Structural Mechanics (Prof. Chatzi)Open OpportunitiesUltrasonic guided waves offer great opportunities in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Due to their short wavelength and their high frequency, however, computational costs for Ultrasonic guided wave simulations are numerically expensive. These simulations show a necessity towards unleashing the full potential of this method. Therefore, a mechanical informed surrogate will be developed based on Neural Networks. - Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Structural Engineering

| Deriving numerical representation of real-life structural systems usually leads to high complexity models. In addition, the ever-increasing engineering and manufacturing demands require the treatment of intricate systems.
However, this increased complexity is usually bad news and makes things difficult to understand and handle. The goal of this project is to research into (dynamic) substructuring: A divide and conquer approach that aims to break down the system and address each component separately.
This allows an engineer to obtain a clear view on complex or high-dimensional models and understand the interaction between components while enabling even parallel working requirements on a workspace - Construction Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering

| Nowadays, modeling real-life structural systems includes complex numerical simulations with a high demand for computational resources. The goal of the project is to derive a low-order representation of high-fidelity models that describe a real-life structure (aircrafts, wind turbines, structures). In turn, the derived Reduced Order Model will be utilized to perform damage localization or structural identification tasks under earthquake excitations or similar extreme-events case studies. - Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering
