Thursday, September 3, 2026 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Seamans Center

Department of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Differentiable Finite Element Method - A Paradigm Change in Computational Mechanics. Traditional finite element method is not formulated as a differentiable mapping. It can predict an output from an input, but cannot, at least not directly, tell how the output would change if the input were altered. Modern AI computations hinge on differentiable mapping, that is, functions that produce not only the output, but also the derivative...
