| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary A variational Bayesian inference theory of elasticity is developed using a mixed Variational Bayesian inference Finite Element Method (VBI-FEM) to solve inverse deformation problems of continua. The elastic strain energy serves as a prior in a Bayesian inference network, enabling the intelligent recovery of detailed continuum deformation mappings with only knowledge of deformed and undeformed body shapes. A finite element formulation is implemented in a computational probabilistic mechanics framework, utilizing an operator splitting or staggered algorithm akin to the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. The proposed method inversely predicts continuum deformation mappings with strong discontinuity or fracture without knowing external load conditions, providing a robust machine intelligent solution for long-sought-after inverse problem solutions. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper develops a new way to solve problems in elasticity using a mix of mathematical methods and artificial intelligence. The goal is to use this method to predict how objects will deform when they are subjected to different forces or loads. The approach uses something called variational Bayesian inference, which allows the method to learn from incomplete information and make predictions even if some details are missing. This could be useful for solving problems in areas like materials science and engineering. |
