Kai, Zheng, and Hao’s Work on Rail Profile Design Published in Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit

Journal of Rail and Rapid Transport

High-speed electric multiple units have numerous advantages. However, a number of critical maintenance issues arise in the operation of high-speed electric multiple units. The previous researches about rail profile design usually take only a single type of wheel profile into account, which would cause some other problems such as severe increase of Continue Reading »

Kai, Zheng, and Hao’s Work on Multi-body Dynamics Modeling Published in VSD

VSD cover

High-speed electric multiple units (EMUs) have been popularized rapidly all around the world and have become a major transportation method. The working mechanism of rail grinding has not been investigated theoretically. This study develops flexible car body and human body models based on the rigid-flexible coupled method to systematically study the effects Continue Reading »

Yuhang’s Work on Spatial Modeling Published in ASME JMSE

AMSE Cover

High-resolution spatial data are essential for characterizing and monitoring surface quality in manufacturing. However, the measurement of high-resolution spatial data is generally expensive and time-consuming. Interpolation based on spatial models is a typical approach to cost-effectively acquire high-resolution data. Conventional modeling methods fail to adequately model the spatial correlation induced by periodicity, Continue Reading »
