Train wheel damage detection based on deep learning

The train wheel flat is one of the most common damages in the railway system. It occurs when a wheel locks up while the train is moving. The early detection of wheel-flat severity is crucial for passenger comfort and the safety of the railway operation. However, it is still challenging to quantify the properties of wheel flats (e.g., sizes)...

Deep learning predicts path-dependent plasticity

Plasticity theory aims at describing the yield loci and work hardening of a material under general deformation states. Most of its complexity arises from the nontrivial dependence of the yield loci on the complete strain history of a material and its microstructure. This motivated 3 ingenious simplifications that underpinned a century of...
