Yang, D. (author), Sun, Y (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable “surrogate models” (also known as “Response Surface Models — RSMs” or “metamodels”), are constructed and validated for each...conference paper 2016

Sun, Y. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Ditmar, P.G. (author)The focus of the study is optimizing the technique for estimating geocenter motion and variations in J2 by combining data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission with output from an Ocean Bottom Pressure model and a Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) model. First, we conduct an end-to-end numerical simulation...journal article 2016

Sun, H. (author), Mašín, D. (author), Boháč, J. (author)Compacted bentonite is often planned as an engineered barrier material between host rock and canister in nuclear waste disposal repositories thanks to its favourable swelling characteristics and low permeability. This study deals with the effects of initial dry density and vertical stress on the swelling behaviour of compacted bentonite under...conference paper 2016

van Daal-Rombouts, P.M.M. (author), Sun, Siao (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Bertrand-Krajewski, J.-L. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Optimisation or real time control (RTC) studies in wastewater systems increasingly require rapid simulations of sewer systems in extensive catchments. To reduce the simulation time calibrated simplified models are applied, with the performance generally based on the goodness of fit of the calibration. In this research the performance of three...journal article 2016

Sun, P. (author), Ishihara, R. (author), Charbon, E. (author)We proposed the world’s first flexible ultrathin-body single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) as photon counting device providing a suitable solution to advanced implantable bio-compatible chronic medical monitoring, diagnostics and other applications. In this paper, we investigate the Geiger-mode performance of this flexible ultrathin-body SPAD...journal article 2016

Sun, F. (author)The ultimate objective of this work is to gain a better understanding of the plastic behavior of rough metal surfaces under contact loading. Attention in this thesis focuses on the study of single and multiple asperities with micrometer scale dimensions, a scale at which plasticity is known to be size dependent. The asperities have very simple...doctoral thesis 2016

Tol, H.J. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Sun, LG (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)In this paper, a new modular adaptive control system is presented to compensate for aerodynamic uncertainties in high-performance flight control systems. This approach combines nonlinear dynamic inversion with multivariate spline-based adaptive control allocation. A new real-time identification routine for multivariate splines is presented to...journal article 2016

Pan, W. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Turrin, M. (author), Paul, J.C. (author)The integration of architectural (functional spaces) and structural design is especially crucial for the conceptual design of large multi-functional sports halls, due to the strict regulations for functional spaces, the requirement of large-span structure, and the complex interrelationships between these two aspects. This on-going research aims...conference paper 2016

Sun, Junzi (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)With the increasing availability of ADS-B transponders on commercial aircraft, as well as the rapidly growing deployment of ground stations that provide public access to their data, accessing open aircraft flight data is becoming easier for researchers. Given the large number of operational aircraft, significant amounts of flight data can be...conference paper 2016

Sun, Junzi (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Aircraft mass is an important parameter in many ways, either to build aircraft performance models, to predict flight trajectories, or to simulate air traffic. Mass data is usually considered as sensitive information for airlines and is, therefore, not disclosed to researchers publicly. In this paper, we use two methods to infer the mass of an...conference paper 2016

Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Sun, Y. (author). In this study, for the first time, an attempt is made to close the sea level budget on a sub-basin scale in terms of trend and amplitude of the annual cycle. We also compare the residual time series after removing the trend, the semiannual and the annual signals. To obtain errors for altimetry and Argo, full variance–covariance matrices are...journal article 2016

Wennersten, Ronald (author), Sun, Q (author), de Jong, W.M. (author)Great efforts have been made in China to reduce coal consumption over the last decade. However, the energy transition to more sustainable energy systems will be gradual and take a longer time than expected. This paper discusses how sustainable development of energy systems on the local level can be gradually achieved. A challenge will be to...journal article 2016
