Tao, Hongyu (author), Zhang, P. (author)Wheel-rail impact, which arises from structural discontinuities and short-wave defects, becomes more serious with higher train speeds and larger axle loads. The large impact load can accelerate the deterioration of vehicle-track components and induce a high level of impact noise. This paper aims to better understand the characteristics of...journal article 2022

Tao, T. (author), Roy, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)This work introduces a new single-stage adaptive controller for Euler-Lagrange systems with nonholonomic constraints. The proposed mechanism provides a simpler design philosophy compared to double-stage mechanisms (that address kinematics and dynamics in two steps), while achieving analogous stability properties, i.e. stability of both original...conference paper 2022

(author)Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Myocardial infarction (MI) represents a third of all IHD cases, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used to assess its damage to myocardial viability. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is the current gold standard, but the use of gadolinium-based...conference paper 2022

Song, R. (author), Wen, Yuanqiao (author), Tao, Wei (author), Zhang, Qi (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Ship behavior is the semantic expression of corresponding trajectory in spatial-temporal space. The intelligent identification of ship behavior is critical for safety supervision in the waterborne transport. In particular, the complicated behavior reflects the long-term intentions of a ship, but it is challenging to recognize it automatically...journal article 2022

Tao, N. (author), Anisimov, A. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)This study aims at improving shearography non-destructive testing (NDT) of deep defects in thick composites with thermal loading. Instead of conventional global heating (GH), the core idea is to apply novel spatially modulated heating (SMH) for shearography NDT. In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) has been used to advance...journal article 2022

Yang, C. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Huang, Lu (author), Xia, Liming (author), Tao, Q. (author)Quantitative MRI (qMRI) of the heart has become an important clinical tool for examining myocardial tissue properties. Because heart is a moving object, it is usually imaged with electrocardiogram and respiratory gating during acquisition, to “freeze” its motion. In reality, gating is more-often-than-not imperfect given the heart rate...conference paper 2022
