Abstract Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising class of scientific machine learning techniques that integrate governing physical laws into neural network training. Their ability to enforce differential equations, constitutive relations, and boundary conditions within the loss function provides a physically grounded alternative to traditional data-driven models, particularly for solid and structural mechanics, where data are often limited or noisy. This review offers a comprehensive assessment of recent developments in PINNs, combining bibliometric analysis, theoretical foundations, application-oriented insights, and methodological innovations. A bibliometric survey indicates a rapid increase in publications on PINNs since 2018,… More >
