(author), Zang, Bin (author)The present study assesses the ability to numerically predict turbulence-interaction noise of a NACA0012 airfoil with grid-generated turbulence by utilizing the Lattice Boltzmann solver PowerFLOW. Both the near-field flow characteristics and far field noise are bench-marked against an existing experimental study. The grid was chosen to match...conference paper 2023

Zhou, J. (author), Kim, Raphael (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Soares de Oliveira Martins, J. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author), Karana, E. (author)Microbes offer designers opportunities to endow artefacts with environmental sensing and adapting abilities, and unique expressions. However, microbe-embedded artefacts present a challenge of temporal dissonance, reflected by a “time lag” typically experienced by humans in noticing the gradual and minute shifts in microbial metabolism. This...conference paper 2023

Zhou, Xiaochuan (author), Ganeshpure, D.A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Ghaffarian Niasar, M. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Vaessen, P.T.M. (author)In order to damp the resonance in the MMC-based Arbitrary Wave shape Generator (AWG) used for high voltage testing, an active damping control methodology is proposed in this paper instead of the passive damping with an arm resistor. It is vital to ensure the system’s stability when such an active damping closed loop control is implemented....conference paper 2023

Decouchant, Jérémie (author), Kulahcioglu Ozkan, Burcu (author), Zhou, Yanzhuo (author)Byzantine consensus protocols aim at maintaining safety guarantees under any network synchrony model and at providing liveness in partially or fully synchronous networks. However, several Byzantine consensus protocols have been shown to violate liveness properties under certain scenarios. Existing testing methods for checking the liveness of...conference paper 2023

Zhou, Y. (author)Robots navigating in social environments inevitably exhibit behavior perceived as inappropriate by people, which they will repeat unless they are aware of them; hindering their social acceptance. This highlights the importance of robots detecting and adapting to the perceived appropriateness of their behavior, in line with what we found in a...conference paper 2023

Pan, Tanbo (author), Zheng, Yonglai (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Wu, Zhuorui (author), Zhou, Yujue (author)Externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in structural strengthening and retrofitting. Premature debonding of the FRP severely limits the efficiency of CFRP utilization. The application of CRRP anchorage system offers a solution to the debonding problem. However, the understanding of damage mode identification...conference paper 2023

It is effective to distill noise and infer correct labels through aggregating results from crowd workers. To ensure the time relevance and overcome slow responses of workers, online label aggregation is increasingly requested, calling for solutions that can...conference paper 2021
