Field-level prediction of mid-plane stress tensor fields in concrete target penetration: a cross-velocity graph neural operator surrogate

Although the impact resistance of concrete has been studied extensively, a framework linking mesoscale heterogeneity to full-field stress-tensor prediction has been lacking. Data were generated with a full-scale aggregate-resolved LS-DYNA model (projectile diameter 45 mm, mass 2.13 kg, target diameter 500 mm x thickness 200 mm, mesh 10 mm), verified against published penetration experiments (Frew 2006, Hanchak 1992, Forrestal 1996) by configuration similarity. The dataset contains six-component stress-tensor fields on the X-Z mid-plane for 400 cases (4 impact velocities x 100 aggregate seeds). Three contributions are reported. First, case-by-case verification of the terminal penetration state delimited the rest-state validity of penetration depth and anchored reliable observables to rigid-body motion and field-level stress evolution. Second, a field-level graph neural operator surrogate learned the time-varying stress-field evolution and evaluated cross-velocity leave-one-out extrapolation. Third, the full-scale, aggregate-resolved, cross-velocity, per-seed database was established as a reproducible resource. Cases at 100, 135 and 200 m/s still moved at window end (negative velocity, i.e. rebound), and only one 165 m/s case arrested. Penetration depth is therefore not reported as a rest-state scalar except for the single arrested case (69.33 mm); nose-node depth differences were confirmed as numerical artifacts of displacement integration after erosion. The single-step relative L2 error was 0.6977, reported honestly; autoregressive rollout from frame 11 to 39 took about 144 ms, a speedup of about 3.6x10^3 to 4.3x10^3 relative to single-core LS-DYNA, reported as application value. Validation is bounded by configuration similarity and field-level self-consistency; the framework is a simulation-trained decision-support method within the studied parameter space.

A Constitutive Markov Physics-Informed Neural Operator (MPNO) for Autoregressive Stability in Transient Dynamics

Neural operators applied to transient-dynamics PDEs with strong discontinuities exhibit autoregressive instability: in concrete-penetration stress-field prediction, the wavelet neural operator (WNO) diverges in autoregressive rollout, while MeshGraphNets collapse to zero predictions. WNO's instability stems from the lack of a structural constraint on the spectral radius of its propagation operator; the Fourier neural operator (FNO) is stable in these measurements but only emergently, not by construction. We propose a constitutive Markov physics-informed neural operator (MPNO) modeling one-step evolution as a Markov (row-stochastic) propagation operator. Physics-coupled edge weights (acoustic-impedance harmonic mean, contact area, and traction amplitude) encode material-interface constitutive information into a nonnegative symmetric adjacency matrix W; after normalizing the graph Laplacian L = D - W by lambda_max, the propagator P = I - alpha*L~ is constructively constrained to spectral radius rho(P) <= 1, suppressing exponential amplification of autoregressive errors. Stability is thus a designable architectural property, not an optimized loss objective. On three PDEs (Burgers and two-dimensional transverse-section concrete penetration), MPNO rolls out stably with bounded error on all test seeds at 100/135/165 m/s; the single-step relative L2 error is 0.7304 +/- 0.0008, better than WNO and comparable to FNO at about one quarter of FNO's parameters. The edge-weight formula transfers across scenarios by replacing material-property variables. With about 20K parameters, MPNO delivers roughly 10^5x inference speedup over LS-DYNA.

Tunable Flat Bands and magnetism in Triangulene-based Superatomic Graphene

Superatomic graphene platforms host a rich portfolio of flat-band-driven exotic quantum properties, yet their experimental realization remains challenging. Here, we report the bottom-up on-surface synthesis of superatomic graphene using phosphorus-doped triangulene as building blocks. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements resolve the well-defined honeycomb lattice of as-fabricated superatomic graphene and demonstrate the characteristic Dirac band and flat band electronic structures. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the flat bands originate from the in-plane p$_x,_y$-like frontier orbitals of the phosphorus-doped triangulene units, leading to intrinsic half-metallic behavior. Furthermore, oxygen functionalization of the molecular precursor enables deterministic modulation of the electronic structure and magnetic ordering. This work establishes a general platform for designing correlated quantum materials with tunable flat band properties.

Half-Metallicity in Triangulene-based Superatomic Graphene

The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets has opened up new possibilities for miniaturizing spintronic devices to the monolayer limit. 2D half-metals, capable of conducting fully spin-polarized currents when spin-orbit coupling is minimal, provide a key advantage in improving device performance. Extensive theoretical research has been carried out to discover 2D half-metals, yet their realization remains elusive. Here we report the bottom-up synthesis of superatomic graphene and the demonstration of its half-metallic properties. The produced graphene half-metal is fabricated through an on-surface synthetic approach with phosphorus-doped triangulene as its building block. Scanning tunneling microscopy measurements reveal its metallic band structures and identify its ferromagnetism through magnon excitation under varying magnetic fields. Density functional theory simulations accurately capture its half-metallic characteristics, uncovering the origin of spin-polarized bands from the p$_x,_y$-like orbital of superatomic graphene. Our work demonstrates intrinsic 2D carbon magnetism, paving the way for harnessing its advantages in spintronics.
