Yang, Zhe (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Zhang, Qi (author), Chen, Zhe (author), de Jesus Chavez, Jose (author), Popov, M. (author)The traditional fault control strategy of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources (CIRESs) may bring about a lower sensitivity level or misoperation of fault component-based directional elements. To overcome this problem, a new control scheme is proposed to adjust sequence impedance angles of CIRESs by computing suitable current...journal article 2023

Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Zang, Yining (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu sheng (author)The Yongding River (Beijing, China) was dry most times of the year, and groundwater storage was severely depleted. To address this issue, a river rehabilitation project was initiated. A downstream environmental flow release (EFR) project from upstream reservoirs has been implemented since 2019. This study evaluated the impact of EFR by...journal article 2023

Zhong, Junping (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Wang, H. (author), Liu, Wenqiang (author), Yang, Cheng (author), Han, Zhiwei (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author)Brace sleeve (BS) fasteners, i.e., nut and bolt, are small components but play essential roles in fixing BS and cantilever in railway catenary system. They are commonly inspected by onboard cameras using computer vision to ensure the safety of railway operation. However, most BS fasteners cannot be directly localized because they are too...journal article 2021

Boot, T. (author), Riemslag, A.C. (author), Reinton, T.E. (author), Liu, P. (author), Walters, C.L. (author), Popovich, V. (author)This work discusses the design and demonstration of an in-situ test setup for testing pipeline steels in a high pressure gaseous hydrogen (H2) environment. A miniature hollow pipe-like tensile specimen was designed that acts as the gas containment volume during the test. Specific areas of the specimen can be forced to fracture by selective...journal article 2021

(author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)The surface topography of engineered extracellular matrices is one of the most important physical cues regulating the phenotypic polarization of macrophages. However, not much is known about the ways through which submicron (i.e., 100-1000 nm) topographies modulate the polarization of macrophages. In the context of bone tissue regeneration,...journal article 2021

Fontanella, A. (author), Al, M. (author), van der Hoek, D.C. (author), Liu, Y. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author), Belloli, M. (author)The design of control strategies for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is even more difficult than for onshore and bottom-fixed offshore ones and a recognized control strategy for FOWTs is currently lacking. In order to design effective control strategies, the additional dynamics of these systems should be taken into account in the...journal article 2020

(author)This paper presents an objective comparison between two recent constitutive models employing the concept of the hardening memory surface to predict the high cyclic loading behaviour of granular soils. The hardening memory surface is applied to the well-known Severn-Trent sand and the SANINSAND04 constitutive models. While the addition of the new...conference paper 2019

Zeng, Ningshuang (author), Liu, Y. (author), Mao, Chao (author), König, Markus (author)Environmental burdens arise in the whole life cycle of construction. Waste and pollution are produced in the upstream and downstream of a construction project along the supply chains. The interdependency between on-site construction and off-site logistics also leads to an expansion effect of waste when a disturbance occurs. A related supply...journal article 2018

Liu, J. (author), Quadvlieg, Frans (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author)The profile of a ship rudder influences the forces it generates, which in turn influence the manoeuvring performance of a ship. Thus, rudder forces and moments should be calculated considering the profile. Instead of an empirical estimation of the rudder normal force coefficient, this paper applies a RANS method to determine the hydrodynamic...journal article 2016

Liu, J. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author)In order to reach the required manoeuvrability, inland vessels often use twin rudders, but the interaction effects are poorly understood. To achieve a proper configuration, this paper applies 2D RANS simulations to analyse the interaction effects on the twin-rudder hydrodynamics. Various twin-rudder configurations with different profiles and...conference paper 2016

Liu, Y. (author), Arntsen, B. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author)The virtual source method has been applied successfully to retrieve the impulse response between pairs of receivers in the subsurface. This method is further improved by an updown separation prior to the crosscorrelation to suppress the reflections from the overburden and the free surface. In a reversed situation where the sources are in the...conference paper 2014

Liu, C. (author)The steady increase in air traffic creates a need for an increase in airport capacity. To achieve this we need to safely reduce existing separation standards. An important limiting factor in establishing required separation standards is the risk imposed by wake vortices. To determine the risk, the induced rolling moment plays a dominant role in...master thesis 2007
