Analysis and Control of Abnormal Vibration of End Wall on High-Speed Electric Multiple Units by Dan Wang

“…The results show that when the train is running at a high speed, the aerodynamic excitation of the windshield cavity outside the body end wall acts on the end wall, arousing the first-order bending natural frequency of the body end wall, resulting in resonance of the body end wall, and then causing abnormal vibration and noise in the body end wall area. …”

A Modified Fully Convolutional Network for Crack Damage Identification Compared with Conventional Methods by Meng Meng, Kun Zhu, Keqin Chen, Hang Qu

“…However, these machine learning (ML) methods still have some defects, such as it being inaccurate or not strong, having poor generalization ability, or the accuracy still needs to be improved, and the running speed is slow. In this article, a modified fully convolutional network (FCN) with more robustness and more effectiveness is proposed, which makes it convenient and low cost for long-term structural monitoring and inspection compared with other methods. …”
