Graph Neural Operator Surrogate Predicts Stress Tensor Fields in Concrete Penetration
Researchers have developed a graph neural operator that estimates full mid-plane stress tensor fields in concrete during projectile penetration, connecting the material's mesoscale structure to complete field-level predictions. The surrogate was trained on data from a detailed aggregate-resolved LS-DYNA simulation and is designed to generalize across different impact velocities, offering a faster stand-in for expensive finite-element computations.
