The Structural Design and Analysis Centre focuses on structural optimisation, including topological optimisation and size optimisation, and structural integrity, including damage detection by AI/ML and fibre-reinforced concrete impact studies. We are also studying the ground landmine detection by AI/ML and the analytical modeling for seismic wave propagation. Our approach is extremely inter-disciplinary.
