Sun, H. (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Resilience is an emergent property of a system, which changes with various internal and external factors. Resilience is also a hidden property of a system that cannot be observed. Thus, experiments should be performed for a given system to measure its resilience. However, physical experiments are practically impossible. Inspired by the tensile...journal article 2022

Sun, Zhu (author), Yang, J. (author), Feng, Kaidong (author), Fang, Hui (author), Qu, Xinghua (author), Ong, Yew Soon (author)Product bundling is a commonly-used marketing strategy in both offline retailers and online e-commerce systems. Current research on bundle recommendation is limited by: (1) noisy datasets, where bundles are defined by heuristics, e.g., products co-purchased in the same session; and (2) specific tasks, holding unrealistic assumptions, e.g.,...conference paper 2022

Wei, Zilong (author), Sun, Xianfu (author), Yang, Fei (author), Ke, Zaitian (author), Lu, Tao (author), Zhang, P. (author), Shen, C. (author)The presence of rail corrugation enlarges the wheel-rail impact and exacerbates the failure of track components, and the situation becomes even worse under high train speed, which promotes the urgent need for an efficient and easily accessible inspection method. Conventional diagnosis approaches such as axle box acceleration (ABA) and image...journal article 2022

Sun, H. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Chemical process systems involve complex dynamic processes, and the state of the system often fluctuates during the production process. To ensure the continuation of production, these fluctuations are often ignored or processed online instead of shutting down the unit. However, the interdependence between components in the system is strong, and...journal article 2022

Yang, Yapin (author), Sun, Ying (author), Chen, Mingsi (author), Zhou, Yuekuan (author), Wang, Ran (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author)Fire at a construction site usually results in serious accidents. Therefore, fire management at the construction site is critical to decreasing possible accidents. However, conventional fire safety management can be problematic in many aspects, such as visualization, multi-stage alarm systems, and dynamic escape route optimization. To solve...journal article 2022

Yang, Fei (author), Wei, Zilong (author), Sun, Xianfu (author), Shen, C. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author)In this study, a wheel-rail transient rolling contact model capable of accounting for the nonlinear displacement-force properties of hanging sleepers is proposed. The sleeper hanging status affected by rail irregularities is an input for an analysis of the wheel-rail contact behavior and related rail degradation in terms of plastic...journal article 2021

Sun, Hao (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)The explosion load is a significant escalation factor possibly influencing the potential occurrence of domino accidents in chemical plants. It is not economical to install explosion isolation systems (e.g., extinguishing barrier) for all equipment or process units across a chemical plant. Although shutting down all equipment or process unit...journal article 2021

Sun, Hao (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)To quantify the pandemic specific impact with respect to the risk related to the chemical industry, a novel risk analysis method is proposed. The method includes three parts. Firstly, the two types of “window of opportunity” (WO) theory is proposed to divide an accident life cycle into two parts. Then, a qualitative risk analysis is conducted...journal article 2020
