物理一致性。
  • 在多种几何、材料和载荷下保持高精度,计算耗时大幅降低。
  • 适合需要快速泛化模拟裂纹演化的工程场景。

科学机器学习(SciML)为加速复杂物理系统仿真提供了新路径,但实现非线性、历史依赖问题的物理一致且可泛化预测仍是核心挑战。本文提出一种混合图神经网络-有限元方法(GNN-FEM)框架,用于高效通用的相场断裂建模。相场方法虽能稳健模拟复杂裂纹演化,但其高计算成本源于需在增量有限元过程中求解耦合、非线性、历史依赖的系统。为此,本文将图神经网络代理模型集成到传统交错迭代方案中,在每个载荷增量中替换相场更新步骤,同时保留基于有限元的位移求解器以确保力学平衡与边界条件。通过维持增量求解结构,该框架保持了历史依赖裂纹演化的物理一致性,无需代理模型学习完整解轨迹。这种选择性代理策略强调识别具有物理意义且增量结构明确的学习目标,而非依赖海量数据强行学习整个裂纹过程。通过无量纲特征设计、基于网格域的图结构表示以及源自控制相场方程的物理信息损失函数,框架在不同几何、载荷、材料属性及离散化条件下展现出强泛化能力。数值实验表明,该混合方法显著降低计算成本,同时保持与传统有限元相当的精度,并在多样问题设置下表现出稳健的预测性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scientific machine learning (SciML) has emerged as a promising approach for accelerating simulations of complex physical systems, yet achieving physically consistent and generalizable predictions for nonlinear, history-dependent problems remains a central challenge. In this study, we propose a hybrid GNN--FEM framework for efficient and generalizable phase-field fracture modeling. While phase-field approaches provide a robust variational framework for simulating complex crack evolution, their high computational cost limits practical applications because they require solving coupled, nonlinear, and history-dependent systems within an incremental finite element procedure. To address this challenge, a graph neural network surrogate is integrated into the conventional staggered scheme, replacing the phase-field update at each load increment while retaining the FEM-based displacement solver to enforce mechanical equilibrium and boundary conditions. By preserving the incremental solution structure, the framework remains consistent with history-dependent fracture evolution without requiring the surrogate to approximate the full solution trajectory. This selective surrogate strategy emphasizes the identification of a physically meaningful and incrementally structured learning target, rather than relying on brute-force data generation to learn the full fracture process. The proposed framework achieves strong generalization across varying geometries, loading conditions, material properties, and discretizations through dimensionless feature design, a graph-based formulation on mesh-based domains, and a physics-informed loss derived from the governing phase-field equation. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the hybrid approach reduces computational cost while maintaining accuracy compared with conventional FEM, and exhibits robust predictive performance across diverse problem settings.
