  • Publication number: 20250036935
    Abstract: A coupled physics-informed neural network for solving displacement distribution of a bounded vibration string under an unknown external driving force is provided. A novel PINN is proposed, called C-PINN, used for solving the displacement distribution of the bounded vibration string under an external driving force with little or even no priori information. It comprises two neural networks: NetU and NetG. NetU is used for approximating satisfying the displacement distribution of the bounded vibration string under study. NetG is used for regularizing u in the NetU to satisfy the displacement distribution of the approximation of NetU. The two networks are integrated into a data-physics-hybrid loss function. In addition, a proposed hierarchical training strategy is used for optimizing the loss function and realizing the coupling of the two networks. Finally, the performance of the C-PINN in solving the displacement distribution of the bounded vibration string under the external driving force is verified.
