Mozaffar, M. (author), Bostanabad, R. (author), Chen, W. (author), Ehmann, K. (author), Cao, J. (author), Bessa, M.A. (author)Plasticity theory aims at describing the yield loci and work hardening of a material under general deformation states. Most of its complexity arises from the nontrivial dependence of the yield loci on the complete strain history of a material and its microstructure. This motivated 3 ingenious simplifications that underpinned a century of...journal article 2019

Cao, Haobing (author), Zhu, Zhenchang (author), Balke, Thorsten (author), Zhang, Liquan (author), Bouma, T.J. (author)Seedling establishment is an important process relevant for the restoration of salt marsh within the framework of sustainable coastal defense schemes. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted how the short-term (i.e., the day-to-day) sediment dynamics can form major bottlenecks for seedling establishment. Until recently, studies on...journal article 2018

Taghvafard, Hadi (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Cao, Ming (author)To understand the sophisticated control mechanisms of the human's endocrine system is a challenging task that is a crucial step towards precise medical treatment of many dysfunctions and diseases. Although mathematical models describing the endocrine system as a whole are still elusive, recently some substantial progress has been made in...journal article 2018

Wang, Y. (author), Cao, G. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author)In this paper, a modelling method and an accurate numerical procedure are presented to simulate the dynamical responses of a multi-cable driven parallel suspension platform system. For such systems, the cables might become slack due to external excitations and due to the fact that cables can become tensionless when been pushed in longitudinal...journal article 2018

Kapitanyuk, Yuri A. (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Cao, Ming (author)In this paper, we propose an algorithm for path-following control of the nonholonomic mobile robot based on the idea of the guiding vector field (GVF). The desired path may be an arbitrary smooth curve in its implicit form, that is, a level set of a predefined smooth function. Using this function and the robot's kinematic model, we design a...journal article 2018

(author), Chu, Ju (author)Oxygen limitation is regarded as a useful strategy to improve enzyme production by mycelial fungus like Aspergillus niger. However, the intracellular metabolic response of A. niger to oxygen limitation is still obscure. To address this, the metabolism of A. niger was studied using multi-omics integrated analysis based on the latest GEMs ...journal article 2018

van Horssen, W.T. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Cao, G. (author)In this paper, it is shown how characteristic coordinates, or equivalently how the well-known formula of d'Alembert, can be used to solve initial-boundary value problems for wave equations on fixed, bounded intervals involving Robin type of boundary conditions with time-dependent coefficients. A Robin boundary condition is a condition that...journal article 2018
