Abstract

Opportunities exist for realizing transformative advances in productivity and reductions in energy footprint through ubiquitous sensing in manufacturing environments. Enhanced Preparation for Intelligent Cybermanufacturing Systems (EPICS) is a 21-month (4 academic semesters, plus one summer) experience for graduate students that focuses on scaling the knowledge, understanding and leadership skills in the cyber manufacturing area. Masters students (8/year, 32 total) complete 2-year projects on industrially-driven project topics, rotating to internships in summer semester to work on scoping and implementation at project partners. Students complete academic training in embedded systems, process modeling, data science, and cloud-based systems design. Their projects are targeted toward sensor retrofit, process monitoring, root cause analysis, and sensor fusion.

Artificial Intelligence for Multi-Mission Planetary Operations

A brief introduction is given to an automated system called the Spacecraft Health Automated Reasoning Prototype (SHARP). SHARP is designed to demonstrate automated health and status analysis for multi-mission spacecraft and ground data systems operations. The SHARP system combines conventional computer science methodologies with artificial intelligence techniques to produce an effective method for detecting and analyzing potential spacecraft and ground systems problems. The system performs real-time analysis of spacecraft and other related telemetry, and is also capable of examining data in historical context. Telecommunications link analysis of the Voyager II spacecraft is the initial focus for evaluation of the prototype in a real-time operations setting during the Voyager spacecraft encounter with Neptune in August, 1989. The preliminary results of the SHARP project and plans for future application of the technology are discussed.

Structure–Property Linkage in Alloys Using Graph Neural Network and Explainable Artificial Intelligence

Deep learning tools have recently shown significant potential for accelerating the prediction of microstructure–property linkage in materials. While deep neural networks like convolution neural networks (CNNs) can extract physics information from 3D microstructure images, they often require a large network architecture and substantial training time. In this research, we trained a graph neural network (GNN) using phase field generated microstructures of Ni-Al alloys to predict the evolution of mechanical properties. We found that a single GNN is capable of accurately predicting the strengthening of Ni-Al alloys with microstructures of varying sizes and dimensions, which cannot otherwise be done with a CNN. Additionally, GNN requires significantly less GPU utilization than CNN and offers more interpretable explanation of predictions using saliency analysis as features are manually defined in the graph. We also utilize explainable artificial intelligence tool Bayesian Inference to determine the coefficients in the power law equation that governs coarsening of precipitates. Overall, our work demonstrates the ability of the GNN to accurately and efficiently extract relevant information from material microstructures without having restrictions on microstructure size or dimension and offers an interpretable explanation.
