During this year’s North American Research Conference (NAMRC), on behalf of a MechSE team, Dr. Shao presented a project “Manufacturing of an Innovative Hybrid Heat Exchanger” in the Reusable Abstractions of Manufacturing Processes (RAMP) 2019 competition, and won the 2nd prize. The purpose of the RAMP competition is to create a venue to foster interest […]
The project “A Multi-Scale Computational Platform for Predictive Modeling of Corrosion in Al-steel Joints,” funded by the Vehicle Technologies Office of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), started recently. We are working in collaboration with researchers from the University of Michigan, the University of Georgia, Pennsylvania State University, General Motors, Optimal Process Technologies, and Livermore Software Technology […]
The project “Quantitative Non-Destructive Evaluation of Fatigue Damage Based on Multi-Sensor Fusion,” funded by the Reducing EMbodied-Energy And Decreasing Emissions (REMADE) Institute, is starting soon. We will work with Professor Katie Matlack from UIUC and Prof. Professor Jingjing Li from Penn State to develop an innovative non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methodology for the quantification and prognostics […]
High-speed electric multiple units have numerous advantages. However, a number of critical maintenance issues arise in the operation of high-speed electric multiple units. The previous researches about rail profile design usually take only a single type of wheel profile into account, which would cause some other problems such as severe increase of hollow wear on […]
