What the math gives to ML
The paper's transferable asset is not the beam-specific matrix itself, but the replacement of derivative-heavy strong-form PINN residuals by an assembled, frequency-dependent operator whose element basis already satisfies the governing differential equation. This creates a derivative-free physics loss and exposes the spectral structure of the problem through the nonlinear matrix pencil \(\mathbf W(\omega)\). The Wittrick–Williams count supplies a constructive way to bracket and enumerate higher eigenfrequencies, avoiding mode collapse and repeated convergence to the lowest eigenvalue. The strongest ML transfer is therefore a dynamic-stiffness operator layer combined with certified frequency bracketing for neural eigenmode models on discretized linear PDEs.

Use a spectral eigenvalue-counting function to bracket each target mode before neural optimization. The network then solves only within an interval containing exactly one eigenfrequency, preventing optimization from repeatedly collapsing to the lowest mode or jumping between modes.

Replace pointwise high-order derivative residuals in an eigenvalue PINN by an assembled dynamic-stiffness residual \(\mathbf W(\omega)q_\theta\), where each element matrix is obtained from homogeneous PDE solutions. The network predicts nodal degrees of freedom or element boundary traces, while the exact frequency-domain operator enforces the physics without differentiating the network multiple times with respect to coordinates.
