Yang, Y. (author), Huang, Mo (author), Du, S. (author), Martins, Rui P. (author), Lu, Yan (author)High-frequency buck converters need a fast transition of switching nodes (high dv/dt). Such high dv/dt, especially the positive one, can cause malfunction of a conventional pulse-triggered active-coupled (PTAC) level shifter that is used to control the high-side NMOS switch. In this work, we first discuss the dv/dt immunity of conventional PTAC...journal article 2023

Huang, M. (author), Vijaykumar Patil, Yugandhar (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author)Wakes and wake interactions in wind turbine arrays diminish energy output and raise the risk of structural fatigue; hence, comprehending the features of rotor–wake interactions is of practical relevance. Previous studies suggest that vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) can facilitate a quicker wake recovery. This study experimentally...journal article 2023

Zeng, Cheng (author), Huang, Jinsong (author), Wang, H. (author), Xie, Jiawei (author), Zhang, Yuting (author)Reliable estimation of rail useful lifetime can provide valuable information for predictive maintenance in railway systems. However, in most cases, lifetime data is incomplete because not all pieces of rail experience failure by the end of the study horizon, a problem known as censoring. Ignoring or otherwise mistreating the censored cases...journal article 2023
