Gao, W. (author), Nan, L. (author), Boom, Bas (author), Ledoux, H. (author)Recent developments in data acquisition technology allow us to collect 3D texture meshes quickly. Those can help us understand and analyse the urban environment, and as a consequence are useful for several applications like spatial analysis and urban planning. Semantic segmentation of texture meshes through deep learning methods can enhance...journal article 2021

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Vedvik, Nils Petter (author), Gao, Zhen (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)The leading edges of wind turbine blades are adhesively bonded composite sections that are susceptible to impact loads during offshore installation. The impact loads can cause localized damages at the leading edges that necessitate damage tolerance assessment. However, owing to the complex material combinations together with varying bondline...journal article 2021

Gao, Y. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Zhang, Congcong (author)The past decade has witnessed a rapid development of open government data practices and academic research. However, there is no systematic survey of existing research to understand the evolution of open government data. Such research can facilitate knowledge transfer within and across domains, and foster learning for countries in the early...journal article 2021

Ali, Liaqat (author), Makhdoom, Nageena (author), Gao, Yifan (author), Fang, P. (author), Khan, Sikandar (author), Bai, Yong (author)A numerical model in slice configuration was applied to the Central Andaman Sea in order to derive metocean operational and design criteria associated to internal solitary waves which are large amplitude interfacial waves. For that purpose, a 10 year hindcast was generated. The model was driven by tides at the open boundary and included...journal article 2021

Gao, Hongyu (author), Ewen, James P. (author), Hartkamp, Remco (author), Müser, Martin H. (author), Dini, Daniele (author)Surfactant molecules, known as organic friction modifiers (OFMs), are routinely added to lubricants to reduce friction and wear between sliding surfaces. In macroscale experiments, friction generally decreases as the coverage of OFM molecules on the sliding surfaces increases; however, recent nanoscale experiments with sharp atomic force...journal article 2021

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Gao, Zhen (author), Vedvik, Nils Petter (author)Single-blade installation is a conventional method for installing blades on monopile-type offshore wind turbines. A jack-up crane vessel is commonly used, and individual blades are lifted to the tower top height and mated with the hub. The relative motions between the hub and blade root during the mating phase, partly due to wind-induced...journal article 2020
