Numerical modelling of track-ground response induced by train passage
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2020-03)The global railway network is undergoing rapid expansion, with train vehicles becoming faster. Increases to operational train speed mean that it is more likely vehicles will induce larger dynamic effects within the supporting ... -
Urbanisation, housing demand and densification : a case study of Shenyang, China
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2020-08)Since the 1990s, China has experienced rapid urbanisation, shifting a massive amount of the rural population into cities. Such urbanisation not only boosts urban economies but also has the potential to enhance people’s ... -
A systematic investigation of sulphide scale formation and inhibition
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2020-01)This thesis presents an investigation of the formation, inhibition and interaction of iron sulphide (FeS), zinc sulphide (ZnS) and lead sulphide (PbS) scales. Several scale inhibitors were tested for their inhibition ... -
Multi-fidelity deep residual recurrent neural networks for uncertainty quantification
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2019-02)Effective propagation of uncertainty through a nonlinear dynamical system is an essential task for a number of engineering applications. One viable probabilistic approach to propagate the uncertainty from the high ... -
Older people’s everyday life and well-being at the local high street : a study of local town centres in Edinburgh
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2020-07)For many older people, ageing in place in a familiar environment is beneficial for their well-being, through having opportunities to access local amenities and services, to be connected to the community and to participate ...
