SUMMARY:Learning governing equations of weakly nonlinear oscillators by machine learning
DESCRIPTION:The next appointment in the PhDTalks seminar series will take place on Wednesday\, January 11th\, 2026\, in Grandori Room (Building 4)\, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions among PhD candidates. The events aim to provide a space for networking among doctoral students and for engaging with the many projects developed within our department. \nThe speaker Teng Ma will deliver a seminar entitled “Learning governing equations of weakly nonlinear oscillators by machine learning” \nAt the end of the event\, a light refreshment will be offered\, sponsored by the department. \nThe seminar will also be accessible online at the following link. \nAbstract\nWeakly nonlinear oscillators are fundamental to a wide range of physical systems. While linear models are often used for simplicity\, the long-term stability and evolution of these systems are frequently governed by subtle nonlinearities. In structural engineering and beyond\, characterizing these weakly nonlinear signatures from data remains a significant challenge due to their small magnitude compared to the dominant linear response.\nWe introduce EvLOWN\, a data-driven methodology designed to autonomously discover the governing equations of weakly nonlinear oscillators from sparse and noisy observations. After validating its robustness on benchmark systems\, we demonstrate EvLOWN’s versatility through diverse high-impact applications: from reconstructing the orbital dynamics of the Tiangong and International Space Stations to capturing the precise equations of motion for complex vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) from wind-tunnel experimental data. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nTeng is currently a double PhD candidate in Civil Engineering at Tongji University and Structural Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. His research focuses on AI for Engineering Systems\, with a specialization in data-driven dynamical system identification. He conceptualized and developed an interpretable scientific machine learning framework for governing-law discovery\, with successful applications in fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and MEMS devices. Related researches are published on Structure and Infrastructure Engineering\, Physics of Fluids\, Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics etc.\nIn his spare time\, Teng enjoys singing\, boxing\, running and hiking in the mountains.

SUMMARY:Life-Cycle Engineering of Coastal Infrastructure Systems under Multiple Hazards - Integrating Experiments\, Modeling\, and Data-Driven Approaches for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 20 febbraio si terrà un seminario intitolato “Life-Cycle Engineering of Coastal Infrastructure Systems under Multiple Hazards – Integrating Experiments\, Modeling\, and Data-Driven Approaches for Resilience“\, che avrà luogo in Aula Grandori (Edificio 4) alle ore 14:30 CET. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto da Mitsuyoshi Akiyama\, Professore di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale presso la Waseda University di Tokyo\, Giappone. \n\nAbstract \nThis presentation introduces a life-cycle engineering framework for coastal infrastructure systems that integrates structural experiments\, numerical modeling\, machine learning\, and spatial representation of uncertainty to support resilient system development under multiple hazards. The research aims to connect physical understanding of structural behavior with system level risk and resilience assessment over the entire service life. \nStructural experiments and numerical simulations provide insight into damage mechanisms\, performance variability\, and failure progression under extreme events. These results are complemented by data driven and machine learning-based techniques that support efficient modeling\, uncertainty representation\, and large-scale system evaluation. Spatial modeling is used to capture correlations and interactions among infrastructure components and hazards across coastal regions. \nBy integrating these approaches within a life-cycle perspective\, the framework enables consistent evaluation of risk\, functionality loss\, and recovery of coastal infrastructure systems subjected to interacting hazards such as earthquakes\, tsunamis\, environmental deterioration\, and long-term climate-related effects. The presentation demonstrates how the combination of experiments\, modeling\, and learning contributes to the development of more resilient coastal infrastructure systems and cities. \n\nSpeaker’s bio \nMitsuyoshi Akiyama is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Waseda University. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from Tohoku University and previously served as Assistant and Associate Professor there before joining Waseda University in 2011. He has held visiting academic appointments at Lehigh University and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. His research addresses life-cycle engineering of coastal infrastructure systems under multiple hazards\, integrating experiments\, modeling\, data-driven approaches\, and probabilistic assessment of risk and resilience. Dr. Akiyama has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and currently serves as Managing Editor of Structure and Infrastructure Engineering and Associate Editor of the Journal of Bridge Engineering. He is a Fellow of SEI and serves as Chair of IABSE Commission 6 on Sustainability. He is also an Executive Committee Member of IABMAS and IALCCE\, and an Executive Board Member of IASSAR.

SUMMARY:Reliability Assessment of Structures and Infrastructure Systems Subjected to Extreme Hazards in a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 23 febbraio si terrà un seminario intitolato “Reliability Assessment of Structures and Infrastructure Systems Subjected to Extreme Hazards in a Changing Climate”\, che avrà luogo in Aula Grandori (Edificio 4) alle ore 14:30 CET. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto da Michel Ghosn\, Professore di Ingegneria Civile presso il City College della City University of New York (CUNY). \nAbstract \nCivil infrastructure systems are exposed to various types of human-made\, environmental\, and climatic hazards within their service lives. Reliability-based approaches and probabilistic risk-informed methods have long been used for assessing the safety of such systems and developing design standards and specifications to account for the random nature of these hazards\, their intensities\, rates of occurrence\, and possible compounding effects.  Specifically\, current design standards provide reliability-calibrated design load maps and tables as well as load combination factors for use in engineering practice during a structure’s safety assessment process.  These maps and associated procedures are based on historical data assuming that the underlying climatic processes are unchanging over time and that observed variations in the historical data are only random oscillations around underlying stationary statistical properties.  However\, ageing processes\, growth in economic activities\, and climate change are causing increases in the frequencies and intensities of human-made and environmental hazards\, raising the risk to infrastructure systems and their users.  This presentation will review the fundamental principles behind structural code developments and their underlying assumptions. It also examines analytical methods to assess the safety of structural systems accounting for the nonstationary nature of climatic hazards. The presentation will describe approaches for adjusting current structural design specifications in view of anticipated climate change scenarios.  Numerical examples will illustrate the application of these approaches for the safety assessment and the design of structural systems. \n\nSpeaker’s bio \nProf. Ghosn’s expertise is in the risk assessment and the reliability analysis of civil structure and infrastructure systems. He has worked on the development of criteria and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) procedures for quantifying bridge redundancy which formed the basis for the system factors recommended in the current American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Manual for Bridge Evaluation (MBE). He has also worked on developing models for the design of bridges for extreme events including seismic\, wind\, ship collisions and scour and their combinations. His work on the development of live load models for highway bridges led to the implementation of the current permit load factors in the AASHTO MBE. These models have also been widely applied in bridge engineering practice and adopted by researchers and practicing engineers world-wide. Professor Ghosn is currently serving on several American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) committees working on developing procedures for accounting for the effects of climate change during the design and safety assessment of buildings and other structures.  Prof. Ghosn’s overall accomplishments have been recognized through several awards from american and international engineering research and professional associations.
