Deep learning applied to computational mechanics: A comprehensive review, state of the art, and the classics
Three recent breakthroughs due to AI in arts and science serve as motivation:
An award winning digital image, protein folding, fast matrix multiplication.
Many recent developments in artificial neural networks, particularly deep
learning (DL), applied and relevant to computational mechanics (solid, fluids,
finite-element technology) are reviewed in detail. Both hybrid and pure machine
learning (ML) methods are discussed. Hybrid methods combine traditional PDE
discretizations with ML methods either (1) to help model complex nonlinear
constitutive relations, (2) to nonlinearly reduce the model order for efficient
simulation (turbulence), or (3) to accelerate the simulation by predicting
certain components in the traditional integration methods. Here, methods (1)
and (2) relied on Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture, with method (3)
relying on convolutional neural networks. Pure ML methods to solve (nonlinear)
PDEs are represented by Physics-Informed Neural network (PINN) methods, which
could be combined with attention mechanism to address discontinuous solutions.
Both LSTM and attention architectures, together with modern and generalized
classic optimizers to include stochasticity for DL networks, are extensively
reviewed. Kernel machines, including Gaussian processes, are provided to
sufficient depth for more advanced works such as shallow networks with infinite
width. Not only addressing experts, readers are assumed familiar with
computational mechanics, but not with DL, whose concepts and applications are
built up from the basics, aiming at bringing first-time learners quickly to the
forefront of research. History and limitations of AI are recounted and
discussed, with particular attention at pointing out misstatements or
misconceptions of the classics, even in well-known references. Positioning and
pointing control of a large-deformable beam is given as an example.Comment: 275 pages, 158 figures. Appeared online on 2023.03.01 at

Handbook of Mathematical Geosciences
This Open Access handbook published at the IAMG's 50th anniversary, presents a compilation of invited path-breaking research contributions by award-winning geoscientists who have been instrumental in shaping the IAMG. It contains 45 chapters that are categorized broadly into five parts (i) theory, (ii) general applications, (iii) exploration and resource estimation, (iv) reviews, and (v) reminiscences covering related topics like mathematical geosciences, mathematical morphology, geostatistics, fractals and multifractals, spatial statistics, multipoint geostatistics, compositional data analysis, informatics, geocomputation, numerical methods, and chaos theory in the geosciences
Impact of geogenic degassing on C-isotopic composition of dissolved carbon in karst systems of Greece
The Earth C-cycle is complex, where endogenic and exogenic sources are interconnected, operating in a multiple spatial and temporal scale (Lee et al., 2019). Non-volcanic CO2 degassing from active tectonic structures is one of the less defined components of this cycle (Frondini et al., 2019). Carbon mass-balance (Chiodini et al., 2000) is a useful tool to quantify the geogenic carbon output from regional karst hydrosystems. This approach has been demonstrated for central Italy and may be valid also for Greece, due to the similar geodynamic settings. Deep degassing in Greece has been ascertained mainly at hydrothermal and volcanic areas, but the impact of geogenic CO2 released by active tectonic areas has not yet been quantified. The main aim of this research is to investigate the possible deep degassing through the big karst aquifers of Greece. Since 2016, 156 karst springs were sampled along most of the Greek territory. To discriminate the sources of carbon, the analysis of the isotopic composition of carbon was carried out. δ13CTDIC values vary from -16.61 to -0.91‰ and can be subdivided into two groups characterized by (a) low δ13CTDIC, and (b) intermediate to high δ13CTDIC with a threshold value of -6.55‰. The composition of the first group can be related to the mixing of organic-derived CO2 and the dissolution of marine carbonates. Springs of the second group, mostly located close to Quaternary volcanic areas, are linked to possible carbon input from deep sources
