Bridging Diverse Physics and Scales of Knee Cartilage With Efficient and Augmented Graph Learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Articular cartilage (AC) is essential for minimizing friction in the human knee, but its healthy function is highly influenced by biomechanical factors such as weight bearing. Non-invasive biomechanical and numerical ... -
Parametric Analysis of Moment-Resisting Timber Frames Combined with Cross Laminated Timber Walls and Prediction Models Using Nonlinear Regression and Artificial Neural Networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The light weight and moderate stiffness of multistorey timber buildings make them susceptible to increased lateral displacements and accelerations under service-level wind loading. Therefore, the fulfilment of serviceability ... -
Flow field analysis and particle erosion of tunnel-slope systems under coupling between runoff and fast (slow) seepage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The presence of particles on the surface of a tunnel slope renders it susceptible to erosion by water flow, which is a major cause of soil and water loss. In this study, a nonlinear mathematical model and a mechanical ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Optimization Algorithms for Finite Element Model Updating on Numerical and Experimental Benchmarks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU) is a common approach to model-based Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of civil structures and infrastructures. Its application can be further ... -
Quantitative characterization of surface defects on bridge cable based on improved YOLACT++
