Excited to Share Our Latest Research!

We are thrilled to announce the publication of our groundbreaking paper on Variational Physics-Informed Neural Operators (VINO) on arXiv! This innovative work represents a major advancement in solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) through cutting-edge machine learning, combining scalability, efficiency, and unparalleled accuracy. Great work with everyone, especially @ Mohammad Sadegh Eshaghi!

🔍 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:

  1. Leverages energy formulations of PDEs, bypassing the need for paired input-output datasets.
  2. Solves differentiation and integration challenges efficiently with  shape function in FEM.
  3. Outperforms existing methods such as FNO and PINO in terms of accuracy, convergence, and scalability.
  4. 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.
