Jiang, H. (author), Vogel, J.G. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author)This paper presents a direct digital converter for Wheatstone bridge sensors, which is realized with commercial off-the-shelf components. The power efficiency of the readout is enhanced by embedding the bridge sensor in a second-order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator (CTDeltaSigmaM). By directly digitizing the output signal of a Wheatstone...journal article 2017

Liu, Z. (author), Chen, Kai (author), Li, Z. (author), Jiang, X. (author)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been increasingly applied to steel structures for structural strengthening or crack repair, given its high strength-to-weight ratio and high stiffness-to-weight ratio. Cracks in steel structures are the dominant hidden threats to structural safety. However, it is difficult to monitor structural cracks under...journal article 2017

Pan, S. (author), Jiang, H. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper presents the most energy-efficient CMOS temperature sensor ever reported, with a resolution FoM of 49fJ·K2, 2.7× better than the state-of-the-art. It consists of a Wheatstone bridge made from poly-silicon resistors, which is readout by a 2nd-order Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma modulator (CTDSM). This approach leads to a high resolution ...conference paper 2017

Cai, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Jiang, C. (author), Zhao, L. (author), Yang, Q. (author)The mean water level in estuaries rises in the landward direction due to a combination of the density gradient, the tidal asymmetry, and the backwater effect. This phenomenon is more prominent under an increase of the fresh water discharge, which strongly intensifies both the tidal asymmetry and the backwater effect. However, the interactions...journal article 2016

Jiang, X. (author), Song, Jie (author), Qiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)Influence of moisture absorption/desorption on the flexural properties of Glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates was experimentally investigated under hot/wet aging environments. To characterize mechanical degradation, three-point bending tests were performed following the ASTM test standard (ASTM D790-10A). The flexural properties...journal article 2016

Jiang, X. (author), Qiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)The research presented in this paper is an experimental study and numerical analysis on mechanical behavior of the adhesively-bonded joint between FRP sandwich bridge deck and steel girder. Generally, there are three typical stress states in the adhesively-bonded joint: shear stress, tensile stress, and combination of both. To realize these...journal article 2016

Liu, Xiaoming (author), Dai, Ji (author), Wu, Di (author), Jiang, Feng (author), Chen, Guanghao (author), Chui, Ho Kwong (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Global water security is a severe issue that threatens human health and well-being. Finding sustainable alternative water resources has become a matter of great urgency. For coastal urban areas, desalinated seawater could serve as a freshwater supply. However, since 20%–30% of the water supply is used for flushing waste from the city,...journal article 2016

(author)We present a first-principles density functional theory study focused on how the chemical and electronic properties of polyaniline are adjusted by introducing suitable substituents on a polymer backbone. Analyses of the obtained energy barriers, reaction energies and minimum energy paths indicate that the chemical reactivity of the polyaniline...journal article 2015

Zhang, Y.-J. (author), Feng, X.-T. (author), Jiang, Q. (author)The epistemic uncertainty and aleatory uncertainty caused by the geology condition and construction method make the surrounding rock stability evaluation of underground cavern group difficult. The first may be reduced with more field investigation, tests or monitoring, but the later can not be avoided completely. So the risk analysis method can...conference paper 2015

Jiang, S. (author), Li, D. (author), Wei, B. (author)The effect of probability distributions on the slope reliability is highlighted in this study since the lognormal distribution is often used to characterize the variability of soil properties to avoid negative values. A multiple response-surface based MCS method for slope reliability analysis in spatially variable soils is proposed. A...conference paper 2015

Jiang, J. (author), Chang, Z.Y. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author)This paper presents an energy-efficient readout circuit for micro-machined resonant sensors. It operates by briefly exciting the sensor at a frequency close to its resonance frequency, after which resonance frequency and quality factor are determined from a single ring-down transient. The circuit employs an inverter-based trans-impedance...journal article 2015

The incompressible flow past a 6:1 prolate spheroid with an inclination angle of 45o at Re = 3,000 has been studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS). The Reynolds number is based on the inflow velocity and minor-axis length. The preliminary results presented here are focused mainly on vortex dynamics and vortical structures in the...conference paper 2015
