Abstract Scope |
Accurate estimation of material parameters, such as gradient energy coefficients, is critical for modeling microstructural evolution but remains challenging due to experimental limitations. Our work focuses on Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework that integrates governing partial differential equations directly into the training process of a neural network, to enable simultaneous forward modeling and inverse parameter estimation from morphological data. We demonstrate the PINNs capability by recovering the gradient energy coefficient from an observed microstructure evolution data across varying spatial resolutions. The inverse model consistently estimates physically meaningful parameters, even from coarse data, highlighting the robustness and generalization ability of PINNs. This methodology offers a scalable and data-efficient approach for solving inverse problems in materials science and can be extended to a wide range of systems where direct measurements are impractical. |
