Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences is calling for submissions to our new Collection on "Advances in Machine Learning and Computational Mechanics". 

Deep learning tools in computational mechanics hold significant importance in current scientific and engineering research. The integration of both data-driven disciplines and computational mechanics is transforming the research landscape, influencing how we design, simulate, analyze and optimize complex systems. Merging knowledge coming from these two fields provides new insights for a deeper understanding of mechanics. These synergies appear in multiple industrial applications, from aerospace to material science and civil infrastructures, becoming a critical, and interdisciplinary, area of study. 

Although one of the most active fields is the so-called physics-informed machine learning, the use of these techniques with statistical foundation has had a great impact in other studies such as to learn patterns in massive datasets and unveil correlations in the available data. The final goal is always to highlight new insights, which improve the scientific understanding of mechanics, while facilitating optimization through surrogates. Moreover, inverse modeling becomes at hand through reducing the computational cost.

This Collection focuses on the latest advances in machine learning and deep learning for computational mechanics applications. The goal is to showcase recent advances in the development and understanding of coupled machine learning and physical modeling for complex physical systems, along with their applications across industrial domains.

Submissions aligned with the following topics are expected:

  • Advances of simulation for predicting complex behaviors of materials, structures, and dynamics
  • Real time simulation and control in multiscale analysis
  • Model order reduction coupled with machine learning applications
  • Model calibration, adaptation, and correction
  • Stochastic and uncertainty analysis in complex systems and data assimilation
  • Data-driven insights discovery
