Deep Energy Method for Large Deformation Analysis of Isotropic and Inhomogeneous Hyperelastic Ellipsoidal Pressurized Structures

Nasser Firouzi, Shaofan Li, Timon Rabczuk

ABSTRACT The accurate prediction of displacement and stress fields in pressure vessels is essential for the safe and reliable design of these structures, particularly when dealing with nonlinear behavior such as that of hyperelastic functionally graded materials (FGMs). Conventio…

eXact-Prior Variational Autoencoder (X-VAE): Learning Data-Adaptive Gaussian Mixture Priors for Latent Distributions

Qijun Chen, Shaofan Li

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) commonly assume a standard isotropic Gaussian prior over the latent space, an assumption that often fails to capture the true distribution of latent representations for complex datasets. This mismatch can limit reconstruction accuracy, reduce sampl…
