Abstract: In this paper, a physics-based method to inversely determine wheel—rail contact area in their lifecycle is proposed by introducing a continuous optimization pipeline including filtering and projection procedures. First, ...

Abstract: The waste heat boiler in a sulfur-burning sulfuric acid plant experienced failures, specifically furnace tube bursting and tube sheet leakage. Samples were extracted from the front tube sheet and the tubes that had failed, ...

Abstract: With the universal utilization of the commonrail injection system in automotive diesel engines, the multistage injection strategies have become typical approaches to satisfy the increasingly stringent emission regulations, ...

Abstract: As a transmission component, the gear has been obtained widespread attention. The remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of gear is critical to the prognostics health management (PHM) of gear transmission systems. The ...

Abstract: The wheel wear situation on the railway vehicles will affect the train running stability and riding comfort. Thus, the prediction model of wheel tread wear is critical for anticipating the wheelset state information and ...
