Eligibility

General entry requirements for Master's level (second cycle)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Specific entry requirements

English 6 (or by other approved means with the equivalent proficiency level)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Course specific prerequisites

At least one course on advanced level that combines mechanics and programming (Matlab/Python). Examples of this can be: Structural dynamics TME141, Computational fluid dynamics MTF073, Finite element structures TME245, Compressible flow TME085, Rigid body dynamics MMA092 or Material mechanics MHA043.

Aim

The course includes evaluation and application of machine learning and data-driven modelling for problems in mechanics, solid mechanics and fluid dynamics.


Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • Explain fundamental concepts of different types of machine learning.
  • Describe and implement algorithms for machine learning.
  • Apply deep learning techniques to supervised tasks.
  • Explain, implement and use physics informed neural networks for solving problems in mechanics, solid mechanics and fluid dynamics.
  • Apply machine learning and data driven modelling in mechanics, solid mechanics and fluid dynamics.

Content

Fundamental concepts in machine learning, optimization techniques, regularization, neural networks, training a network, activation functions, automatic differentiation, surrogate models, physics-informed neural networks, data-driven inference, data-driven identification, deep energy method, uncertainty quantifications in experiments and simulations, reduced-order modelling, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Support vector machines (SVM), Python programming, PyTorch.

Organisation

Lectures, problem solving sessions and supervision. Supervised projects where machine learning and data driven modelling are applied to material mechanics, fluid dynamics and dynamics. The choice of project is decided by background and interest of the student.

Examination including compulsory elements

To pass the course the student must be passed on the project and on the exam. The grade is determined by the exam.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
