Fang, G. (author), Tian, Yingjun (author), Yang, Zhi Xin (author), Geraedts, Jo M.P. (author), Wang, C.C. (author)This article presents an efficient learning-based method to solve the <italic>inverse kinematic</italic> (IK) problem on soft robots with highly nonlinear deformation. The major challenge of efficiently computing IK for such robots is due to the lack of analytical formulation for either forward or inverse kinematics. To address...journal article 2022

Sun, H. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Chemical process systems (CPSs) involve complex dynamic processes. Besides, the emergent and uncertain hazards and disruptions cannot be identified entirely and prevented by conventional methods. In those situations, resilience for CPSs plays an essential role in absorbing, adapting to disruptions, and restoring from damages. Systemic modeling...journal article 2022

Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Yang, Wei (author), Wang, B. (author)Sustainable urban transformation has become a mantra for Chinese cities. While most studies focus on sustainable urbanization in megacities, the far larger number of medium-sized cities is understudied, although the latter face more severe urban problems. This article develops a framework for examining policy change in sustainable urban...journal article 2022

Wang, Zhen (author), Shan, X. (author), Zhang, Xiangxie (author), Yang, J. (author)Current news datasets merely focus on text features on the news and rarely leverage the feature of images, excluding numerous essential features for news classification. In this paper, we propose a new dataset, N24News, which is generated from New York Times with 24 categories and contains both text and image information in each news. We use...conference paper 2022

Cai, Jie (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yang, Yazhou (author), Lodewijks, Gabriel (author), Wang, Minchang (author)A corrosion defect is recognized as one of the most severe phenomena for high-pressure pipelines, especially those served for a long time. Finite-element method and empirical formulas are thereby used for the strength prediction of such pipes with corrosion. However, it is time-consuming for finite-element method and there is a limited...journal article 2022

Sun, Hao (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Reliability-based and risk-based methods for directing maintenance activities play a critical role in ensuring system safety and reducing unnecessary downtime. Those methods focus on preventive maintenance to avoid component failures and are applicable before unexpected disruptions occur. However, when disruptions are unavoidable, more attention...journal article 2022

Sun, H. (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Resilience is an emergent property of a system, which changes with various internal and external factors. Resilience is also a hidden property of a system that cannot be observed. Thus, experiments should be performed for a given system to measure its resilience. However, physical experiments are practically impossible. Inspired by the tensile...journal article 2022
