Combined effect of annealing temperature and vanadium substitution for mangetocaloric Mn_1.2-xV_xFe_0.75P_0.5Si_0.5 alloys

Approaching the border of the first order transition and second order transition is significant to optimize the giant magnetocaloric materials performance. The influence of vanadium substitution in the Mn_1.2-xV_xFe_0.75P_0.5Si_0.5 alloys is investigated for annealing temperatures of 1323,...

Rail break prediction and cause analysis using imbalanced in-service train data

Timely detection and identification of rail breaks are crucial for safety and reliability of railway networks. This paper proposes a new deep learning-based approach using the daily monitoring data from in-service trains. A time-series generative adversarial network (TimeGAN) is employed to mitigate the problem of data imbalance and preserve the...

River, tide and morphology interaction in a macro-tidal estuary with active morphological evolutions

Understanding tidal dynamics in estuaries is essential for tidal predictions and assessments of sediment transport and associated morphological changes. Most studies on river-tide interaction ignored the influences of morphological evolutions under natural conditions such as the seasonal and interannual variations of river discharge. This...

Ultra-low Hysteresis in Giant Magnetocaloric Mn_1-xV_xFe_0.95(P,Si,B) Compounds

Large thermal hysteresis in the (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) system hinders an efficient heat exchange and thus limits the magnetocaloric applications. Substitution of manganese by vanadium in the Mn1-x1Vx1Fe0.95P0.593Si0.33B0.077 and Mn1-x2Vx2Fe0.95P0.563Si0.36B0.077 compounds enable a significant reduction in the thermal hysteresis without losing the giant...

Deep Bayesian survival analysis of rail useful lifetime

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...

Seeing the Past, Planning the Future: Proudly Celebrating 25 Years of Assisting the Convergence of Process Sciences and Design Science

This Extended Editorial has been compiled by the members of the Editorial Board to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Journal of Integrated Design and Process Science, which operates as the Transactions of the Society for Process and Design Science. The paper divides in three parts. The first part provides a detailed...
