Li, Y. (author), Han, Qinglin (author), Zhang, Guangjun (author), Horvath, I. (author)Robotic wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) systems are required to provide predictable and efficient operations to fabricate solid metallic parts with high morphological fidelity and geometric accuracy. Since the metallic parts are fabricated based on a layer-by-layer principle, the interactions between the neighboring beads and...journal article 2018

Han, J. (author), Zhang, Lingling (author), Zhang, Qunfei (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Differential orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is practically attractive for underwater acoustic communications since it has the potential to obviate channel estimation. However, similar to coherent OFDM, it may suffer from severe inter-carrier interference over time-varying channels. To alleviate the induced performance...journal article 2018

Ma, X. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Han, Ningxu (author), Xing, Feng (author)External sulfate attack is a progressive degradation process that may cause expansion, cracking, loss of binder cohesion and increased permeability in cementitious materials. Crystallization pressure theory has often been referred to as the most likely mechanism. However, thus far the stress causing the expansion has not been quantified. In...journal article 2018

Han, Y. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Roncoli, Claudio (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper extends an existing linear quadratic model predictive control (LQMPC) approach to multi-destination traffic networks, where the correct origin-destination (OD) relations are preserved. In the literature, the LQMPC approach has been presented for efficient routing and intersection signal control. The optimization problem in the...journal article 2018

Han, Y. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Papageorgiou, Markos (author), Roncoli, Claudio (author)In this paper we develop a fast model predictive control (MPC) approach for variable speed limit coordination to resolve freeway jam waves. Existing MPC approaches that are based on the second-order traffic flow models suffer from high computation load due to the non-linear and non-convex optimization formulation. In recent years, simplified...journal article 2017

(author), Han, Haoya (author), Li, Tao (author), Li, Li (author), Guo, Xuhong (author)Chitosan has been used to cross-link poly(acrylic acid) to give three pH-sensitive hydrogels designed to control the release of the drugs amoxicillin and meloxicam. The extent of cross-linking and solution pH was found to dominate the swelling behavior of these hydrogels as shown by scanning electron microscopy and swelling time dependencies....journal article 2017

(author)The core component of many hydrological systems, the moisture storage capacity available to vegetation, is impossible to observe directly at the catchment scale and is typically treated as a calibration parameter or obtained from a priori available soil characteristics combined with estimates of rooting depth. Often this parameter is...journal article 2016

Han, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper proposes an extension of the discrete Lighthill–Whitham–Richards model of the cell transmission model type to reproduce capacity drop and the propagation of jam waves. Recent studies have tried to incorporate the capacity drop into discrete first-order traffic flow models for traffic optimization purposes. It was found that the inflow...journal article 2016
