Hierarchical Deep Learning Neural Network (HiDeNN)-FEM-AI for Process Design and Performance Prediction of Material Systems

Abstract

We propose a mechanistic Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework, called Hierarchical Deep Learning Neural Networks or HiDeNN-AI [1,2,8] for discovering the multiscale linkage of process-structure-property of additive manufacturing systems. The HiDeNN-AI discovery has three sequentially executed steps: (1) using available data to characterize an unknown physical process in manufacturing, (2) enriching the database and training with mechanistic knowledge coming from the system identification in step (1) with uncertain parameters to create a reduced order model with uncertainty, and (3) using the reduced order model to generate sufficient data to discover new robust mathematical principles that are able to (a) perform predictive solutions for design and optimization, and (b) provide simple relationship for online monitoring and control. We have applied this HiDeNN-AI framework to address the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) AM modeling challenges [3, 4, 5]; and for the prediction of the as-built mechanical properties [6]. To further enhance HiDeNN-AI, a reduced-order modeling method accounting input uncertainty, called the Tensor Decomposition (TD) [7], is being developed. The so-called HiDeNN-AI-TD is expected to solve the general engineering design and manufacturing problems in high dimensional space-time-parametric domains at deep discount in computational cost. Once the offline database is set up, the mechanistic machine learning module of HiDeNN-AI can be activated for process design, real time system monitoring and control or the identification of key processing parameters for the desired performance of the manufactured material systems with uncertainty quantification. Various results comparing the HiDeNN-AI-TD approach with the conventional machine learning models will be shown using real-time IR in-situ measurement, and high-frequency thermal signatures for the predictions of mechanical properties and the detection of lack of fusion and keyhole porosities. Similar applications to polymer matrix composites will be presented.
