(author), Li, Xiaogang (author)Recently, lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) have emerged as a prominent class of surface technology for antifouling, anti-icing and anticorrosion applications. However, long-term corrosion exposure and mechanical damages may deteriorate the practical performance of LIS during application. In this study, a robust LIS was fabricated by the...journal article 2019

Wu, Meimei (author), Ge, W. (author), Li, Zongkun (author), Wu, Zening (author), Zhang, Hexiang (author), Li, Juanjuan (author), Pan, Yipeng (author)Despite the rapid development of risk analysis in dam engineering, there is a relative absence of research on the environmental impact of dam break. As a systematic theory, set pair analysis has a good effect in dealing with uncertainties, although the result is relatively rough and easy to distort. A connection degree of five grades and a...journal article 2019

Li, Wei (author), Li, Zongkun (author), Ge, W. (author), Wu, Sai (author)The internal mechanism affecting life loss caused by a dam-break flood is complicated. On the basis of analyzing the risk formation path, a risk evaluation indicator system was established which included the hazards, exposure and vulnerability factors. Variable Fuzzy Sets theory was introduced into the risk evaluation of life loss risk grades...journal article 2019

(author)This research presents a coupled thermomechanical modelling procedure for the wheel-rail contact problem and computes the flash-temperature and stress-strain responses when thermal effects are present. A three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element model was built considering the wheel-track interaction. When the wheel is running on rail,...journal article 2018

Liu, Quantao (author), Li, Bin (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Sun, Yihan (author), Wu, Shaopeng (author)In this paper, steel slag/steel fiber composite asphalt mixture were prepared. The effects of the addition of steel slag and/or steel fibers on the mechanical, thermal, induction heating and healing properties of asphalt mixture were investigated. The results showed that adding steel slag and/or steel fibers improves the water stability,...journal article 2017

Wu, Yue (author), Liu, Xiuming (author), Li, Q. (author), Chen, Boxuan (author), Luo, Peng (author), Pronk, Arno (author), Mergny, Elke (author)By using inflatable moulds and then spraying cellulose-water mixture, one ice dome and two ice towers were built in Harbin in December 2016. During the whole process, form-finding of the inflatable moulds as well as the construction of these ice composite shell structures are very important for the final results.<br/>The mould for the ice dome...conference paper 2017

Wu, Yue (author), Li, Q. (author), Hu, Qingjie (author), Borgart, A. (author)Firefly Algorithm (FA, for short) is inspired by the social behavior of fireflies and their phenomenon of bioluminescent communication. Based on the fundamentals of FA, two improved strategies are proposed to conduct size and topology optimization for trusses with discrete design variables. Firstly, development of structural topology...journal article 2017

Wu, J. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)White etching layer (WEL) is a frequently observed microstructural phenomenon in rail surface, formed during dynamic wheel/rail contact. It is considered as one of the main initiators for rolling contact fatigue cracks. There are several hypotheses for the formation mechanism of WEL. However, due to the complicated wheel/rail contact...journal article 2016
