Shen, C. (author), Zhang, P. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Zoeteman, A. (author), Li, Z. (author)While various train-borne techniques have been developed for measuring railway track stiffness, differentiating stiffness at different track layers remains a challenge. This study proposes a digital twin framework for the vehicle–track interaction system, which enables track stiffness evaluations based on axle box accelerations (ABA). The...journal article 2023

Dirks, Tim (author), Yayci, Abdulkadir (author), Klopsch, Sabrina (author), Krewing, Marco (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Bandow, Julia E. (author)Non-thermal plasmas are used in various applications to inactivate biological agents or biomolecules. A complex cocktail of reactive species, (vacuum) UV radiation and in some cases exposure to an electric field together cause the detrimental effects. In contrast to this disruptive property of technical plasmas, we have shown previously that...journal article 2023

Seismic data interpolation using an anti-over-fitting mixed-scale dense convolutional neural networkZhang, D. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)Seismic data interpolation is a topic well suited for deep learning (DL) applications. Scaling operation-based DL neural networks, e.g., U-Net, have been popular since its booming development in the field of seismic data processing. Although many successful studies using U-Net on seismic data, scientists start to realize the downside of its...conference paper 2023
