- Abstract:
- This paper develops and presents an algorithm for solving contact problems in solid mechanics using deep machine learning technologies. The method is based on the application of physically informed neural networks, which enables searching for solutions that directly satisfy systems of equilibrium differential equations and boundary conditions. A key feature of the proposed approach is the reduction of the original boundary value problem with one-sided contact constraints expressed as inequalities to an unconstrained optimization problem. For this purpose, a special loss function is constructed that incorporates the non-penetration and non-adhesion conditions into the neural network training procedure. The algorithm is demonstrated using representative examples of contact between a perfectly rigid stamp and elastic foundations modeled by Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beams in a one-dimensional setting. It is shown that the method effectively determines both the sought-after displacement and pressure fields and the previously unknown contact region. The developed approach forms a computational basis for the creation of fast surrogate models relevant for modeling and optimizing mineral processing processes, such as crushing and grinding, in the context of energy conservation and crystal conservation.
