Postgraduate thesis

Postgraduate students are required to complete an advanced postgraduate thesis research project. This project involves an independent investigation at an advanced level and may include research, design, feasibility or other analysis. It involves integration of knowledge and evaluation across a range of topics in the area of specialisation. For most students, this is the most significant single piece of work in their university career and should be an intellectually engaging and an enjoyable experience.

Select your school to find more information regarding your advanced thesis research project. For any further questions, please contact your  Postgraduate Thesis/Project Coordinator .

If taking a Practice Thesis (group project), you must enrol in  Thesis A (MMAN9001)  and  Thesis B (MMAN9002) .

If taking a Research Thesis (individual project), enrol in  Research Thesis A (MMAN9451) ,  Research Thesis B (MMAN9452)  and  Research Thesis C (MMAN9453) .

For Research thesis, you will first need to find a supervisor and get their approval. An approved application is required to undertake Research and to gain permission to enrol. The deadline to enrol in MMAN4951/MMAN9451 is Friday Week 1, but get in early to get the project and supervisor you want.

You can find more information by visiting the Mech Eng Thesis Selection page.

Research Thesis

Research Thesis is a compulsory pathway in the Mining Engineering (Hons) degree and an optional pathway for high WAM students doing Petroluem Engineering. This thesis allows a student to work closely with a particular supervisor, learn particular skills – like programming or laboratory work, conduct research and write up their findings. To take this stream, you will need to first enrol in MERE4951 Research Thesis A.

MERE4951 Research Thesis A

In this course you will be required to find a supervisor and topic to work on. You can find a list of our research strengths here:

https://www.unsw.edu.au/engineering/minerals-and-energy-resources-engineering/research

You can also find an individual academic and ask them about topics that they work on. Academics from our school are available here:

https://www.unsw.edu.au/engineering/minerals-and-energy-resources-engineering/about-us/our-people

Once you enrol, make sure you have access to the Microsoft Team (the link is on the Moodle page), which is filled with information and has active forums for asking questions:

MERE4952 & MERE9453 Research Thesis B & C

These two units (4UoC each) can be taken in the same term or separately. Thesis B involves submitting a video/audio reflection of the work so far and an interim report. Thesis C involves writing your thesis and recording and submitting a scientific presentation of your results.

All Postgrad thesis students can find a list of thesis topics will be posted on the  Thesis A Moodle site . The student key to access the site will be sent out by the thesis co-ordinator to all students who will be taking thesis the following term. You should review the list and discuss the topics with the relevant supervisor to get an idea of what it entails. Students must include in their email to the supervisor, their CV and a cover letter explaining their topic interests and relevant background.

Once both the supervisor and student have agreed on the topic, a Thesis Nomination Form should be completed. This is submitted to the Thesis Coordinator and uploaded to the SOLA9451 Moodle site prior to the student commencing work on their topic. All students must have chosen a supervisor by 9am Monday week 1 of term.

You can develop your own thesis topic, if you can find a supervisor from within the School. This will require you to attach a one page description of the thesis topic and signed by the supervisor to the Thesis Nomination Form.

The School also encourages students who wish to do an industry-led thesis topic. In this case the mentor from industry would be the student’s co-supervisor, however an academic staff member from the School must act as the supervisor of the thesis.

For an industry-led thesis, you must obtain approval from an academic of the School to supervise the topic. You should submit a signed letter from the industry representative and academic supervisor with a brief outline of the project with a Thesis Nomination Form.

All information needed for the deliverables of thesis A can be found in the course outline which is available on the SOLA9451 Moodle site.

Each supervisor has a prescribed limit for how many students they are accepting. A table will be posted noting how many students each supervisor will take and how many students they have so far. Once a supervisor reaches their limit please look for someone else. You are not guaranteed a project with a supervisor unless you have a signed form.

• Schedule your appointment with your supervisor
• Get your thesis nomination form signed by your supervisor 

Postgraduate thesis FAQs

Depending on the thesis course you take, your topic may be provided to you or you will need to develop one.

If you need to develop one, most schools have a website that lists available topics and the staff willing to supervise those topics. You may wish to select a topic based on areas of engineering interest, extracurricular interests (such as the  ChallENG Projects ), or preference for working with a particular academic in your field.  You can even come up with your own in consultation with your thesis supervisor. Take a look! 

The process is different for each school, so review the information above.

If you still have questions, contact your school’s  Postgraduate Thesis Coordinator.

Projects based on current employment are highly encouraged. They must meet the requirements of advanced independent study and you must arrange a UNSW academic as (co-)supervisor. Finally, work-based projects must be approved by the  Thesis Coordinator   prior to enrolment.

Most schools have a Moodle, intranet, or web page with detailed information about their thesis program. That should be your next port of call – check your school’s section above for access instructions.

Schools often run information sessions during the year. These will be advertised via email, on social media and/or during class. Keep an eye out for these events.

The  Undergraduate Thesis page  has further answers to frequently asked thesis questions.

If you have questions related to enrolment or progression, contact the Nucleus.

Finally, each school has a  Thesis Coordinator  who can answer specific questions related to your personal circumstances.

Before submitting

The word limit is 65,000 words (including appendices, footnotes, tables and equations, but excluding the bibliography). It must not contain more than 150 figures. See  Word limits and requirements of your Degree Committee . If you need to increase your word limit, you must apply for permission via your CamSIS self-service account. Requests for more than 72,000 words will not be considered under any circumstances.

Additional Materials

Additional materials* are defined as materials created by the candidate which are integral to the thesis and essential for examination, but cannot be easily included in the main body of the thesis. Examples may include 3D models, simulations, video or audio recordings, hi-resolution images, or computer programmes. Additional materials are defined as materials created by the candidate which are integral to the thesis and essential for examination, but cannot be easily included in the main body of the thesis. Examples may include 3D models, simulations, video or audio recordings, hi-resolution images, or computer programmes.

If you need to include additional materials , you need permission to do so BEFORE submitting your thesis for examination.

*Please note that additional materials cannot be used to circumvent the thesis maximum word limit

Format and presentation

Please see the information on the  Cambridge Students website.

Your submission deadline

Your PhD thesis should be submitted before the last day of your fourth year of study. You can find your submission deadline on your CamSIS self-service account. The earliest date you can submit is the first day of your ninth term. We strongly advise students to aim to submit within ten terms, or by the end of their funding date, whichever is soonest . This will allow you some contingency time in case of unexpected delays.

Extensions can only be granted in limited circumstances (ie where you have experienced unforeseen delays); see  Extending your submission date . Please ensure that you read and follow the guidance carefully if you need to apply for an extension. If you do not submit by your deadline, you will be removed from the register of graduate students, which will result in you losing access to resources. However, if this happens, you will still be able to submit your thesis at a later date .

Preparing to submit

Four weeks before you intend to submit your thesis, please complete the online  Intention to Submit Form . After consulting with your supervisor, the GSO will arrange for your examiners to be appointed and your title approved. At this point the GSO will add you to the Moodle site so that you can submit your thesis when it is complete.

If you wish to notify examiners of any disability or request adjustments on account of such disability for your viva voce examination (either for your first year assessment or final examination), you can do this via your Degree Committee by completing and submitting the  voluntary disclosure form .

Where and what to submit

You should submit an electronic pdf copy of your thesis via the Engineering Degree Committee thesis submission   Moodle site. Please name the file "PhD_ Your CRSid.pdf" so that it is identifiable.

Providing examiners have been appointed, your thesis will be forwarded to the examiners within two days of receipt by the GSO. For details of where to submit your thesis and what paperwork to include, see  Submitting your Thesis .

After submitting

The oral examination (viva).

We will email you when your thesis has been forwarded to your examiners. You should expect to wait at least 8 weeks for your  oral examination . In most cases the viva will be between you and two examiners, usually one internal and one external.

After your oral examination, you may be asked to make some corrections to your thesis. If your examiners do not provide you with a list of corrections, please contact the GSO and we will arrange for a list to be sent to you.  When the corrections are complete, you should show them to your internal examiner (and/or your external examiner in some cases).

After the examination

Your examiners' reports will be considered at a meeting of the Engineering Degree Committee . Following this meeting, the Degree Committee will send their decision to the Student Registry. You will usually receive an email from the Student Registry within about a week of the Degree Committee meeting, informing you of the outcome, along with copies of your examiners' reports. In some cases, your examination paperwork will also need to be considered by the Postgraduate Committee (see 'Other outcomes' below).

No corrections needed, or corrections completed and approved before paperwork considered by Degree Committee

If you were not required to make any corrections, or you have already completed your corrections and they have been approved by your examiners before your paperwork is considered by the Degree Committee, then following the meeting you will receive an email from the Student Registry informing you to submit the hardbound and electronic copies of your thesis . In some cases where corrections have been completed, you may first receive notification that corrections are required, and then another email within a day or two to confirm that those have been completed and you can submit your hardbound and e-thesis.

Corrections required

Examiners can recommend that you need to complete some corrections  to your thesis. These can be either minor, which you will be given three months to complete, or major, which you will be given six months to complete. These timings start from the date that your examination paperwork is approved by the Degree Committee, and you will receive an email from the Student Registry informing you of the relevant timeframes following that meeting.

You remain on the register of graduate students during this period (unless your corrections are approved sooner), however the working restrictions for graduate students do not apply during this time. You should still apply for leave to work away if you are completing your corrections away from Cambridge. After completing your corrections, you should send them to your internal examiner to approve, who will then confirm to the Degree Committee, via the GSO, when they have done so. Approval of corrections does not need to go through any further committee meetings. The GSO will notify the Student Registry, who will then send you an email about submitting the hardbound and electronic copies of your thesis .

Other outcomes

Although the most common outcome is that corrections are required before you can be awarded a PhD (or occasionally an outright pass), it is also possible that you may be asked to Revise and Resubmit your thesis for a new examination. Alternatively, you may be offered the award of a lower degree, or in rare cases, outright failure is a possible outcome. You can find the full list of potential outcomes in the Code of Practice . If the Degree Committee wishes to recommend one of these outcomes, your examination results will need to be considered at a meeting of the University's Postgraduate Committee before a decision is agreed and notified to you. If your examination results are to be considered at a Postgraduate Committee meeting, you will be informed by the Student Registry after the Degree Committee meeting, 

After degree approval

After your PhD, including any corrections required, has been approved by the Degree Committee, you will be notified that you need to submit the hardbound copy of your thesis, as well as an electronic copy. You can find information about this, as well as what to do if you need to restrict or embargo your thesis, on the Cambridge Students website.

You can then make arrangements to attend a congregation, or have your degree awarded in absentia .

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a program of graduate study leading to the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree with thesis and non−thesis options.

Funded research opportunities exist for master's students in the following multidisciplinary centers, laboratories, and industry−sponsored programs. If you would like to see each of these research areas, please view the research areas using the navigation bar on the left.

Our requirements for the MS in Electrical Engineering degree are given as follows. Some of these requirements are university−wide and can also be found in the Texas Tech University Catalog under Graduate School .

Admission to master's study is restricted to applicants whose backgrounds show a distinguished record in previous work as evidenced by their university transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and competitive score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).

A substantial body of undergraduate work in electrical engineering and considerable breadth of background are essential for graduate study. Students whose undergraduate record is considered lacking in depth or breath may be required to complete preparatory courses without degree credit.

Leveling Requirements

Students who do not hold a bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering or a related field may be required to complete undergraduate leveling work. Required leveling courses generally follow the requirements for a minor in electrical engineering. A list of required courses is available on the electrical engineering minor web page.

Thesis & Non−Thesis Options

Students working toward the MSEE degree have the option of writing a thesis or taking additional courses. During their first semester, students must declare their option: thesis or non-thesis. Later, if desired, they may switch from the thesis to the non-thesis option with the permission of their thesis advisor, however thesis credit hours they may have earned will not count toward the non-thesis degree. Alternately, students may switch from the non-thesis to the thesis option with permission of the Graduate Advisor. Specific requirements for each option are as follows:

Thesis Option

• At most, 6 of the 24 hours may be non−ECE courses.
• At most, 3 of the 24 hours may be EE Individual−Study courses.
• 6 hours must be ECE 6000, Master's Thesis.
• Enroll in ECE 5120, Graduate Seminar every semester.
• ECE 5371 Engineering Analysis is required to be taken by all graduate students

Declared Minor

Students may choose, as an option, to divide their coursework between their major field of study, electrical engineering, and a minor field of study. Six or nine hours of coursework will be devoted to the minor, in the case of the thesis option or the non−thesis option, respectively. The courses will be taken in a department other then ECE, with the approval of the Graduate Advisors in both departments.

Degree Plan

Master's students must complete the form entitled "Program for the Master's Degree and Admission to Candidacy." This is typically done in a student's second semester. The form lists all of the courses that a student plans to take for the master's degree together with his or her thesis title and committee members names, if the thesis option is chosen. It is prepared by the student based on his or her special interests with the advice of the ECE Department Graduate Advisor and the student's thesis advisor. In some cases up to six credit hours of graduate coursework with a grade of B or better can be transferred from another school. The form must be signed by the ECE Department Graduate Advisor and by the Graduate Advisor of the minor department, if any. The student is expected to follow the form in subsequent course enrollments and thesis work; if a course substitution or thesis change becomes necessary, the form can be amended.

Fundamentals of Engineering Exam

Master's students must pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.

Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FE)

The nationally administered Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FE), also called the Engineer−in−Training (EIT) Examination, with the discipline−specific Electrical Engineering option. Students are required to provide evidence of the results of the examination to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Advisory Committee

Students who have selected the thesis option should find a thesis advisor as soon as possible. This is typically done in a student's second semester. When a thesis research topic has been determined, the members of an Advisory Committee, consisting of at least two faculty members of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and one member from the minor department if a minor has been declared, will be named. All must be members of the graduate faculty. The student may propose members for the committee and inquire regarding their willingness to serve.

A master's thesis describes independent work by the student conducted under the supervision of his or her committee. It is a document written in English following a format prescribed by the Graduate School of Texas Tech University. All members of the Advisory Committee must approve and sign the thesis.

Master students must deliver an oral presentation to their committee of their thesis work.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The Graduate School at Texas Tech University requires that graduate students maintain a semester grade−point average (GPA) of B (3.0) or better. A graduate student is placed on academic probation at the end of any semester in which his or her GPA falls below 3.0. In order to remove probationary status, a student must make a 3.0 GPA or better in the next semester in which he or she is enrolled. The minimum requirement for graduation is a GPA of 3.0 in the major field of study and an overall GPA of 3.0 in all courses, exclusive of thesis, in the degree program.

The minimum residence required for a master's degree is one academic year or its equivalent.

Work credited toward a master's degree must be completed within six years. Students whose graduate study is interrupted by military service will be granted an extension for the period of their service, up to five years.

Engineering applications of artificial intelligence in mechanical design and optimization.

1. Introduction

2. artificial intelligence and machine learning, 2.1. artificial intelligence, 2.1.1. goals of artificial intelligence.

• Solving knowledge-intensive tasks;
• Making the connection between perceptions and actions;
• Developing machines that can perform tasks that require human intelligence;
• Creating systems that can exhibit intelligent behavior, learn new things on their own, and demonstrate, explain, and advise their users [ 4 ].

2.1.2. Benefits of Artificial Intelligence

• Reducing the human error rate—in artificial intelligence, decisions are made from pre-collected information using a set of algorithms. As a result, errors are reduced to a minimum and the probability of achieving accuracy with a higher degree of accuracy increases rapidly.
• Risk transfer from people to AI—this is one of the greatest advantages of artificial intelligence. Many high-risk occupations can be overcome via the development of AI, which minimizes the risk of death or injury to humans. For example, a robot with AI can go to Mars, defuse a bomb, explore the deepest parts of the oceans, mine coal and oil, and be used effectively in any natural disasters.
• Continuous operation—the average person works 4–6 h a day without breaks. However, with artificial intelligence, we can ensure that machines work 24 h a day, 7 days a week, without any breaks; unlike humans, they do not even get bored.
• Automation of repetitive tasks—with the help of artificial intelligence, everyday tasks can be productively automated, even “boring” tasks for people can be removed and released so that they become more creative.
• Digital use—there are highly developed enterprises that engage with people through digital assistants, effectively conserving human resources. Digital assistants are also used on many websites, allowing users to talk with them about what they are looking for or need. Some chatbots are designed in a way that makes it difficult to discern whether the user is interacting with a chatbot or a human being.
• Faster decision-making—by using AI with other technologies, machines can make decisions and execute actions faster than humans. When making a decision, one will analyze many factors (both emotionally and factually), but a machine powered by artificial intelligence works according to how it is programmed and delivers results faster [ 5 ].

2.1.3. Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence

• High creation costs—AI is upgraded daily; hardware and software must be up to date to satisfy the most recent needs. Costly repairs and upkeep are required for machines and systems. Moreover, in general, the use of such technology is prohibitively expensive due to the complexity of its components and systems.
• Creating human laziness—artificial intelligence encourages laziness since its applications automate the majority of labor. People have a tendency to rely on these innovations, which might be problematic for future generations.
• Rising unemployment—as artificial intelligence is replacing the majority of repetitive chores and other forms of employment, human interaction is dwindling, which poses a significant concern for labor standards. Each firm aims to replace low-skilled workers with AI robots that are capable of performing the same tasks more efficiently.
• Absence of emotions—when it comes to job efficiency, robots are superior to humans, but they cannot replace the human relationships that comprise a team. Machines are incapable of forming relationships with people, which is a crucial skill for team management.
• Lack of thinking—the only jobs that machines and systems are capable of doing are those for which they were created or programmed to do. Anything beyond their designated functions may result in crashes or generate irrelevant outputs, which can present significant hurdles [ 5 ].

2.2. Machine Learning

2.2.1. the way machine learning works.

• Decision-making process: Machine learning techniques are often used for prediction or categorization. Based on particular input data, which may or may not be tagged, the algorithm estimates the data pattern.
• Error function: The error function is used to assess the model’s prediction. If examples are available, the error function may conduct a comparison to evaluate the model’s correctness.
• Model optimization process: If the model can be better suited to the training set’s data points, then the weights are modified to decrease the distance between the known example and the model prediction. The algorithm will continue this assessment and optimization process, updating the weights until a predetermined level of accuracy is attained [ 6 ].

2.2.2. Types of Machine Learning

• Supervised learning—this is defined by the use of tagged datasets (see Figure 2 ) to train algorithms to accurately classify data or predict results. As input data are entered into the model, the weights are adjusted until the model fits properly. This is done as part of the cross-validation process to ensure that the model avoids over- or under-adaptation. Supervised learning helps organizations address a variety of real-world issues, such as classifying spam into separate inboxes. Methods used in this type of learning include neural networks, naive Bayes, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, and more.
• Unsupervised learning—analyzes and aggregates untagged datasets using machine learning methods (see Figure 3 ). These algorithms discover hidden patterns or data clusters without requiring human participation. Unsupervised learning is suitable for exploratory data analysis, cross-selling techniques, consumer segmentation, and picture and pattern identification, as it can identify similarities and contrasts in information. In unsupervised learning, other algorithms include neural networks, k-means clustering, probabilistic clustering approaches, etc. For example, principal component analysis (PCA) and singular value decomposition (SVD) are two commonly used methods of unsupervised learning; they are used for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction.
• Semi-supervised Learning—this represents the middle ground between learning with and without a teacher. During training, it uses a smaller set of labeled data to guide the classification and extraction of symptoms from a larger, unmarked dataset. Partially supervised learning (see Figure 4 ) can solve the problem of the lack of tagged data (or the inability to afford to tag enough data) to train a supervised learning algorithm [ 6 ].
• Reinforcement learning—this involves taking the proper steps to maximize compensation in a given circumstance. It is used by software and robots to determine the optimal behavior or course of action in a given circumstance. In supervised learning, the training data include the solution key, so the model is trained with the right answer alone, but in rewarded learning (see Figure 5 ), there is no response and no learning; the system determines how to complete the job. In the absence of a training set, the system is compelled to gain knowledge by experience [ 7 ].

2.3. Deep Learning

2.3.1. neural networks, 2.3.2. biological neural networks, 2.3.3. artificial neural networks, 2.3.4. architecture of artificial neural networks.

• Forward neural network—in this paradigm, signals flow in just one way, from the input layer to the output layer. Power grids consist of an input layer, an output layer, and zero or more concealed layers. They are used extensively in pattern recognition.
• Recurrent neural network—in this paradigm, recurrent networks process a succession of inputs by using their internal states (memory). In these networks, signals may propagate in both ways via network loops (hidden layer/hidden layers). Typically, they are employed for time series and sequential activities [ 10 ].

2.3.5. Layer Interconnection in a Neural Network

2.3.6. the process of learning the deep neural network.

• Hebb’s rule was the first rule of learning. In 1949, Donald Hebb developed it as a learning algorithm for an uncontrolled neural network. Hebb’s rule of learning assumes that if two neighboring neurons are activated and deactivated at the same time, then the weight connecting those neurons should increase. In the case of neurons operating in the opposite phase, the weight between them should be reduced. If there is no signal correlation, the weight should not change. If the inputs of both nodes are either positive or negative, then there is a strong positive weight between the nodes. If the input of one node is positive and the other is negative, there is a strong negative weight between the nodes. Initially, the values of all weights are set to zero. This learning rule can be used for both soft and hard activation functions. Since the required neuronal responses are not used in the learning process, this is the rule of uncontrolled learning. Absolute weight values are usually proportional to the learning time, which is undesirable. The mathematical notation of Hebb’s rule in neural network learning is as follows: W i j = x i ∗ x j (2)
• Perceptron learning rule—each connection in a neural network has an assigned weight that changes during learning. According to the example of supervised learning, the network begins its learning by assigning a random value to each weight. The output value is calculated on the basis of a set of records for which the expected output value can be known. This is a sample of learning that denotes the whole definition. As a result, it is called a learning sample. The network then compares the calculated output value with the expected value. It then calculates the error function, which can be the sum of the squared errors occurring for each individual in the learning sample [ 11 ]. The mathematical notation of perceptron learning rules in the neural network is as follows: ∑ i ∑ j ( E i j − O i j ) 2 (3) E i j and O i j represent the predicted and actual values of the j th unit for the i th person, respectively. The network then modifies the weights of the individual units and determines whether the error function has risen or reduced at each iteration. Similar to normal regression, this is a solution to the issue of least squares.
• Delta learning rule—this is one of the most prevalent learning principles. It requires guided instruction. This rule states that the change in the sympathetic weight of a node is proportional to a multiple of the mistake and input. Mathematical notation of the Delta rule in a neural network [ 11 ]: Δ w = η ( t − y ) x (4) The output vector that corresponds to the right answer for a particular input vector is compared. If the difference is zero, there is no learning; otherwise, the algorithm changes its weights to lower it. The Delta learning rule may be used for both a single output unit and many output units. With this rule, one must presume that the mistake can be directly measured. The objective of using the delta rule is to minimize the error-causing disparity between the actual and predicted output [ 11 ].
• The correlation rule of learning is founded on a similar basis to Hebb’s rule. Hebb hypothesizes that the weights between responding neurons should be more positive, whilst the weights between neurons with the opposite response should be more negative. The correlation rule, unlike Hebb’s rule, involves supervised learning. In mathematical form, the correlation rule of learning is as follows: Δ w i j = η x i d j (5) where d j is the desired value of the output signal. This training algorithm usually starts with initializing the weights to zero [ 11 ].
• The Outstar learning rule is utilized when there is an assumption that nodes or neurons in the network are organized in layers. In this case, the scales linked to a certain node should correspond to the needed outputs for the neurons connected through these scales. Outstar provides the necessary response for the n-node layer. In mathematical form, Outstar learning is as follows [ 11 ]: W j k = η ( y k − w j k ) 0 (6)

2.4. Machine Learning and Deep Learning

• Data consumption—DL requires a large number of labeled samples to be successful. However, the amount of data alone is not enough; they must be of the right quality, i.e., properly labeled. Not all data collected are flagged, labeled correctly, or in a manner appropriate for the DL. Such data are not always publicly available. In this case, data labeling needs to be done, which is time-consuming and costly and often requires a defined and rigorous set of procedures, quality control, and expertise. Unfortunately, this fact and its impact on the usefulness of DL for real problems are often downplayed in DL discussions.
• Specific hardware—the training phase of DL systems usually requires specialized hardware, such as graphics processing units (GPUs), in order to reduce the execution time to a manageable level, i.e., hours, days, or weeks, compared to years. These systems, although they are becoming cheaper, are still expensive compared to the needs of simpler ML kits.
• Specification extraction is the process of incorporating domain knowledge into the creation of extractors of individual specifications in order to reduce data complexity and make patterns for learning algorithms visible. This process is time-consuming and expensive. Figure 8 presents an example of a specification extraction difference between DL and ML.
• Application—in terms of time, hardware, and data, DL is more costly. In conclusion, it can be claimed that deep learning and machine learning are most effective when employed in accordance with the conditions listed in Table 1 [ 12 ].

Design, Analysis, and Fabrication of Lattice Structures for Structural and Thermal Applications

  Designing lightweight, stiff, and thermally compliant structures is an ongoing challenge  in various engineering industries, especially within aerospace. Aircraft and spacecraft are  designed to withstand extreme structural loads and thermal changes with the minimum  amount of weight possible. Advances in computational design and analysis, as well  as metal additive manufacturing (AM), have created new opportunities to design and  fabricate complex structures for loading conditions seen on aircraft and spacecraft.  

This thesis explores the application of lattice structures to various structural and thermal  aerospace applications, analyzes them under their respective loading conditions, and the  utilization of metal AM to fabricate many of the designs. Using unique lattice generation  methods and bimetallic lattice unit cell designs, multiple components and processes are  created to advance the adoption of AM for complex structures in the aerospace field.  

A lattice generation method based on the bubble-mesh method is used to create tetra hedral lattice structures with the ability to alter the following geometric parameters:  the cell size/lattice density, strut diameter, and intersection rounding. A relationship  between these parameters is evaluated and it is found that the strut diameter and  intersection rounding have the greatest structural effects on the lattice. These findings  are then used to apply these lattice structures to various aerospace components such as a  jet engine bracket, airplane bearing bracket, and an optical instrument mounting bracket.  The FEA results show that the latticed designs can withstand their respective loading  conditions. Additionally, latticed cubes are created using this lattice generation method  to understand their optimal printability. FEA is used again to explore the structural  and thermal behavior of the latticed cubes during the metal AM process. The latticed  vi  cubes are additively manufactured and will be scanned to validate the FEA results.  

The lattice generation method is then used to re-design a payload adapter to explore  a self-consuming spacecraft concept. The lattice is used to reduce the weight of the  structure, but the gaps of the lattice will be filled with propellant so it can be extracted  and used as fuel during a satellite mission. This work focuses on the structural integrity  of the latticed payload adapter, and simulations are used to understand its structural  behavior. It is then additively manufactured and tested under compression to validate  the simulations. Finally, a separate bimetallic triangular lattice unit cell is designed,  analyzed, and tested to explore bimetallic AM for fabricating controllable coefficient of  thermal expansion (CTE) structures. These bimetallic structures are created so that  their geometry and CTE of their respective materials minimize their expansion in a  specified direction. Computational and analytical models are developed to describe  this behavior, and multi-material/bimetallic AM is used to create these structures.  The structures will then undergo CTE testing and the results are used to validate the  computational and analytical models.

Final Program Requirements: Graduate Project or Thesis

The graduate thesis.

Qualified students may pursue the Thesis Option (LArc 500: 7 credits), rather than the Graduate Project; or may elect to pursue the Thesis Option after they complete and defend their Graduate Project. (This option provides the student the opportunity to create a publishable journal article with the Major Professor or engage in further documentation and exploration of the Graduate Project topic.) Students must have completed an approved Research Methods course prior to beginning the their thesis.

The Thesis Proposal

The proposal for the Thesis topic is developed with the student’s Major Professor and begins with the submission of a simple one-two page document addressing the Thesis Topic, Thesis Question, Thesis Motive or Rationale, Research Methodology or Strategies and Application, Ultimately the students produces a multiple page document that also includes a Literature Search and Bibliography. Individual Major Professor’s may specify other components. (MLA students will benefit from reading Landscape Architecture Research, Inquiry, Strategy, Design , Deming and Swaffield, Wiley Press, 2011.)

University of Idaho Thesis Guidelines and Format

There are specific guidelines published by the College of Graduate Studies (Thesis Dissertation Handbook) that detail the timeline, process and final format for the Graduate Thesis. Students must conform to these if they choose the MLA Thesis Option. The following forms with instructions are available at www.uidaho.edu/cogs/forms :

• Authorization to Submit Thesis or Dissertation
• Appointment of Major Professor and/or Committee Form
• Request to Proceed with Final Defense 
• Committee Change
• Thesis/Dissertation Handbook

Thesis Defense

Deadlines and products for the Thesis Defense are outlined in the College of Graduate Studies Student Handbook. In addition to these requirements each student must schedule a defense of the thesis and deliver a presentation that communicates the overall thesis question, process and conclusions. Each student must also produce an “E” size poster for the purposes of display that includes at the minimum: an Abstract, Thesis Problem Statement, description of Research Methods and Process, Research Conclusions, Application and Selected Bibliography and Glossary of Terms.

The Graduate Project

Students pursuing the graduate project option must have completed at least two of the four MLA graduate studios as well as an approved Research Methods course. The Graduate Project is developed with advising from the student’s Major Professor and typically includes a design application component that demonstrates how the student’s research impacts design process and product. Often the graduate project develops from work in preceding graduate studios, addressing and researching specific issues in greater detail. Emphasis is placed not only on the theoretical framework of the project, the quality of the design project but also the effective communication of the project.

The Graduate Project Proposal

The proposal for the Graduate Project topic is developed with the student’s Major Professor and begins with the submission of a simple one-two page document addressing the project Topic, important questions and issues, rationale, methodology and design application, Ultimately the students produces a multiple page document that also includes a Literature Search and Bibliography. Individual Major Professor’s may specify other components. (MLA students will benefit from reading Landscape Architecture Research, Inquiry, Strategy, Design , Deming and Swaffield, Wiley Press, 2011.)

Graduate Project Defense and Submission

Deadlines and products for the Graduate Defense typically follow those of the Thesis Option. Individual Major Professors may require specific products or the defense of the graduate project however each student is required to schedule a defense and deliver a presentation that communicates the overall objectives of the graduate project and demonstrates successful application of the student’s research. Each student must also produce an “E” size poster for the purposes of display that includes at the minimum: an abstract, problem statement, description of research methods and process, research conclusions, design application, selected Bibliography and Glossary of Terms.

Machine Learning Models for Computational Structural Mechanics

The numerical simulation of physical systems plays a key role in different fields of science and engineering. The popularity of numerical methods stems from their ability to simulate complex physical phenomena for which analytical solutions are only possible for limited combinations of geometry, boundary, and initial conditions. Despite their flexibility, the computational demand of classical numerical methods quickly escalates as the size and complexity of the model increase. To address this limitation, and motivated by the unprecedented success of Deep Learning (DL) in computer vision, researchers started exploring the possibility of developing computationally efficient DL-based algorithms to simulate the response of complex systems. To date, DL techniques have been shown to be effective in simulating certain physical systems. However, their practical application faces an important common constraint: trained DL models are limited to a predefined set of configurations. Any change to the system configuration (e.g., changes to the domain size or boundary conditions) entails updating the underlying architecture and retraining the model. It follows that existing DL-based simulation approaches lack the flexibility offered by classical numerical methods. An important constraint that severely hinders the widespread application of these approaches to the simulation of physical systems.

In an effort to address this limitation, this dissertation explores DL models capable of combining the conceptual flexibility typical of a numerical approach for structural analysis, the finite element method, with the remarkable computational efficiency of trained neural networks. Specifically, this dissertation introduces the novel concept of “Finite Element Network Analysis” (FENA), a physics-informed, DL-based computational framework for the simulation of physical systems. FENA leverages the unique transfer knowledge property of bidirectional recurrent neural networks to provide a uniquely powerful and flexible computing platform. In FENA, each class of physical systems (for example, structural elements such as beams and plates) is represented by a set of surrogate DL-based models. All classes of surrogate models are pre-trained and available in a library, analogous to the finite element method, alleviating the need for repeated retraining. Another remarkable characteristic of FENA is the ability to simulate assemblies built by combining pre-trained networks that serve as surrogate models of different components of physical systems, a functionality that is key to modeling multicomponent physical systems. The ability to assemble pre-trained network models, dubbed network concatenation , places FENA in a new category of DL-based computational platforms because, unlike existing DL-based techniques, FENA does not require ad hoc training for problem-specific conditions.

While FENA is highly general in nature, this work focuses primarily on the development of linear and nonlinear static simulation capabilities of a variety of fundamental structural elements as a benchmark to demonstrate FENA's capabilities. Specifically, FENA is applied to linear elastic rods, slender beams, and thin plates. Then, the concept of concatenation is utilized to simulate multicomponent structures composed of beams and plate assemblies (stiffened panels). The capacity of FENA to model nonlinear systems is also shown by further applying it to nonlinear problems consisting in the simulation of geometrically nonlinear elastic beams and plastic deformation of aluminum beams, an extension that became possible thanks to the flexibility of FENA and the intrinsic nonlinearity of neural networks. The application of FENA to time-transient simulations is also presented, providing the foundation for linear time-transient simulations of homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems. Specifically, the concepts of Super Finite Network Element (SFNE) and network concatenation in time are introduced. The proposed concepts enable training SFNEs based on data available in a limited time frame and then using the trained SFNEs to simulate the system evolution beyond the initial time window characteristic of the training dataset. To showcase the effectiveness and versatility of the introduced concepts, they are applied to the transient simulation of homogeneous rods and inhomogeneous beams. In each case, the framework is validated by direct comparison against the solutions available from analytical methods or traditional finite element analysis. Results indicate that FENA can provide highly accurate solutions, with relative errors below 2 % for the cases presented in this work and a clear computational advantage over traditional numerical solution methods. 

The consistency of the performance across diverse problem settings substantiates the adaptability and versatility of FENA. It is expected that, although the framework is illustrated and numerically validated only for selected classes of structures, the framework could potentially be extended to a broad spectrum of structural and multiphysics applications relevant to computational science.
