Competition between thermal and elastic waves in microscale solids: A generalized Guyer–Krumhansl thermoelastic formulation

Thermoelastic coupling at micro- and nanoscales is strongly influenced by non-Fourier heat transport, where heat-flux relaxation and spatial nonlocality can modify both thermal-wave propagation and the associated mechanical response. In this work, a thermodynamically consistent g...

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Flexoelectric Boundary Value Problems: A Reformulated Architecture for High‐ and Mixed‐Order Electromechanically Coupled Systems

ABSTRACT Flexoelectricity denotes a universal electromechanical coupling in dielectric materials, whereby strain gradients break local inversion symmetry and induce electric polarization. The resulting boundary value problem (BVP) is governed by a coupled multi‐physics system of...
