Aligned programme of study: PhD in Civil Engineering
Mode of study: Full-time
Project description:
The comfortability of high-speed railway (HSR) is crucial as it directly affects passengers’ willingness of selection. In current engineering practice, the normal way is to analyse it through Newmark integration method based on the monitored data of vibration, acceleration, substructure deformation, etc. Recently, with the development of machine learning, data-driven method has become a powerful tool for civil engineers. Especially, Physics Informed Machine Learning (PIMM) can be used as a comprehensive analysis considering both physics-based analysis, i.e. the HSR dynamics, and the data-based analysis, i.e. deep learning methods. This project aims to analyse the HSR comfortability using PIMM and will validate the applicability and test the accuracy on real HSR engineering projects.
