Lu, T. (author), Li, Z. (author), Huang, H. (author)Shrinkage-induced cracking can impair the durability of concrete structures. In the past few decades, this topic has drawn more and more attention. Shrinkage of mortar and concrete is actually the result of the interaction between the shrinking cement paste and the non-shrinking aggregates. In recent years, different models that consider the...journal article 2021

Huang, Yu-Chih (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Peternel, L. (author)In tele-impedance the human can control the impedance of the remote robot through various interfaces, in addition to controlling the motion. While this can improve the performance of the remote robot in unpredictable and unstructured environments, it can add more workload to the human operator compared to the classic teleoperation. This paper...conference paper 2021

Morphodynamic modeling the impact of large-scale embankment on the large bar in a convergent estuaryXie, Dongfeng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Huang, Junbao (author)Many alluvial estuaries worldwide include an inside bar system, a large sediment deposit deeply stretched into the estuary. A good example of such a system is the large sediment deposit in the Qiantang Estuary, China. Its length and height reach 130 km and 10 m, respectively. Bathymetrical comparison reveals that the large bar has moved seaward...journal article 2021

Huang, Yu-Chih (author)Teleoperation of a robot is often necessary when the remote site is not safe for humans. Moreover, to interact with dynamic environments safely, a teleoperation method called teleimpedance, which allows the human operator to control the impedance of the robot, is used. The main drawback of this method is that the human workload may increase....master thesis 2020
