The proposed research will be conducted in three stages. In the first stage, the computational intelligence based smart condition monitoring methodology will be further expanded and improved and the associated software will be developed. The development and testing of fiber optic detection systems will take place in the second state of the proposed research. In the last phase of the proposed research the smart condition monitoring system and fiber optics system will be tested in the structural laboratory on a scale model of a railway. The goal of this project is to develop a finite-element method using vector elements for electromagnetic analysis of electronic devices, circuits, antennas, and radar scattering.
Special emphasis is on the method's accuracy, efficiency, and versatility.
Both frequency and time-domain methods will be investigated and their performance will be evaluated.
