Jia, W. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Goncalves Carvalho, M.D. (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Differential railway track settlement can result in ballast voids, leading to sleepers that hang from the rail and are no longer supported by the ballast. These hanging sleepers are damage for track component. As a solution, this paper proposes and investigates a new concept sleeper with a wedge-shaped geometry, intended to stimulate the...journal article 2023

Tian, Yongding (author), Guo, Zhuoran (author), Zhang, Jiaxuan (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author)Many researchers have proposed replacing the aggregation server in federated learning with a blockchain system to improve privacy, robustness, and scalability. In this approach, clients would upload their updated models to the blockchain ledger and use a smart contract to perform model averaging.

Shi, Can (author), Fan, Zheng (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Railway ballast performance is dictated by a complex mix of mechanical properties. These effect its performance at the particle level for example in terms of particle degradation, but also at the track system level in terms of settlement and stability. Therefore this paper seeks to develop new understandings of ballast behaviour and identify...review 2023

Du, Yunlu (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Guo, Baocheng (author), Peng, Fei (author), Dong, J. (author)This article proposes a nonlinear semianalytical model (SAM) of the multiphase Halbach array axial flux permanent-magnet motor (AFPMM) to speed up the computation of its magnetic field. Compared to the existing analytical models, the proposed nonlinear SAM can directly consider magnetic saturation to obtain more accurate results. To this end,...journal article 2023

Zhao, Wenbo (author), Qiang, Weile (author), Yang, Fei (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Guo, Y. (author)Ballast layer defects are the primary cause for rapid track geometry degradation. Detecting these defects in real-time during track inspections is urgently needed to ensure safe train operations. To achieve this, an indicator, the track degradation rate (TDR) was proposed. This rate is calculated using track geometry inspection data to locate...journal article 2023
