Energy-based PINNs with layerwise theory for static and free vibration of laminated cylindrical panels using Rayleigh quotient
摘要
This study presents an energy-based physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework for the static bending and free vibration analysis of laminated composite cylindrical panels. The formulation is established within a layerwise higher-order shear deformation theory (LW-HSDT), in which the layerwise kinematic description is incorporated into variational energy functionals. Static bending is solved by minimizing the total potential energy, while free vibration is formulated through a Rayleigh quotient. For higher-order vibration solutions, an additional mode-separation treatment is introduced to distinguish adjacent modes. The proposed framework is assessed through a series of benchmark examples, with particular attention to through thickness stress distributions, natural frequencies, and mode shapes. The predicted displacement, stress, and frequency results agree well with available three-dimensional elasticity solutions and advanced meshless results, demonstrating the capability of the proposed framework for the benchmark static bending and free vibration problems considered.
