The deep Ritz methods for the elastic contact problems with the Signorini, Tresca-friction, Coulomb-friction, and non-convex non-smooth subgradient-type boundary conditions
摘要
In this study, we investigate the deep learning (DL) approach to elastic contact problems with boundary conditions such as Signorini, Tresca friction, Coulomb friction, and non-convex non-smooth subgradient-type conditions, in the framework of the deep Ritz method (DRM). We design loss functions with hard and soft constraints. For Coulomb-friction condition, we apply the penalty-regularization approach and an iterative algorithm to minimize the unknown-dependent loss function. We conduct massive numerical experiments to investigate the applicability of our methods. Additionally, we compare the performance of the DRM with the finite element methods (FEMs) for 3D contact problems.
