The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has profoundly transformed traditional numerical and computational methods, giving rise to cutting-edge paradigms for tackling complex scientific and engineering problems. These technologies offer powerful tools for advancing our understanding of intricate systems and exhibit exceptional potential in addressing challenges such as multiscale modeling, inverse problem solving, and high-dimensional optimization.
This special issue aims to highlight recent advances in AI-enhanced numerical and computational methods with a focus on their applications in engineering and the physical sciences. We particularly welcome original contributions that demonstrate the use of AI-augmented approaches to address real-world problems, especially in emerging and frontier domains. The goal is to showcase innovative methodologies that bridge artificial intelligence with traditional computational paradigms, thereby advancing the capabilities of modeling, simulation, and optimization in complex systems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:
• Machine learning to FEM, BEM, DEM and meshfree methods (theory and applications)
• Physics-informed machine learning
• Generative Model in Engineering Design
• Multiscale modeling
• Uncertainty quantification and propagation
• Inverse problem
• Topology optimization
• Other related topics
