    Abstract: Material fracture is a process involving both linear elastic stage and nonlinear crack propagation stage. A system includes a physics-informed deep learning model integrated with a discrete simulation model (lattice particle method-LPM) to predict material fracture patterns for arbitrary material microstructures under different loadings. The key idea is to leverage physics-knowledge and data-driven approach for accurate and efficient nonlinear mapping. Physics-knowledge includes constraints, microstructure images, and displacement field from pure linear elastic analysis in a linear stage. A Fully Convolutional Network predicts the final fracture patterns in a non-linear stage. The system exhibits high computational efficiency for the nonlinear stage of material response prediction.

At least one sample of the current block is reconstructed based on the intra prediction mode and at least one reference sample in the reference line. When the reference line is a non-zero reference line, a first set of potential intra prediction modes associated with the non-zero reference line includes a smaller number of potential intra prediction modes compared to a second set of potential intra prediction modes associated with a zero reference line. The first set of potential intra prediction modes only includes most probable modes.
