Lai, Li (author), Dong, You (author), Andriotis, C. (author), Wang, Aijun (author), Lei, Xiaoming (author)Effective transportation network management systems should consider safety and sustainability objectives. Existing research on large-scale transportation network management often employs the assumption that bridges can be considered individually under these objectives. However, this simplification misses accurate system-level representations,...journal article 2024

Sun, H. (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Chemical process systems are becoming more automated and complex, which leads to increased interaction and interdependence between the human and technical elements of process systems. This urges the need for updating the safety assessment method by treating “safety” as an emergent property of a system. Uncertainty comes together with...journal article 2024

Kapoor, T. (author), Wang, H. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)This paper proposes a novel framework for simulating the dynamics of beams on elastic foundations. Specifically, partial differential equations modeling Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beams on the Winkler foundation are simulated using a causal physics-informed neural network (PINN) coupled with transfer learning. Conventional PINNs encounter...journal article 2024

(author)Clouds affected by solar eclipses could influence the reflection of sunlight back into space and might change local precipitation patterns. Satellite cloud retrievals have so far not taken into account the lunar shadow, hindering a reliable spaceborne assessment of the eclipse-induced cloud evolution. Here we use satellite cloud measurements...journal article 2024
