Monitoring and predicting the dynamic responses of railway bridges under moving trains, including displacement and acceleration, are vital for evaluating the safety and serviceability of the train–bridge system. Traditionally, finite element analysis methods with high computational burden are used to predict the train-induced responses according to the given train loads and, hence, cannot easily be integrated as an available structural-health-monitoring strategy. Therefore, this study develops a novel framework, combining the train–bridge coupling mechanism and deep learning algorithms to efficiently predict the train-induced bridge responses while considering train load duration. Initially, the feasibility of using neural networks to calculate the train–bridge coupling vibration is demonstrated by leveraging the nonlinear relationship between train load and bridge responses. Subsequently, the instantaneous multiple moving axial loads of the moving train are regarded as the equivalent node loads that excite adjacent predefined nodes on the bridge. Afterwards, a deep long short-term memory (LSTM) network is established as a surrogate model to predict the train-induced bridge responses. Finally, the prediction accuracy is validated using a numerical case study of a simply supported railway bridge. The factors that may affect the prediction accuracy, such as network structure, training samples, the number of structural units, and noise level, are discussed. Results show that the developed framework can efficiently predict the train-induced bridge responses. The prediction accuracy of the bridge displacement is higher than that of the acceleration. In addition, the robustness of the displacement prediction is proven to be better than that of the acceleration with the variation of carriage number, riding speed, and measurement noise.

With the rapid development of Open-Source (OS), more and more software projects are maintained and developed in the form of OS. These Open-Source projects depend on and influence each other, gradually forming a huge OS project network, namely an Open-Source Software ECOsystem (OSSECO). Unfortunately, not all OS projects in the open-source ecosystem can be healthy and stable in the long term, and more projects will go from active to inactive and gradually die. In a tightly connected ecosystem, the death of one project can potentially cause the collapse of the entire ecosystem network. How can we effectively prevent such situations from happening? In this paper, we first identify the basic project characteristics that affect the survival of OS projects at both project and ecosystem levels through the proportional hazards model. Then, we utilize graph convolutional networks based on the ecosystem network to extract the ecosystem environment characteristics of OS projects. Finally, we fuse basic project characteristics and environmental project characteristics and construct a Hybrid Structured Prediction Model (HSPM) to predict the OS project survival state. The experimental results show that HSPM significantly improved compared to the traditional prediction model. Our work can substantially assist OS project managers in maintaining their projects’ health. It can also provide an essential reference for developers when choosing the right open-source project for their production activities.
