Herrmann L. Deep Learning in Computational Mechanics. An Intr. Course 2ed 2025

Textbook in PDF format

This book provides a first course without requiring prerequisite knowledge. Fundamental concepts of machine learning are introduced before explaining neural networks. With this knowledge, prominent topics in deep learning for simulation are explored. These include surrogate modeling, physics-informed neural networks, generative artificial intelligence, Hamiltonian/Lagrangian neural networks, input convex neural networks, and more general machine learning techniques
