Extended pseudo-spectral physics-informed neural networks for phase-field models

arXiv:2606.24660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Phase-field models play a central role in the continuum description of phase separation, in which the bulk free-energy density and the interfacial thickness parameter determine pattern formation and microstructural evolution. In practice, these constitutive quantities are rarely known a priori and must be inferred from limited dynamical observations. In this work, an extended pseudo-spectral physics-informed neural network (ESPINN) framework is developed for the inverse identification of phase-field models from transient snapshot data. It enabl

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of advanced neural network techniques is enabling new applications for solving complex scientific and engineering problems previously intractable or highly computationally expensive.

Why it’s important

This development allows for improved understanding and prediction of material behaviors critical to fields like materials science, energy, and manufacturing, potentially accelerating research and development.

What changes

The ability to infer complex constitutive quantities from limited data via AI will reduce the need for extensive experimental testing and theoretical derivation in phase-field model development.
