AI in Composite Materials and Manufacturing Webinar

Repost from #sampeconnext #gosampe #advancedmaterials #composites #ai | SAMPE

The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and composite manufacturing is revolutionizing the discovery, design, and deployment of materials. This webinar presents the Artificially Intelligent Manufacturing (AIM) Paradigm for Composites, a Department of Energy Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) leading the charge in integrating physics-informed AI models with high-fidelity multiscale simulations and real-time experimental validation to expedite advancements in polymer composite systems. Participants will gain insights into how AI—utilizing tools such as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), Deep Neural Operators (DNOs), and generative models like FiberDiffusion and ProcessGAN—is facilitating the inverse design of both composite materials and their manufacturing processes. These methodologies are grounded in the Digital Life Cycle (DLC), a framework that connects Material–Process–Microstructure–Performance (MP2) relationships with sustainability metrics encompassing energy, environmental impact, and economic factors. The presentation will also underscore AIM’s manufacturing testbeds, which function as real-world platforms for validating AI-generated predictions and investigating innovative processing methods. This session is designed for professionals from industry, academia, or government, offering a distinctive perspective on how AI is transforming the future of composite manufacturing by fostering scalable, sustainable, and intelligent systems.

Dr. Srikanth Pilla is a Professor and Director of the Center for Composite Materials at the University of Delaware (UD-CCM) with faculty appointments in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. He is also the Founding Director of ā€˜AIM for Composites,’ a Department of Energy-funded Energy Frontier Research Center. Pilla also co-directs IDeAS Composites, an NSF National Research Traineeship program focused on training next-generation composite leaders

@Yu_Group, @Jeffrey_Liu @tao364744553 the following three papers are relevant to the webinar today. Feel free to comment what you learn from these papers:

  1. [Physically Constrained 3D Diffusion for Inverse Design of Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composite Materials](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359836825004160
  2. Introduction to data‐driven systems for plastics and composites manufacturing
  3. A Foundation Model for Chemical Design and Property Prediction

@Wenbin Sorry for the late reply. I had several meetings yesterday and unfortunately missed the webinar. Looks like it was a very interesting webinar. I’ll watch the recording if it’s available and review the papers. I’ll follow up with my comments once I’ve gone through them.

@Jeffrey_Liu Have you got a chance to look Dr. Pilla’s work and provide some comment?

I watched the video but haven’t read the papers yet, as I have two proposals due in the past two weeks. I will read them and let you know my thoughts.

I went through the papers. The second one is a review article, and the third primarily focuses on chemical design, which is somewhat outside my main area of interest. I found the first paper most compelling, as it applies several advanced models (e.g., diffusion models) for 3D inverse design. While I don’t yet fully grasp the underlying theoretical framework, the approach appears to be highly promising and potentially applicable to a broad range of design problems.

thanks a lot for your comments.
