Liu, Xiaoming (author), Dai, Ji (author), Wu, Di (author), Jiang, Feng (author), Chen, Guanghao (author), Chui, Ho Kwong (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Global water security is a severe issue that threatens human health and well-being. Finding sustainable alternative water resources has become a matter of great urgency. For coastal urban areas, desalinated seawater could serve as a freshwater supply. However, since 20%–30% of the water supply is used for flushing waste from the city,...journal article 2016

Jiang, X. (author), Qiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)The research presented in this paper is an experimental study and numerical analysis on mechanical behavior of the adhesively-bonded joint between FRP sandwich bridge deck and steel girder. Generally, there are three typical stress states in the adhesively-bonded joint: shear stress, tensile stress, and combination of both. To realize these...journal article 2016

Cai, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Jiang, C. (author), Zhao, L. (author), Yang, Q. (author)The mean water level in estuaries rises in the landward direction due to a combination of the density gradient, the tidal asymmetry, and the backwater effect. This phenomenon is more prominent under an increase of the fresh water discharge, which strongly intensifies both the tidal asymmetry and the backwater effect. However, the interactions...journal article 2016

Jiang, J. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper presents a temperature-insensitive magnetic sensor system for contactless current measurements. To simultaneously achieve wide bandwidth and low noise, the proposed system employs a multi-path structure with a set of spinning current Hall sensors in its low-frequency path and a set of pick-up coils in its high-frequency path. The...journal article 2017

Jiang, J. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper proposes a multipath multisensor architecture for CMOS magnetic sensors, which effectively extends their bandwidth without compromising either their offset or resolution. Two designs utilizing the proposed architecture were fabricated in a 0.18-μm standard CMOS process. In the first, the combination of spinning-current Hall sensors...journal article 2017

Jiang, X. (author), Luo, Chengwei (author), Qiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)The FRP-steel girder composite bridge system is increasingly used in new constructions of bridges as well as rehabilitation of old bridges. However, the understanding of composite action between FRP decks and steel girders is limited and needs to be systematically investigated. In this paper, depending on the experimental investigations of...journal article 2017

Jiang, H. (author), Vogel, J.G. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author)This paper presents a direct digital converter for Wheatstone bridge sensors, which is realized with commercial off-the-shelf components. The power efficiency of the readout is enhanced by embedding the bridge sensor in a second-order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator (CTDeltaSigmaM). By directly digitizing the output signal of a Wheatstone...journal article 2017

Liu, Z. (author), Chen, Kai (author), Li, Z. (author), Jiang, X. (author)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been increasingly applied to steel structures for structural strengthening or crack repair, given its high strength-to-weight ratio and high stiffness-to-weight ratio. Cracks in steel structures are the dominant hidden threats to structural safety. However, it is difficult to monitor structural cracks under...journal article 2017
