Physics-Informed Machine Learning and Multiscale Modeling for Structure–Property Quantification of Polymer Composites
Abstract: The growing need for light-weight, high strength, and sustainable polymer composites has led to the development of smart methods that enable accurate structural-property quantification and material design. However, conventional methods have been predominantly data-based, thus ignoring physical constraints as well as multi-scale interactions involving fiber, matrix, interface, and process parameters, leading to lower accuracy and poor robustness and interpretability of the models. In this study, a Cat Swarm Optimization-Tuned Physics-Informed …
