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

Zhai, X. (author), Wang, Weiming (author), Chen, Falai (author), Wu, J. (author)Recent years have seen a growing interest in topology optimization of functionally graded microstructures, characterized by an array of microstructures with varying volume fractions. However, microstructures optimized at slightly different volume fractions do not necessarily connect well when placed adjacently. Furthermore, optimization is...journal article 2024

Gu, Lipeng (author), Yan, Xuefeng (author), Nan, L. (author), Zhu, Dingkun (author), Chen, Honghua (author), Wang, Weiming (author), Wei, Mingqiang (author)The conventional wisdom in point cloud analysis predominantly explores 3D geometries. It is often achieved through the introduction of intricate learnable geometric extractors in the encoder or by deepening networks with repeated blocks. However, these methods contain a significant number of learnable parameters, resulting in substantial...journal article 2024

Chen, Zhaowei (author), Wan, Fangshuang (author), He, C. (author)To maximize the use of urban land, many cities have built buildings above metro depots. However, the low-frequency vibration caused by metro operation affects the lives of surrounding residents, which seriously restricts the further development of over-track buildings. To study this problem, Firstly, the vibration of the metro depot and...journal article 2024

(author)Subjective scales are frequently used in the design process of head-related products to assess pressure discomfort. Nevertheless, some users lack fundamental cognitive and motor abilities (e.g., paralyzed patients). Therefore, it is vital to find non-verbal measurements of pressure discomfort and pressure pain. This study gathered the autonomic...journal article 2024
