Ma, Xiaochuan (author), Wang, L. (author), Xu, Jinhui (author), Feng, Qingsong (author), Liu, Linya (author), Chen, Huapeng (author)Based on ordinary state-based peridynamic theory, a 2D peridynamic model has been established to investigate fatigue crack propagation in railheads. The proposed model is verified in terms of rail deformation under a quasi-static load and the ductile material-related fatigue failure model. Good agreements have been achieved between a finite...journal article 2022

Chang, X. (author), Wu, Jianjun (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Sun, Huijun (author), Feng, Ziyan (author)Carsharing has become a popular travel mode owing to its convenience of use, easy parking, and low cost of using a car by those who only need it occasionally. However, because of the inadequate location of carsharing stations (station-based systems) or vehicles (free-floating systems), effectively requiring expensive and complex relocation...journal article 2022

(author)In the past 20 years, many studies have been performed on ballast layer inspection and condition evaluation with ground penetrating radar (GPR). GPR is a non-destructive means that can reflect the ballast layer condition (fouling, moisture) by analysing the received signal variation. Even though GPR detection/inspection for ballast layers has...review 2022
