One of the research areas within operation and maintenance engineering, which has shown rapidly expanding growth with exciting potential, is the area of Structural Reliability Analysis (SRA). Due to the increasing complexity and scale of modern critical infrastructure, proposing an accurate and efficient approach for assessing uncertainties in their material properties, geometric dimensions, and operating environments becomes increasingly necessary. SRA is not only beneficial for the systematic adjustment of the structures’ safety factors, but also it is a crucial factor for the probabilistic design and operation of structures.
Subject description
Operation and Maintenance Engineering deals with the development of technologies to ensure high system dependability, effective maintenance processes, and life cycle management of engineering assets.
Project description
Our objective with SRA is to build the division's capability of integrating climate change impacts and utilizing advanced machine learning models to increase not only safety, reliability and prolonging asset life but also the efficiency and effectiveness of the critical infrastructures. To manage and tutor the students and to fill the gap in our current research projects related to this topic, a researcher is needed with the capability of the research on this topic in combination with machine learning.
