Song, Yang (author), Zhang, Mingjie (author), Wang, H. (author)The wind deflection of overhead contact lines (OCLs) challenges the stable and safe operation of electrified railways. The steady wind causes the static deflection of the contact line, while the fluctuating wind leads to the OCL buffeting. This paper performs a response spectrum analysis of the wind deflection caused by the combined effects...journal article 2021

Yang, Y. (author), Xu, J. (author), Elkhuizen, W.S. (author), Song, Y. (author)Acquiring an accurate 3D scan of the human hand is a challenging task, mainly due to the complicated geometry and the instability of the hand. In this paper, we present a low-cost photogrammetry-based scanner that is designed for scanning the human hand. The scanner has fifty modules, each has a Raspberry Pi with an 8-megapixels camera. They...journal article 2021

Anjani, S. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Recent research indicated that an 18′′ ×30′′ aircraft seat resulted in nearly the same level of comfort as a 17′′ ×34′′ seat. However, it took less space in the floor plan. OBJECTIVES: This study explores seat layouts preferred by experts regarding different criteria. Those results of the experts are later compared to layouts...journal article 2021

Vink, P. (author), Anjani, S. (author), Netten, M.P. (author), de Ree, H. (author), de Haan, A (author), Song, Y. (author)Discomfort was recorded by 26 airline pilots during flight. Thirteen reported their discomfort during a long haul flight and 13 completed the questionnaires during short haul flights. Discomfort values increased with time to high values, but with a modest decrease towards the end of the flight. Most discomfort was reported in the low back area....conference paper 2021

Song, Y. (author)In research there is often a need to choose between multiple competing models. Two popular criteria for model selection are the AIC and BIC. The AIC excels in estimating the best model for the unknown data generating process. The BIC on the other hand is consistent in finding the true model. It is clear that for model selection these two...bachelor thesis 2020

Liu, D. (author), Song, X. (author), Deng, Fujin (author), Dong, J. (author)High-Temperature superconducting (HTS) generators are being considered as a competitive candidate in large direct-drive (DD) wind turbines because of their features of being lightweight and compact. Normally a large air gap is inevitable in partially HTS generators, sacrificing the torque producing capability. In this paper, multi-phase...journal article 2020
