Cheng, H. (author), Weemstra, C. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Yang, Y. (author)Coda wave interferometry (CWI) holds promise as a technique for concrete stress monitoring. This is because the coda, which consists of multiply scattered arrivals, is the result of propagation through the medium over large distances. As such, it is sensitive to both minute structural changes and small velocity changes in that medium....journal article 2023

Yao, X. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Vledder, G. (author), Xu, J. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)Wearables are used to recognize human activities in various applications. However, there is limited evidence on the comfort feelings in using wearables, which is crucial for the adoption and long-term engagement of users in those applications. In this paper, we propose the concept of comfort wearables in the context of in-flight posture...journal article 2023

Song, Dongdong (author), Yang, Xiaobao (author), Yang, Y. (author), Cui, Pengfei (author), Zhu, Guangyu (author)Truck-involved crashes, especially truck-car crashes, are associated with serious and even fatal injuries, thus necessitating an in-depth analysis. Prior research focused solely on examining the injury severity of truck drivers or developed separate performance models for truck and car drivers. However, the severity of injuries to both...journal article 2023

Lin, Xu Jie (author), Liu, Er Jian (author), Yang, Y. (author), Jia, Xiang Yu (author), Yan, Xiao Yong (author)Heavy trucks which undertake the majority of freight volume play an important role in urban freight systems. By analyzing heavy truck trip data, we find a superlinear scaling relationship for heavy truck trips and a sublinear scaling relationship for heavy truck numbers relative to urban population size. Although these allometric scaling...journal article 2023
