Researches

Yibo Ai received the B.S. degree, M.S. degree and Ph.D. degree in control science and engineering from University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing, China, in 2004, 2007 and 2018, respectively. Her research interest includes big data fusion, complex system modeling, nondestructive detection, system reliability analysis and remaining life prediction. She has been engaged in the application on high speed train gear transmission system, high accuracy motorized spindle, biometrics feature recognition and multi-levels system service safety assessment. She has presided over and participated as the main member a number of National Science Foundation China, science and technology support program and other projects in China, and won the second prize of Beijing education teaching achievement award.

l  Main Projects

- Project 2: “Cross-scale, Multi-leve System Service Safety Assessment”, Chinese Natural Science Foundation, 2012-2016

- Project 3: “High-speed gearbox shell damage tolerance and life prediction research”, Central University Basic Scientific Research Foundation of Ministry of Education, 2011-2015

- Project 4: “Research on Engineering Service System Assessment Method”, Beijing Education Commission, 2008-2010

l  Main Contributions

- Complex System Cross-scale Life Prediction and Reliability Analysis: A "material scale—structure scale" cross-scale correlation and decision method for life prediction of gearbox shell has been proposed. The equivalent stress has been used to connect the structure scale finite element and material scale. The fuzzy decision making method has been applied to do the cross-scale decision between simulation result and inspection result of key structure locations in sample bench test.

- Data Fusion for Imbalance Data: An unbalanced data regression method based on Adaboost sample distribution adjustment has been proposed. The fatigue damage process of high speed train gearbox shell is slow, and the key characterization data of the damage state is relatively small. Therefore, the Adaboost classifier algorithm has been used to adjust the distribution of the key characterization data and the non key characterization data in the detection data.

- Video Image Recognition based on Deep Learning: Weld quality recognition has been achieved based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) image classification network. The convolutional neural network (FCN) processing has been used to complete input image, extraction of defect features. Then crack defects in solar energy battery components has been detected and positioning.
