contents This study develops a dimensionless multi-domain physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework for electro-osmotic radial consolidation considering smear effects and combined vacuum and surcharge loading. Three PINN-based models are investigated: a standard soft-constrained PINN (Std-PINN), a modified gated PINN (Mod-PINN), and a modified gated PINN with hard-constraint boundary encoding (Mod-HC-PINN). The models are evaluated against FEM reference solutions under four loading cases, including constant vacuum, exponential vacuum, exponential vacuum with ramp surcharge, and exponential vacuum with cyclic haversine surcharge. The results indicate that the gated architecture applied in Mod-PINN improves the resolution of steep pressure gradients near the cathode and smear-zone interface under constant vacuum loading. Under time-dependent loading, the soft-constrained Mod-PINN shows reduced accuracy because it must learn multiple competing objectives simultaneously. The Mod-HC-PINN mitigates this issue by embedding the cathode boundary and initial conditions into the output structure, thereby reducing the optimization burden and improving physical consistency. The Mod-HC-PINN achieves MAE values of 0.43, 0.41, and 0.27 kPa for the exponential vacuum, ramp surcharge, and cyclic surcharge cases, respectively. Sensitivity analyses further demonstrate that the proposed framework remains robust across practical ranges of network architecture, collocation density, and permeability contrast.
