[0002] In high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, shipbuilding, and energy equipment, composite material structures have been widely used in wing skins, fuselage panels, ship structures, and other critical load-bearing components due to their advantages such as low density, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and strong structural designability. By rationally designing the layup parameters of composite material structures, such as layup angles and thicknesses, structural performance optimization and weight reduction can be achieved while meeting load-bearing capacity and stability requirements, which is of great significance for improving the overall performance of equipment.

[0003] Composite material structures exhibit significant anisotropy, and their mechanical response is closely related to geometry, material parameters, layup, boundary conditions, and load types, resulting in high variable dimensionality and complex coupling relationships. In current engineering practice, composite material structure design typically relies on finite element analysis (FEM) methods for multiple rounds of modeling and simulation verification to evaluate performance indicators such as bending deflection response, stress-strain distribution, and stability. While this method offers high computational accuracy, its modeling process is cumbersome, computationally time-consuming, and heavily reliant on computational resources, making it difficult to adapt to the demands of rapid design iteration and large-scale optimization in high-dimensional design spaces.

[0004] Therefore, under the premise of ensuring analytical accuracy and result reliability, how to construct an efficient modeling method that can quickly predict the mechanical response of composite material structures, reduce the dependence on high-cost numerical simulation, and is applicable to structural optimization design has become an important technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

An affine transformation relationship between the reference domain and the physical domain is established, and the Jacobian matrix and its determinant are calculated. The equivalent calculation of the energy integral between the physical domain and the reference domain is performed through the Jacobian transformation.

[0023] Based on the aforementioned physical information neural network mechanics model, minimizing the total potential energy of the bending problem and minimizing the Rayleigh quotient of the buckling problem are used as training objectives to solve for the buckling factor and the layer-by-layer strain limit. Specifically, the solution process for the buckling factor and the layer-by-layer strain limit includes: Based on the principle of minimizing total potential energy, a total potential energy functional for the bending problem is constructed as the first loss function, and the bending response and layer-by-layer strain limit of the laminate under out-of-plane load are solved using the physical information neural network mechanical model.

[0024] The four types of typical boundary conditions are uniformly adapted by a strong formal boundary embedding function. The four types of typical boundary conditions include simply supported on four sides, fixed on four sides, simply supported on two sides and free on both sides, and fixed on two sides and free on both sides.

[0025] The ply angle and ply thickness of the laminate under test are used as design variables and optimized using a genetic algorithm. The goal is to minimize the ply mass, with buckling factor and layer-by-layer strain limits as constraints, to output the optimal ply scheme. The optimal ply scheme is a mass-minimizing design obtained by setting one of the four typical boundary conditions, evaluating the buckling factor and strain extreme values ​​through the physical information neural network mechanical model, and using them as constraints in the genetic algorithm for optimization search.

[0026] The genetic algorithm includes selection, crossover, and mutation operators; the angle variable is updated using discrete random sampling or random sampling of the parent generation; the thickness variable is updated using linear combination or normal distribution perturbation.

[0028] In this embodiment, to efficiently solve the bending response and buckling stability of composite laminates under the combined action of out-of-plane uniform loads and in-plane loads, and to further conduct lightweight optimization design for ply angles (discrete variables) and layer thicknesses (continuous variables), this invention proposes a unified solution for laminate bending-buckling based on Physical Information Neural Network (PINN) and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization method. This method is based on Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) as its mechanical foundation, and calculates the equivalent stiffness matrix of the laminate... A , B , D The construction process of the (Laminate ABD stiffness matrix) and the variational energy principle (minimizing the total potential energy of the bending problem and the Rayleigh quotient of the buckling problem) are explicitly coupled to the neural network training objective. The required displacement field and strain / curvature field derivatives are obtained through automatic differentiation, thus enabling rapid calculation of the bending response and buckling factor of arbitrary quadrilateral laminates under various boundary constraints without the need to establish a finite element mesh and a global stiffness matrix. Based on this, a genetic algorithm optimization process is constructed with the goal of minimizing mass and constrained by buckling factor and layer-by-layer strain limits, automatically searching for ply angle and thickness combinations that satisfy engineering constraints. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Problem modeling and input parameter definition.

[0029] This step is used to perform parametric modeling of the mechanical problems of composite laminates. It constructs a parametric input model that can be uniformly set by taking geometric features, material parameters, load conditions and displacement boundary constraints, thereby ensuring that the subsequent PINN solution and optimization module has a unified interface and good transferability under various problem configurations.

[0030] Step 101: Definition of the geometric region and coordinates of the laminate: To facilitate the PINN calculation, a bitriangular affine transformation is needed to transform the physical domain coordinates of the laminate to the reference domain coordinates for the solution. The physical domain of the mid-surface of the laminate is defined as a two-dimensional region. The physical domain coordinates in the middle surface are (x, y), the thickness direction coordinate of the laminate is z (the z coordinate of the middle surface of the laminate is 0), and the z coordinates of the upper and lower surfaces of the laminate are h / 2 and -h / 2 respectively.

[0031] For a quadrilateral laminate of arbitrary shape, the physical domain coordinates of its four corner points can be defined as V1(V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8, V9, V1, V1, V2, V1, V2, V3, V4 ... x 1, y 1) V2 ( x 2, y 2) V3 ( x 3, y 3) V4 ( x 4, y 4). A reference domain (a unit square region) is introduced. The coordinates within the reference domain are ( ).in, and These represent the two principal directions of the reference domain coordinates.

[0032] Step 102: Input laminate layup parameters and material properties: Let the total number of laminate layers be... N , No. k The ply angle of each layer (layer numbers increasing from bottom to top) is... , No. k Layer thickness is The total thickness of the laminate is... h Satisfying the relation: And define the coordinates of the interfaces between each layer of the laminate as follows: , , in,z 0 represents the middle surface of the laminate. z coordinate, z k For the first k The coordinates of the upper surface of the layer, z k-1 Let K be the coordinates of the lower surface of the k-th layer. For the first k The z-coordinate of the mid-plane of the layer.

E 1- and 2-direction tensile modulus E 2. Shear modulus in 12 directions G 12 12-direction Poisson's ratio 21-direction Poisson's ratio Based on the above anisotropic material parameters, the single-layer stiffness matrix Q (principal axes of the material) under plane stress conditions can be defined as follows: Step 103, Load Input: For bending problems, it is necessary to define out-of-plane load input (uniformly distributed surface load). q ( x,y (Unit: N / m) 2 ): For buckling problems, it is necessary to define in-plane load inputs (uniform wire loads). N x , N y , N xy (Unit: N / m).

[0034] , , Step 104, Boundary Condition Type: This invention supports the following four types of boundary constraint combinations and allows specifying "which two edges are free edges / constrained edges" (implementation is parameterizable, for example, letting...). =0, 1 are constraint edges, let (where =0 and 1 represent free edges), the four types of displacement boundary conditions are as follows: 1) Simply Supported on All Four Edges (SSSS): All four boundary edges are simply supported. 2) Clamped on All Four Edges (CCCC): All four edges are clamped. 3) Simply Supported on Two Opposite Edges and Free on the Other Two Edges (SSFF): The two opposite edges are simply supported, and the other two edges are free. Clamped on Two Opposite Edges and Free on the Other Two Edges (CCFF): Two opposite edges are fixed, while the other two edges are free.

[0035] Step 2: Construction of the physical information neural network mechanical model.

[0036] This step is used to construct a unified physical information neural network mechanical modeling framework for arbitrary quadrilateral laminates. Its core lies in coupling "geometric mapping - construction of laminate theoretical stiffness - expression of displacement field" under the same mathematical system, thereby providing a consistent energy calculation basis for solving subsequent bending problems (minimum total potential energy) and buckling problems (Rayleigh quotient eigenvalues).

[0037] Step 201, Bitriangular Affine Geometric Mapping: First, the unit square region of the reference domain needs to be divided into two triangular regions along the diagonal, resulting in two triangular regions. and The interval expressions for the two triangular regions within the reference domain are as follows: exist Internally defined local affine parameters ( s 1, t 1) Represented using the reference domain coordinate system: Similarly, in Internally defined local affine parameters ( s 2, t 2) Represented using the reference domain coordinate system: Next, the arbitrary shape of the quadrilateral in the physical domain V 1 V 2 V 3 V 4. Divide into two triangles along the diagonal. T 1 and T 2, where triangle T 1. From the vertex V 1 V 2 VComposed of 3, a triangle T 2. From the vertex V 1 V 4 V 3. Composition.

ABD The coefficients of the matrix expansion are as follows: in, For the first laminate k The rotational stiffness matrix of the layer z k For the first k upper surface of the layer z coordinate, z k-1 For the first k The lower surface of the layer z coordinate.

[0045] Step 3: PINN solution method for bending response.

To accommodate asymmetric ply layup and bending-tension coupling, this step employs... ABD Solve using the fully coupled matrix energy form.

[0047] Step 301: Physical Domain Displacement Field and Strain-Curvature Relationship: For the quadrilateral region of the physical domain Based on Kirchhoff's thin plate theory, the mid-surface displacement of a laminated plate is defined as follows: in, The displacement of the mid-surface of the laminate along the 1-axis of the material coordinate system. For displacement along the 2-axis direction, w This represents the out-of-plane displacement of the laminate. Additionally, the mid-surface strain of the laminate is defined. and curvature As shown below: , Therefore, the relationship between the strain of the laminate and the thickness direction z can be calculated: Step 302, Strain energy density per unit area in the physical domain: The strain energy density per unit area u within the physical domain is defined as follows: Integrating u over the physical domain, we obtain the total strain energy U in the physical domain, as expressed below: Step 303, External potential energy and total potential energy functional: Uniformly distributed load external potential energy W The definition is as follows: in, q 0 represents the uniformly distributed load acting on the laminate. w This represents the out-of-plane displacement of the laminate.

The definition is as follows: Meanwhile, to avoid calculating trivial solutions (zero displacement fields), it is necessary to introduce a normalized loss term for the buckling modal displacement field, defined as follows: as follows: Therefore, the loss function of the physical information neural network can be obtained. Loss The expression is as follows: in, These are the parameters of the neural network, such as weights and biases. , , The deflection prediction value output by the neural network. β These are the component weights of the loss function.

[0054] Step 5: Unified adaptation method for multi-displacement boundary conditions.

[0055] This step provides mechanical expressions for four types of boundary conditions and offers a template for unified implementation in PINN using "polynomial strong form embedding operators," such that: 1) For different displacement boundary conditions, you only need to switch the different displacement boundary condition operators.

[0069] In summary, this invention, based on a mechanical modeling method combining classical laminate theory and physical information neural networks, constructs a unified computational framework for evaluating and optimizing the bending and buckling performance of composite laminates, offering the following technical effects and advantages: 1. It can achieve high-precision and rapid prediction of the mechanical response of laminates while ensuring physical consistency.

[0070] This invention directly incorporates the energy functional of the bending and buckling problem of laminates into the neural network training process, ensuring that the network's solution process strictly aligns with real physical laws. This avoids the shortcomings of traditional data-driven surrogate models, which "only fit the data and do not reflect the mechanism." Stable and reliable mechanical response results can be obtained without requiring a large amount of finite element sample data, significantly improving computational efficiency and result reliability.

[0071] 2. It can fully reflect the true impact of composite laminate layup parameters on structural performance.

[0072] This invention explicitly introduces laminates during the modeling process. ABD The stiffness matrix accurately reflects the effects of ply angle and thickness variations on bending stiffness, in-plane stiffness, and tension-bending coupling effects. Compared to a simplified model that only uses equivalent bending stiffness, this invention can more realistically reflect the structural mechanical behavior in complex engineering scenarios such as asymmetric plying and multi-material lamination.

[0073] 3. It can uniformly adapt to various boundary conditions, improving the versatility of the method and its applicability in engineering.

[0074] This invention achieves unified support for various typical boundary conditions, such as simply supported four sides, fixed four sides, simply supported two sides with both sides free, and fixed two sides with both sides free, by constructing a polynomial-form boundary embedding function. Under different boundary conditions, there is no need to reconstruct the solution model or algorithm flow; adaptation can be achieved simply by adjusting the boundary expression, significantly improving the applicability of the method to different structural configurations and engineering problems.

[0075] 4. It can directly output the key performance indicators required for engineering design, which facilitates integration with the optimization design process.

[0076] This invention can directly output the first-order buckling factor and the strain extreme values ​​of each ply, with the index format highly consistent with the composite material structure design specifications, and can be directly used for strength and stability constraint determination. This feature allows the method to be naturally embedded into the structural optimization process, providing a standardized performance evaluation interface for the automatic optimization of ply parameters.

[0077] 5. It can significantly reduce the dependence on finite element modeling in composite material structure design and improve design efficiency.

[0078] This invention eliminates the need to construct complex finite element models and mesh generation. It only requires input of geometry, material, load, boundary, and layup parameters to complete analysis and optimization. Compared with the traditional "modeling-solving-post-processing" finite element process, it significantly reduces modeling complexity and labor costs, making it particularly suitable for applications such as parameter sensitivity analysis, scheme comparison, and intelligent optimization design.
