Li, S. (author), Naeimi, M. (author), He, C. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)The mechanism of rail short pitch corrugation has remained elusive in the past. The damage mechanisms of the corrugation are reported to be differential wear or plastic deformation. The former has been extensively studied, while the plastic deformation, especially under multiple wheel passages has been seldom studied. To uncover the facts...journal article 2023

Lattice modelling of early-age creep of 3D printed segments with the consideration of stress historyChang, Z. (author), Liang, M. (author), He, S. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)We propose a new numerical method to analyze the early-age creep of 3D printed segments with the consideration of stress history. The integral creep strain evaluation formula is first expressed in a summation form using superposition principle. The experimentally derived creep compliance surface is then employed to calculate the creep strain...journal article 2023

He, Y. (author), Joseph, G. (author)This paper presents novel cascaded channel estimation techniques for an intelligent reflecting surface-aided multiple-input multiple-output system. Motivated by the channel angular sparsity at higher frequency bands, the channel estimation problem is formulated as a sparse vector recovery problem with an inherent Kronecker structure. We solve...conference paper 2023

Zhu, Chunyan (author), Zhang, Yuning (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Xie, Weiming (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Wang, Xianye (author), He, Qing (author)The sediment load in the Yangtze River downstream of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has substantially declined in recent decades. The decrease is more profound below the TGD, e.g., a 97% decrease at Yichang, compared with that at the delta apex, 1200 km downstream, e.g., a 75% decrease, implying along-river sediment recovery. Two large river...journal article 2023

He, G. (author), Buijsman, S.N.R. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author)AI systems are increasingly being used to support human decision making. It is important that AI advice is followed appropriately. However, according to existing literature, users typically under-rely or over-rely on AI systems, and this leads to sub-optimal team performance. In this context, we investigate the role of stated system accuracy...journal article 2023
