Hong, H. (author), Ye, Li (author), Li, Ke (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Liu, Zewen (author)In this paper, we report a modified three step anisotropic wet etching (TSWE) method to fabricate solid-state silicon nanoslits. The slit-opening process is performed by <111> crystal plane etching. The etching rate of the <111> crystal plane is reasonably slow as it is only 1/45 of the <100> etching rate, thus allowing and...conference paper 2021

(author), Hohmann, T. (author), Kallioras, A. (author)The co-occurrence of storm surge, high tides and heavy precipitation increases flood probability and potential consequences compared to each hazard separately in Delta cities. The Huangpu River (HP) is a tributary of the Yangtze River in China, which drains Tai Lake to the west of Shanghai city, and meanders through downtown Shanghai. During...conference paper 2020

Liu, Dong (author), Hasanov, Urfan (author), Ye, Changqing (author), Gou, Xiaofan (author), Wang, X. (author)Compared with partially superconducting generators, fully superconducting generators (F-SCGs) can further increase the torque density in large direct-drive wind turbine applications. Design trends of F-SCGs intend to increase the electrical loading by applying superconducting wires and boost the current density in the armature winding to meet...conference paper 2020

IJtsma, M (author), Ye, S. (author), Feigh, K.M. (author)To foster resilience in teams operating in complex work domains, design should allow for a range of work strategies as appropriate to context. This paper describes how computational simulation and network visualization of a team’s work can identify feasible work strategies and assess their appropriateness for different contexts. Network...conference paper 2019

Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Infrastructure is ageing and we are facing a serious challenge on how to deal with it. One possible solution is to repair it, but the life of current concrete repairs, including all types of repairs and application of different materials, is not satisfactory and there is an urgent need for improvement. Understanding the damage development in a...conference paper 2019

Chen, B. (author), Sun, Yubo (author), Jacquemin, Loic (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Blom, Kees (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author)At present, most municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash, as being disposed of as waste, is directly landfilled, raising concern about the environmental issue and potential loss of resources. Given that the natural raw materials used for cement production are being depleted, the recycling of MSWI bottom ash for the application as...conference paper 2019

Romani, G. (author), Ye, Q. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Casalino, D. (author)Aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of the turbulent flow developing over a fuselage on fan noise for Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) embedded propulsion systems. Such engine configurations can suffer from inlet flow distortions and ingestion of turbulence at the fan plane with consequent impact on both broadband and tonal fan...conference paper 2019

Ye, Q. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Choudhari, Meelan (author), Casalino, D. (author)Surface roughness elements are often used to force laminar to turbulent transition during aerodynamic and aeroacoustic experiments in wind tunnels. The statistical features and frequency content of the forced turbulent boundary layer can influence the far-field trailing edge noise. To study this dependence, boundary layer transition induced by...conference paper 2019

Valle Torre, M. (author), Ye, Mengmeng (author), Lofi, C.

However, such information is often subjective, disputed, or unclear. Thus, social judgments like comments,...conference paper 2019

Mazaheripour, Hadi (author), Faria, Rui (author), Azenha, Miguel (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Exposing reinforced concrete (RC) structures to aggressive environmental conditions is one of the main reasons that may limit their service life. Diffusion of chloride ions through concrete cover is one of the most damaging environmental actions, since it may cause corrosion of steel reinforcement. Therefore, modelling this phenomenon allows...conference paper 2018
