The demand for fast and accurate structural analysis is becoming increasingly more prevalent with the advance of generative design topology optimization technologies. As one step toward accelerating analysis, this work explores a deep learning based approach predicting stress fields in 2D linear elastic cantilevered structures subjected to external static loads at its free end using convolutional neural networks (CNN). Two different architectures are implemented that take as input structure...

Abstract In topology optimization using deep learning, the load and boundary conditions represented as vectors or sparse matrices often miss opportunity to encode a rich view of design problem, leading less than ideal generalization results. We propose new data-driven model called TopologyGAN that takes advantage various physical fields computed on original, unoptimized material domain, inputs generator conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). Compared baseline cGAN, achieves...

Abstract Using deep learning to analyze mechanical stress distributions is gaining interest with the demand for fast analysis. Deep approaches have achieved excellent outcomes when utilized speed up computation and learn physical nature without prior knowledge of underlying equations. However, most studies restrict variation geometry or boundary conditions, making it difficult generalize methods unseen configurations. We propose a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) model...

The ready-to-use, structure-supporting hydrogel bioink can shorten the time for ink preparation, ensure cell dispersion, and maintain preset shape/microstructure without additional assistance during printing. Meanwhile, with high permeability might facilitate uniform growth in biological constructs, which is beneficial to homogeneous tissue repair. Unfortunately, current bioinks are hard meet these requirements simultaneously a simple way. Here, based on fast dynamic crosslinking of aldehyde...

Precise quantification of protein-ligand interaction is critical in early-stage drug discovery. Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained massive popularity this area, with deep-learning models used to extract features from ligand and protein molecules. However, these often fail capture intermolecular non-covalent interactions, the primary factor influencing binding, leading lower accuracy interpretability. Moreover, such overlook spatial structure complexes, resulting weaker generalization....

Abstract The Periprosthetic Acetabular Osteotomy (PAO) is a commonly used technique in orthopedics for treating developmental hip dysplasia and dislocation, as the most effective treatment of (DDH). However, performing PAO can be challenging surgeons due to limited visibility difficulty detecting any deformations osteotome chisels when they are deeply immersed pelvis. These challenges result serious complications, such excessive bleeding nerve injuries. We propose novel precision tracking...

Abstract In design for forming, it is becoming increasingly significant to develop surrogate models of high-fidelity finite element analysis (FEA) simulations forming processes achieve effective component feasibility assessment as well process and optimizations. However, using traditional scalar-based machine learning methods (SBMLMs) fall short on accuracy generalizability. This because SBMLMs fail harness the location information available from simulations. To overcome this shortcoming,...
