Lu, Tao (author), Chen, Rong (author), Wang, Ping (author), Wu, Junwei (author), Steenbergen, M.J.M.M. (author)This work addresses the contribution of the wavelength composition of the spectrum of the rail support stiffness profile to the expected long-term settlement. To that aim, purely harmonic stiffness variations of different wavelength are studied. The frequency-domain model with a double periodicity level previously developed by the first and...journal article 2023

Wu, Jun (author), Miller, Thomas E. (author), Cicirello, A. (author), Mortimer, Beth (author)Often overlooked, vibration transmission through the entire body of an animal is an important factor in understanding vibration sensing in animals. To investigate the role of dynamic properties and vibration transmission through the body, we used a modal test and lumped parameter modelling for a spider. The modal test used laser vibrometry...journal article 2023

(author), Chang, Mau Chung Frank (author)The exploration of icy body composition in the solar system has often involved spectroscopic measurements of volatiles detected with remote sensing, such measurements portray materials naturally expelled from the surface that enter the exosphere and potentially escape into space. Variations in the ratio of deuterium and hydrogen in these...journal article 2023

(author), Subramanian, S.S. (author), Biemolt, J. (author), Rufford, Thomas E. (author), Burdyny, T.E. (author)Electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> presents an attractive way to store renewable energy in chemical bonds in a potentially carbon-neutral way. However, the available electrolyzers suffer from intrinsic problems, like flooding and salt accumulation, that must be overcome to industrialize the technology. To mitigate flooding and salt...journal article 2023

Garner, E. (author), Wu, J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Patient-specific implants offer a host of benefits over their generic counterparts. Nonetheless, the design and optimization of these components present several technical challenges, among them being the need to ensure their insertability into the host bone tissue. This presents a significant challenge due to the tight-fitting nature of the...journal article 2023

Wang, X. (author), Baldi, S. (author), Feng, Xuewei (author), Wu, Changwei (author), Xie, Hongwei (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The vector field method was originally proposed to guide a single fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) towards a desired path. In this work, a non-uniform vector field method is proposed that changes in both magnitude and direction, for the purpose of achieving formations of UAVs. As compared to related work in the literature, the...journal article 2023

Chen, Bei (author), Yu, Xin (author), Dong, Fuqiang (author), Wu, Wenxiu (author), Zu, Yuanzhe (author), Ren, S. (author)High-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) is the most commonly applied method in drainage asphalt pavements. However, some disadvantages of hot-mix HVMA, including high energy consumption and unavoidable environmental pollution, should be improved. Therefore, warm-mix additive (WMA) was introduced. In this paper, the effects of WMA on the...journal article 2023

Huang, Man (author), Su, Dongchao (author), Zhao, Zhirui (author), Wu, Lianghong (author), Fang, B. (author), Ning, Fulong (author)The trial production of natural gas hydrate reservoirs remains poor. Reasonable reservoir reconstruction, which can improve formation permeability, is an important approach to increasing the efficiency and enhancing production. In this work, water jet slotting is proposed to reconstruct an natural gas hydrate reservoir near a wellbore. The...journal article 2023
