Sugano, K. (author), Lu, Simo (author)The hydrological cycle crosses three environments: the geosphere, the biosphere, and the technosphere. The geosphere is the collective name for lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. The technosphere is the part of environment composed by wide variety of technological artefacts and the biosphere is composed of all ecosystems. These spheres can...report 2019

Lu, X. (author), Ridha, M. (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Tan, V. B.C. (author), Tay, T. E. (author)The cohesive element (CE) has been widely used to model delamination in laminated composites. The penalty stiffness, interfacial strength and fracture toughness are three CE parameters that often determine the accuracy of the numerical analysis by finite elements (FEs). The fracture toughness may be experimentally determined through standard...journal article 2019

Butijn, Martin (author), Lu, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)This paper investigates the human controllers’ sensitivity to added first-order lag-lead and lead-lag dy- namics in the controlled system dynamics using a cybernetic approach and a dedicated human-in-the-loop experiment. The extent to which human controllers will adapt their control dynamics to these added dynamics is objectively determined and...conference paper 2019

Lu, Y. (author), Dong, Jianzhi (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author)The spatial heterogeneity and temporal variation of soil moisture and surface heat fluxes are key to many geophysical and environmental studies. It has been demonstrated that they can be mapped by assimilating soil thermal and wetness information into surface energy balance models. The aim of this work is to determine whether enhancing the...journal article 2019

Sadri, M. (author), Lu, T. (author), Steenbergen, M.J.M.M. (author)This study addresses the contribution of spatial variance in the railway track support stiffness to the expected long-term track degradation. Hereto, a novel frequency-domain model is developed with a double periodicity ‘layer’, capable of dealing with both sleeper periodicity and arbitrary non-uniformity in track properties. The model...journal article 2019

Lu, T. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)A new high-order model for in-plane vibrations of rotating rings is developed in this paper. The inner surface of the ring is connected to an immovable axis through an elastic foundation (distributed springs), whereas the outer surface is traction free. The developed model enables the dynamic analysis of the rings on stiff elastic foundation...journal article 2019

(author)In conditionally automated driving, drivers do not have to monitor the road, whereas in partially automated driving, drivers have to monitor the road permanently. We evaluated a dynamic allocation of monitoring tasks to human and automation by providing a monitoring request (MR) before a possible take-over request (TOR), with the aim to...journal article 2019
