Zhu, G. (author), Xiao, Y. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Wang, J. (author), Sun, B. (author), Boom, R. (author)Recycling of aluminum alloy scrap obtained from delaminated fibre metal laminates (FMLs) was studied through high temperature refining in the presence of a salt flux. The aluminum alloy scrap contains approximately mass fraction w(Cu) = 4.4%, w(Mg) = 1.1% and w(Mn) = 0.6% (2024 aluminum alloy). The main objective of this research is to obtain a...journal article 2012

Zhu, G. (author), Xiao, Y. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Wang, J. (author), Sun, B. (author), Boom, R. (author)GLARE (glass fibre/epoxy reinforced aluminum laminate) is a member of the fiber metal laminate (FML) family, and is built up of alternating metal and fiber layers. About 500m2 GLARE is employed in each Airbus A380 because of the superior mechanical properties over the monolithic aluminum alloys, such as weight reduction, improved damage...journal article 2012

(author), Glazman, L. (author), Devoret, M.H. (author), Schoelkopf, R.J. (author)We have engineered the band gap profile of transmon qubits by combining oxygen-doped Al for tunnel junction electrodes and clean Al as quasiparticle traps to investigate energy relaxation due to quasiparticle tunneling. The relaxation time T1 of the qubits is shown to be insensitive to this band gap engineering. Operating at relatively low-EJ/EC...journal article 2012

Sun, Q. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Yang, J. (author), Qiu, Y. (author), Zhang, H. (author)This paper presents a method to control chaotic behavior of a typical Smart Grid based on generalized fuzzy hyperbolic model (GFHM). As more and more distributed generations (DG) are incorporated into the Smart Grid, the chaotic behavior occurs increasingly. To verify the behavior, a dynamic model which describes a power system with DG is...journal article 2014

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Turrin, M. (author), von Buelow, P. (author), Paul, J.C. (author)Currently, in the conceptual envelope design of sports facilities, multiple engineering performance feedbacks (e.g. daylight, energy and structural performance) are expected to assist architectural design decision-making. In general, it is known as Building Performance Optimization in the conceptual architectural design phase. Essentially, it...conference paper 2015

We investigate the double diffusive convection between two parallel plates with either no-slip or free-slip boundary conditions. Direct numerical simulations have been conducted systematically for a series of control parameters. Salt fingers can be observed for both boundary conditions and all parameters explored. Compared to the no-slip case,...conference paper 2015

Turrin, M. (author), Yang, D. (author), D'Aquilio, A. (author), Sileryte, R. (author), Sun, Y (author)The design of sport buildings has great impact on top-sport as well as on recreational sport-activities. It implies challenging tasks in meeting the performance-requirements. This includes the control of factors like daylight/lighting, air flow, thermal conditions, just to name a few. Such factors impact the performance of athletes and are hard...journal article 2016

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Y (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable “surrogate models” (also known as “Response Surface Models — RSMs” or “metamodels”), are constructed and validated for each...conference paper 2016

Sun, Wei (author), Poot, D.H.J. (author), Smal, Ihor (author), Yang, Xuan (author), Niessen, W.J. (author), Klein, S. (author)Image registration is typically formulated as an optimization process, which aims to find the optimal transformation parameters of a given transformation model by minimizing a cost function. Local minima may exist in the optimization landscape, which could hamper the optimization process. To eliminate local minima, smoothing the cost function...journal article 2017

(author), Chen, Yu (author), Xu, Chi (author)Representation learning (RL) has recently proven to be effective in capturing local item relationships by modeling item co-occurrence in individual user's interaction record. However, the value of RL for recommendation has not reached the full potential due to two major drawbacks: 1) recommendation is modeled as a rating prediction problem...conference paper 2017

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author)The comparison of various competing design concepts during conceptual architectural design is commonly needed for achieving a good final concept. For this, computational design exploration is a key approach. Unfortunately, most<br/>of existing research tends to skip this crucial process, and purely focuses on the late-stage design optimization...conference paper 2017

Venkatesan, P. (author), Sun, Z.H.I. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Yang, Y. (author)In this manuscript, we demonstrate a room temperature electrochemical process for efficiently recycling NdFeB magnet waste. First, the magnet waste was completely leached with HCl and then, in-situ electrochemical oxidation was performed to selectively oxidize Fe(II) in the leachate to Fe(III). Finally, oxalic acid was added directly to the...journal article 2018
