Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)To assess the structural capacity of reinforced concrete structures, identifying the internal cracks is important. Acoustic emission (AE) is promising to estimate the location of internal cracks. However, the localization is influenced by many factors like arrival time picking error, presence of crack, etc., resulting in localization error. The...journal article 2023

(author), Westerweel, J. (author), Suijker, W. (author), van Wijk, R. (author)The principal aim of the work presented here is to investigate and demonstrate that a forward tilted rowing blade would result in a more efficient and effective motion of the blade through the water that would result in a higher boat speed when an equal input power is provided. A 1:5 scaled rowing boat is used to determine the performance of...journal article 2023

Chen, Y. (author), Yang, Yizhao (author)The research on the quality of natural habitats and human settlements has been paid attention to by academia, design professionals and policymakers in recent years. Most of the concern is driven by rapid spatial transformation of and ecological deterioration in both natural habitats and human settlement globally due to the rapid urbanisation...journal article 2023

Yang, Lijuan (author), Lin, X. (author), Li, Eldon Y. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Transshipment can be a detour for carriers to bypass congested locks. Therefore, the local government provides subsidies to carriers reluctant to adopt transshipment due to high costs. Using the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) as the subject, we address the interaction between the government and carriers and the rational routine choice for carriers...journal article 2023

(author), Yang, Y. (author)The HIsarna off-gas system wall is a cooling jacket made of cooling pipes arranged in the radial direction and in a circular pattern. Part of the off-gas system cooling pipes are isolated using a low-thermal-conductivity refractory material to protect the cooling pipe from melting and thermal stresses. During long runs and due to...journal article 2023

Cheng, H. (author), Weemstra, C. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Yang, Y. (author)Coda wave interferometry (CWI) holds promise as a technique for concrete stress monitoring. This is because the coda, which consists of multiply scattered arrivals, is the result of propagation through the medium over large distances. As such, it is sensitive to both minute structural changes and small velocity changes in that medium....journal article 2023
