TIP-INN: A thermodynamics-informed machine learning framework for the mechanical behavior of rocks

Abstract Modeling the mechanical deformation of geological materials across relevant thermodynamic conditions and dynamic processes remains a fundamental challenge in Earth sciences. Conventional rheological models rely on isolated disciplinary approaches and hard-coded iterative...

How Much Physics Should a Neural Network Know? Thermodynamics‐Informed Neural Networks for Rock Constitutive Modeling With Epistemic Uncertainty

Abstract Machine learning offers a flexible route to constitutive modeling, with two emergent questions for geoscience applications: what level of thermodynamic constraint should be embedded in the network architecture, and how should predictive uncertainty be quantified when ext...
