Sadowski, Adam Jan (author), Wong, W.J. (author), Li, Sai Chung Simon (author), Málaga-Chuquitaype, Christian (author)This article describes a dataset used to calibrate a finite element model of a thick circular hollow section (CHS) with varying d/t (diameter to thickness) ratio under cyclic loading which may be used as a computational model validation benchmark by researchers working on similar problems in structural and mechanical engineering.

Zhan, Shuguang (author), Xie, Jiemin (author), Wong, S. C. (author), Zhu, Y. (author), Corman, Francesco (author)External and internal factors can cause disturbances or disruptions in daily train operations, leading to deviations from official timetables and passenger delays. As a result, efficient train timetable rescheduling (TTR) methods are necessary to restore disrupted train services. Although TTR has been a popular research topic in recent years,...journal article 2024

Yap, M.D. (author), Wong, Howard (author), Cats, O. (author)Understanding how passengers perceive public transport interchanges is important to better explain current public transport mode and route choice behaviour and to better predict future demand levels. In this study we derive how passengers value a public transport interchange in a metropolitan context entirely based on recent, large-scale,...journal article 2024

Weijers, Robert J. (author), de Koning, Björn B. (author), Scholten, Ester (author), Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Paas, Fred (author)Asking questions is vital for learning, yet students seldom exhibit this behavior. Given the increasing presence of online classrooms in tertiary education, it is much needed to examine ways to encourage students to ask questions and increase their engagement. Despite the critical role of asking questions to enhance learning, little is known...journal article 2024

Wong, W.J. (author), Walters, C.L. (author)High-strength steel beams are known to have less plastic rotation capacity than beams with lower yield strengths. This has been related to the decreased strain-hardening ability of high-strength steels, and various rules and standards for steel structures stipulate maximum limits on the allowable yield-to-tensile strength ratio ((Formula...journal article 2023

Luo, Yifan (author), Yang, Jinxin (author), Shi, Qian (author), Xu, Yong (author), Menenti, M. (author), Wong, Man Sing (author)The urban heat island effect poses a growing threat to human society, especially in densely populated and developed megacities. With the introduction of the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) framework, new perspectives and findings have been brought to urban heat island studies. This study investigated the cooling effect of vegetation and albedo on the...journal article 2023

Zahedi, M.Z. (author), Shahroodi, T. (author), Wong, J.S.S.M. (author), Hamdioui, S. (author)The vast potential of memristor-based computation-in-memory (CIM) engines has mainly triggered the mapping of best-suited applications. Nevertheless, with additional support, existing applications can also benefit from CIM. In particular, this paper proposes an energy and area-efficient CIM-based methodology to perform arithmetic signed...journal article 2023

(author)Performing analysis on large graph datasets in an energy-efficient manner has posed a significant challenge; not only due to excessive data movements and poor locality, but also due to the non-optimal use of high sparsity of such datasets. The latter leads to a waste of resources as the computation is also performed on zero's operands which do...conference paper 2023
