Liu, Minne (author), Li, Wenyu (author), Chen, Wei (author), Ibrahim, Mesfin S. (author), Xiong, Jingkang (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, Jiajie (author)During the operation of an LED array, its thermal and optical performances are always not equal to the superposition of the individual LED's characteristics because of a significant thermal coupling effect between the arrays. Based on this, this paper proposes an electrical–photo-thermal model, with considering both junction temperature and...journal article 2024

Li, Tianzhi (author), Chen, Jian (author), Yuan, Shenfang (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Sbarufatti, Claudio (author), Cadini, Francesco (author)Fatigue damage prognosis always requires a degradation model describing the damage evolution with time; thus, the prognostic performance highly depends on the selection of such a model. The best model should probably be case specific, calling for the fusion of multiple degradation models for a robust prognosis. In this context, this paper...journal article 2024
