🔍 Why VINO?
Traditional numerical methods for solving PDEs often face significant challenges in handling scalability and require large paired datasets. VINO introduces a revolutionary variational energy-based framework that:
- Seamlessly integrates physical laws through variational principle with neural operators, reducing dependency on extensive datasets.
- Provides robust and efficient solutions by leveraging energy formulations and shape function in FEM to construct derivation and integral.
- Achieves superior accuracy and convergence, particularly for high-resolution mesh computations, setting a new standard for computational mechanics.
🚀 Key Innovations:
- Leverages energy formulations of PDEs, bypassing the need for paired input-output datasets.
- Solves differentiation and integration challenges efficiently with shape function in FEM.
- Outperforms existing methods such as FNO and PINO in terms of accuracy, convergence, and scalability.
- Demonstrates robust performance across different material distribution, boundary condition, and complex and irregular domains, making it highly versatile for engineering applications.
🔧 Applications:
VINO is reshaping the landscape of computational mechanics by excelling in the following areas:
- Porous Material Mechanics: Modeling distributed loads and porosity effects for lightweight structural designs.
- Hyperelasticity: Predicting large nonlinear deformations in advanced materials like Mooney-Rivlin models.
- Complex Domain Modeling: Solving PDEs in geometrically challenging domains, such as plates with arbitrary voids, crucial for customized engineering designs.
These applications underscore VINO's capability to address real-world problems in aerospace, automotive, biomechanics, and beyond.
