Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Li, J. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)In order to characterize adequately the adhesive bonding strength of the various membranes with surrounding materials on orthotropic steel decks and collect the necessary parameters for FE modeling, details of the Membrane Adhesion Test (MAT) have been introduced. Analytical constitutive relations of MAT device have been derived on the basis of...conference paper 2012

Sun, C. (author), Liu, S.L. (author)In this study, we exploit the ?PIV (microscale particle image velocimetry) analysis to investigate the internal flow field of a dividing droplet in a bifurcating microchannel. Herein, droplets are generated by a flow focusing scheme and sent downstream toward an asymmetric bifurcation. In order to control the proportion of split droplets, we...conference paper 2013

Liu, K. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Arnold, P. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Hysteresis is a well-known phenomenon that exists in the soil water retention behaviour of unsaturated soils. However, there is little research on the effects of hysteresis on slope stability. If included in slope stability analyses, commonly the suction in the unsaturated zone is taken as non-hysteretic. In this paper, the authors investigate...conference paper 2015

Liu, K. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Jommi, C. (author)Piping has been attributed as a major cause of dam and embankment failures. Current national prediction models to predict piping use the hydraulic gradient between the upstream and downstream water levels as an indicator. They are deterministic and take no account of preferential pathways. However, piping usually initiates from a discrete...conference paper 2015

Zhang, Jiyi (author), Li, Gang (author), Liu, Youzhi (author), Yin, Pengcheng (author), Yu, Jinyu (author), Shi, Zhifeng (author)Since the introduction of the concept of 3D cadastre, a great many of significant research results have been done. To promote the development of 3D cadatre, 3D cadastre working group sponsored by International Federation Surveyors (FIG) commissions 3 and 7 was organized by Delft University of Technology in 2001. This working group provides a...conference paper 2018

Alers, H. (author), Liu, H. (author), Redi, J. (author), Heynderickx, I. (author)Manufacturers of commercial display devices continuously try to improve the perceived image quality of their products. By applying some post processing techniques on the incoming image signal, they aim to enhance the quality level perceived by the viewer. Applying such techniques may cause side effects on different portions of the processed...conference paper 2010

Rotteveel, E. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Liu, J. (author)For inland ships, state-of-the-art hull form design is to a large extent based on experience, common sense, or adjusting previous designs. The idea therefore arises that further optimization is possible if the right knowledge is available. This knowledge is insufficiently available due to two main reasons. First, research into inland ship...conference paper 2014

Liu, H. (author), Heynderickx, I. (author)Developing an objective metric, which automatically quantifies perceived image quality degradation induced by blur, is highly beneficial for current digital imaging systems. In many applications, these objective metrics need to be of the noreference (NR) type, which implies that quality prediction is based on the distorted image only. Recent...conference paper 2010

Zuo, Chenjia (author), Zhang, Yixiang (author), Tong, Yudong (author), Liu, Yanbo (author)Synthetic fibers have been widely studied as reinforcing materials to increase the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. According to its diameter, fibers can be categorized as micro and macro (or coarse) fibers. As most research focuses on the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete, its chloride permeability properties...conference paper 2021
