Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Compared with other self-healing mechanisms, embedding vascular networks in cementitious matrix enables repairing wider cracks and performing multiple healing cycles. For vascular-based self-healing cementitious composites, additive manufacturing (AM) allows fabricating vascular structures with complex geometry. For Fused Filament Fabrication ...book chapter 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Ge, X. (author), Theuwissen, A.J.P. (author)In a 4T pixel, the transfer gate (TG) “OFF” surface potential is one of the important parameters, which determines the pinned photodiode (PPD) full well capacity. The feed-forward effect measurement is a powerful tool to characterize the relationship of the PPD injection potential and the feed-forward electrons. In this paper, a parameter Vb is...conference paper 2015

(author), Schlangen, E. (author)Soft inclusions, such as capsules and other particulate admixtures are increasingly being used in cementitious materials for functional purposes (i.e. self-healing and self-sensing of concrete). Yet, their influence on the fracture behaviour of the material is sometimes overlooked and requires in-depth study for the optimization of mechanical...conference paper 2019

Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Strain hardening cementitious composites are a class of cementitious materials showing metal-like (i.e. pseudo-plastic) behavior in tension due to their multiple cracking ability. This is commonly achieved through use of fiber reinforcement (such as PVA) or, similarly, textile reinforcement (TRC). Increasing the ductility is important in...conference paper 2019

Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Traditionally, mechanical properties of cementitious materials are designed<br/>“chemically”, namely by configuring their mix proportions. Owning to the development of 3D printing technology, “physical” tailoring the meso-structure of cementitious materials to design their mechanical properties becomes possible. In the present study,...conference paper 2019

(author), Xu, Y. (author)The distribution of people in buildings, the occupancy of lecture-, work- and study places and the accessibility of facilities are essential information at university campuses who have to cope with limited and even shrinking budgets and huge, rising real estate costs. Only little insight is gained in both occupancy and movement patterns with...conference paper 2016

Huigen, Vincent (author), Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)In order to improve the behaviour of cementitious material under in bending, 3D printed polymeric lattice meshes were used as an alternative to fibre reinforcement. Lattice meshes with different cell sizes and different surface roughness were designed and printed. Plain mortar samples and reinforced samples were casted. After curing, 4-point...conference paper 2018

Xu, Y. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)In this paper, we propose a learning-based lightweight visual-inertial odometry (VIO) based on an uncertainty-aware pose network and an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The pose network serving as the VIO vision front-end predicts the relative motion of the camera between consecutive image frames and estimates the prediction uncertainty. The...conference paper 2023

Xu, Y. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)When deployed onboard micro air vehicles (MAVs) with limited processing power, visual ego-motion estimation solutions face an efficiency-accuracy trade-off. This paper proposes an aerodynamic-model-aided approach that emphasizes time efficiency over estimation accuracy. A linear drag force model of propellers guarantees bounded estimation errors...conference paper 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)COVID-19 significantly influenced travel behaviours and public attitudes towards public transport. Various studies have illustrated complicated factors related to long-term travel behaviour, indicating difficulty in understanding and predicting post-pandemic long-term travel behaviour via traditional methods. In these complex circumstances,...conference paper 2023

Xu, Y. (author)This thesis gives an insightful analysis of the pinned photodiode 4T CMOS pixel from three different aspects. Firstly, from the charge accumulated aspect, the PPD full well capacity and related parameters of influence are investigated such as the pinning voltage, and transfer gate potential barrier. Secondly, from the charge transfer aspect, the...doctoral thesis 2015
