Xu, Yuxin (author), Fang, P. (author), Bai, Yong (author)Metallic strip flexible pipes (MSFP), a relatively new style of unbonded flexible pipes, are considered as an attractive alternative to traditional submarine pipes. During its reeling operation, it will inevitably confront various complicated loads, which may affect the integrity and safety of MSFP's utilization. In this paper, the tension...journal article 2021

Sberna, P.M. (author), Fang, Piet Xiaowen (author), Fang, C. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author)The discovery of the extremely shallow amorphous boron-crystalline silicon heterojunction occurred during the development of highly sensitive, hard and robust detectors for low-penetration-depth ionizing radiation, such as ultraviolet photons and low-energy electrons (below 1 keV). For many years it was believed that the junction created by...review 2021

Fang, H. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author)A computational 3D model that accounts for both nucleation and interface migration is a very useful tool to monitor and grasp the complexity of microstructure formation in low-alloyed steels. In the present study we have developed a 3D mixed-mode multigrain model for the austenite-ferrite and the austenite-ferrite-austenite formation capable...journal article 2021

Wang, F. (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Fang, Jun (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)This paper concerns wideband direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with sparse linear arrays (SLAs). We rely on the assumption that the power spectrum of the wideband sources is the same up to a scaling factor, which could in theory allow us to resolve not only more sources than the number of antennas but also more sources than the number of...conference paper 2020

Peternel, L. (author), Fang, Cheng (author), Laghi, Marco (author), Bicchi, Antonio (author), Tsagarakis, Nikos (author), Ajoudani, Arash (author)In this paper, we propose a method for improving the human operator's arm posture during bilateral teleoperation. The method is based on a musculoskeletal model that considers human operator's arm dynamics and the feedback force from the haptic interface (master), which is used to control a robotic arm (slave) in a remote environment. We...conference paper 2020

Guo, Y. (author), Tian, X. (author), Fang, Guohua (author), Xu, Yue Ping (author)Inter-basin water transfers (IBWT) are implemented to re-allocate unevenly distributed water resources. However, many conflicting objectives associated with society, economy, and environment have made the water resources allocation problem in IBWT more complicated than ever before. Thus, there is a continuous need for in-depth research with...journal article 2020

Fang, C. (author), Mohammodi, V. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author)A new generation of radiation detectors relies on the crystalline Si and amorphous B (c-Si/a-B) junctions that are prepared through chemical vapor deposition of diborane (B<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>) on Si at low temperature (∼400 C). The Si wafer surface is dominated by the Si{0 0 1}3 1 domains that consist of two different Si species at low...journal article 2020

Du, T. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Jansen, S.C. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Fang, J. (author)Due to the critical need for reducing carbon emissions, the demand for energy-efficient building design is urgent. Studies have shown that space layouts affect energy performance considerably. Energy performance optimisation is able to improve energy performance significantly. However, in order to apply energy performance optimisation to space...review 2020

Fang, J. (author), Chen, Jianyu (author), Lee, Jinho (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author), Hofstee, H.P. (author)To best leverage high-bandwidth storage and network technologies requires an improvement in the speed at which we can decompress data. We present a “refine and recycle” method applicable to LZ77-type decompressors that enables efficient high-bandwidth designs and present an implementation in reconfigurable logic. The method refines the write...journal article 2020

Fang, J. (author)Though field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been used to accelerate database systems, they have not been widely adopted for the following reasons. As databases have transitioned to higher bandwidth technology such as in-memory and NVMe, the communication overhead associated with accelerators has become more of a burden. Also, FPGAs are...doctoral thesis 2019
