Vernaillen, T. (author), Wang, L. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)This paper presents a big data-based analysis of the rail wear of the whole Belgian railway network measured in 2012 and 2019. Wear rates are reported, discussed, and quantitatively formulated as functions of critical factors in terms of curve radius, annual tonnage (rail age), high rail in curves, an average from both rails in straight...journal article 2023

Ruzzi, Alessandro (author), Shi, X. (author), Wang, Xi (author), Li, Gengyan (author), De Mello, Shalini (author), Chang, Hyung Jin (author), Zhang, X. (author), Hilliges, Otmar (author)We propose GazeNeRF, a 3D-aware method for the task of gaze redirection. Existing gaze redirection methods operate on 2D images and struggle to generate 3D consistent results. Instead, we build on the intuition that the face region and eyeballs are separate 3D structures that move in a coordinated yet independent fashion. Our method leverages...conference paper 2023

Li, Jianguo (author), Wang, Bin (author), Wang, Di (author), Zhang, Pei (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)Aiming at modelling the mechanical behaviour of soil-rock mixtures accurately and efficiently, a coupled MPM-DEM formulation combining the material point method (MPM) and the discrete element method (DEM) is proposed. It is solved concurrently via the contact force linking the two individual methods. Specifically, the soil is modelled with...journal article 2023

Liu, Minne (author), Ibrahim, Mesfin S. (author), Wen, Minzhen (author), Li, Sheng (author), Wang, An (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)Spectral power distribution (SPD) is the radiation power intensity at different wavelengths, containing the most basic photometric and colorimetric performance of the illuminant, which is able to predict the lifetime of LEDs. This paper proposes an SPD model assisted by machine learning algorithms to detect the early failure of white LEDs. The...conference paper 2023
