Song, Dongdong (author), Yang, Xiaobao (author), Ch. Anastasopoulos, Panagiotis (author), Zu, Xingshui (author), Yue, Xianfei (author), Yang, Y. (author)Traffic barrier crashes have been a major concern in many prior studies in traffic safety literature, especially in the crash-prone sections of mountainous regions. However, the effect of factors affecting the injury-severities resulting from crashes involving different types of traffic barriers may be different. This paper provides an...journal article 2023

Su, Xiangtong (author), Zhi, Danyue (author), Song, Dongdong (author), Tian, Le (author), Yang, Y. (author)Background: Existing studies mainly focus on the relationship between real-time weather and traffic crash injury severity, while few scholars have investigated the operation risk levels caused by traffic incidents. Identifying weather-related factors that affect the incident-induced delay is helpful for estimating the delay levels when an...journal article 2023

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)To assess the structural capacity of reinforced concrete structures, identifying the internal cracks is important. Acoustic emission (AE) is promising to estimate the location of internal cracks. However, the localization is influenced by many factors like arrival time picking error, presence of crack, etc., resulting in localization error. The...journal article 2023

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Fennis, Sonja A.A.M. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)Acoustic emission (AE) signal parameters can be used to classify the source type in concrete structures. However, signal parameters are influenced by the wave propagation from the source to the receiver, leading to wrong source classification results, especially for monitoring large concrete structures. This paper experimentally evaluates the...journal article 2022

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author), van der Veen, C. (author)Load testing and in some cases failure (or collapse) testing of bridges is a method to learn more about the behaviour of full-scale bridges in site conditions. Since such experiments, especially failure tests, are expensive, an extensive preparation of these tests is important. This paper addresses the question of when a bridge is a good...journal article 2022

Tajdari, F. (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Song, Y. (author)Preserving features of a surface as characteristic local shape properties captured e.g. by curvature, during non-rigid registration is always difficult where finding meaningful correspondences, assuring the robustness and the convergence of the algorithm while maintaining the quality of mesh are often challenges due to the high degrees of...journal article 2022

de Putter, Arjen (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Engen, Morten (author), van den Bos, Ab A. (author)Nineteen 2D nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) solution strategies were benchmarked against a wide variety of 101 experiments on reinforced concrete beams failing in bending, flexural shear, or shear compression. The relatively high number of solution strategies was motivated by the conviction that choices for the constitutive models,...journal article 2022

(author)Within the steelmaking industry, a large amount of zinc-bearing waste is produced which cannot be effectively treated through integrated steel mills. Concurrently, zinc smelters generate waste residues containing significant amounts of iron and zinc which are stored or landfilled. The zinc concentration of iron and steelmaking residues...journal article 2022

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Naaktgeboren, N.M. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)This paper proposes a new damage identification method, namely, the probability density field of acoustic emission (AE) events. This new method provides a different perspective to deal with the uncertainties in the source localization process. We treat the source location as a random variable, and estimate its probability density field based...journal article 2022

Mustafa, S. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Sliedrecht, Henk (author)The safety of existing slab-between-girder bridges is subject to discussion in the Netherlands. Current design codes are conservative for shear-critical girders, and nonlinear finite element analysis is considered a more accurate assessment method. This paper investigates if the Dutch guidelines for nonlinear finite element analysis, which were...journal article 2022

Hage, J. L.T. (author), van der Stel, J. (author), Yang, Y. (author)Silicon [Si] in hot metal is an impurity acting in the steel shop as an energy source that is released by oxidation during oxygen blowing in the converter. Preferred silicon concentration in hot steel is typically 0.4 wt-% (± 0.1 wt-%), helping predictable and low-cost processing. In practice, the Si concentration is difficult to control and...journal article 2022

Roosen, M.A. (author), Yang, Y. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Schaafsma, Dick G. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)When the shear resistance of prestressed beams with stirrups is determined with the current Eurocode, no distinction is made between regions with and without flexural cracks. This while it may be expected that a region without flexural cracks will have a higher shear resistance. This is due to the lower longitudinal strains and the narrow...journal article 2022

(author)Axisymmetric standing waves occur across a wide range of free surface flows. When these waves reach a critical height (steepness), wave breaking and jet formation occur. For travelling surface gravity waves, wave breaking is generally considered to limit wave height and reversible wave motion. In the ocean, the behaviour of directionally...journal article 2022
