Abstract

The study of thermoelasticity problems holds significant importance in the field of engineering. When analyzing non-Fourier thermoelastic problems, it was found that as the thermal relaxation time increases, the finite element solution will face convergence difficulties. Therefore, it is necessary to use alternative methods to solve. This paper proposes a physics-informed neural network (PINN) based on the DeepXDE deep learning library to analyze thermoelastic problems, including classical thermoelastic problems, thermoelastic coupling problems, and generalized thermoelastic problems. The loss function is constructed based on equations, initial conditions, and boundary conditions. Unlike traditional data-driven methods, this approach does not rely on known solutions. By comparing with analytical and finite element solutions, the applicability and accuracy of the deep learning method have been validated, providing new insights for the study of thermoelastic problems.

Appendix A

The details of PINN will be briefly explained in this section. The temperature and displacement partial differential equations involved in this study are set as follows (taking one of the cases as an example):

The boundary conditions and initial conditions are set as follows, the displacement boundary condition is controlled to be zero on the left boundary, the radial stress on the right boundary is zero, the temperature boundary condition is zero flux on the left boundary, the constant heat flux on the right boundary, the initial displacement is zero, and the initial temperature is T00.

The network structure is set as follows, which is a deep neural network with five hidden layers, with 80 neurons per layer. The specific parameters can be seen in Table 1.
