Yang, L. (author), Deng, Yong (author), Piqueira, Jose Roberto Castilho (author)As a fascinating branch of the emerging network science, the mission of the epidemic dynamics on networks is to understand how objects spread in networks and thereby to work out cost-effective strategy for restraining undesirable objects or promoting desirable objects. This special issue contains ten excellent papers about this subject.contribution to periodical 2017

(author), Terryn, H.A. (author)This work introduces a new self-healing superhydrophobic coating based on dual actions by the corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole (BTA) and an epoxy-based shape memory polymer (SMP). Damage to the surface morphology (e.g., crushed areas and scratches) and the corresponding superhydrophobicity are shown to be rapidly healed through a simple heat...journal article 2017

Deng, Z. (author), Mol, S. (author), Van der Hoek, J.P. (author)The heating of drinking water in households contributes significantly to the emission of greenhouse gases. As a water utility aiming to operate at a climate neutral level by 2020, Waternet needs to reduce its CO2 emission by 53?kton?yr?1. To contribute to this ambition, a pilot project was carried out in Uilenstede, Amstelveen, the Netherlands,...journal article 2016

Lyamin, N. (author), Deng, Q. (author), Vinel, A (author)In this paper we evaluate the performance of platoon enabled by contemporary ITS-G5 vehicular communications through the number of simulation experiments. We assess platooning fuel consumption performance under two communication setups and estimate the potential influence of the communication system on the efficiency of the platooning. We also...conference paper 2016

Xiao, Tianhang (author), Li, Zhengzhou (author), Deng, S. (author), Ang, Haisong (author), Zhou, Xinchun (author)The aerodynamic characteristics around a micro air vehicle wing with an inverse-Zimmerman configuration are numerically investigated by an in-house programmed solver particularly dedicated for aircrafts operating in low Reynolds number regime. The complex three-dimensional aerodynamic performance was investigated in terms of force generation...journal article 2016

Deng, S. (author), Xiao, T. (author), Van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Bijl, H. (author)A numerical investigation is performed to address the flexing effect on the propulsion performance of flapping wing particularly on the counter-flapping wings of the biplane configuration. A Reynolds number of 10,000 is considered in the present study which corresponds to the flight regime of most existing flapping wing micro air vehicles. The...journal article 2015

Deng, X. (author)The Shenzhen planning system has been effective in promoting economic growth through the prodigious urbanization of land. It has given priority to the ‘macro-level’ planning goals of economic growth through physical development. Questions can be raised about the physical and social outcomes from the development process at the ‘micro-level’, not...conference paper 2015

Deng, W. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)This paper reviews the housing policy of China from 1949-2013. It examines the housing tenure change, policy instruments, and impacts social structures in different time periods. After the welfare period of 1949-77, the dual provision period of 1978-1998, and the market dominant period of 1999-2011, China’s housing policy was again reformed...report 2015

Deng, S. (author), Percin, M. (author), Van Oudheusden, B. (author)This study explores the flow structures and unsteady force generation mechanisms of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle ‘DelFly Micro’ in forward flight configuration. Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) measurements were performed to acquire three dimensional flow fields in the wake. Six components of forces and moments were...journal article 2015

(author)The rolling contact of elastic bodies (upper body and lower body) can be analyzed with the Hertz theory and the Kalker’s model. It is generally believed that the width of the contact area should be much smaller than the characteristic size of each elastic body, to ensure that the half-space assumption is valid. However the definition of “much...conference paper 2014
