Point-Wise Full-Field Physics Neural Mapping Framework via Boundary Geometry Constrained for Large Thermoplastic Deformation

Computation modeling for large thermoplastic deformation of plastic solids is critical for industrial applications like non-invasive assessment of engineering components. While deep learning-based methods have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional numerical simulations, they often suffer from systematic errors caused by geometric mismatches between predicted and ground truth meshes. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel boundary geometry-constrained neural framework that establishes direct point-wise mappings between spatial coordinates and full-field physical quantities within the deformed domain. The key contributions of this work are as follows: (1) a two-stage strategy that separates geometric prediction from physics-field resolution by constructing direct, point-wise mappings between coordinates and physical quantities, inherently avoiding errors from mesh misalignment; (2) a boundary-condition-aware encoding mechanism that ensures physical consistency under complex loading conditions; and (3) a fully mesh-free approach that operates on point clouds without structured discretization. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves a 36–98% improvement in prediction accuracy over deep learning baselines, offering a efficient alternative for high-fidelity simulation of large thermoplastic deformations.

Abstract

Computation modeling for large thermoplastic deformation of plastic solids is critical for industrial applications like non-invasive assessment of engineering components. While deep learning-based methods have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional numerical simulations, they often suffer from systematic errors caused by geometric mismatches between predicted and ground truth meshes. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel boundary geometry-constrained neural framework that establishes direct point-wise mappings between spatial coordinates and full-field physical quantities within the deformed domain. The key contributions of this work are as follows: (1) a two-stage strategy that separates geometric prediction from physics-field resolution by constructing direct, point-wise mappings between coordinates and physical quantities, inherently avoiding errors from mesh misalignment; (2) a boundary-condition-aware encoding mechanism that ensures physical consistency under complex loading conditions; and (3) a fully mesh-free approach that operates on point clouds without structured discretization. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves a 36–98% improvement in prediction accuracy over deep learning baselines, offering a efficient alternative for high-fidelity simulation of large thermoplastic deformations.
