Zheng, Y. (author)This dissertation is dedicated to understanding the potential of improving the motion comfort of automated vehicles and explores multiple options that serve this purpose. Comfort is usually prioritized behind factors such as safety and efficiency but is nevertheless influential to the acceptance of automated vehicles. The goal of enhancing...doctoral thesis 2023

Rajesh, Nishant (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)Automated vehicles promise numerous advantages to their users. The proposed benefits could however be overshadowed by a rise in the susceptibility of passengers to motion sickness due to their engagement in non-driving tasks. Increasing attention is paid to designing vehicle motion to mitigate motion sickness. In this work, the deep...journal article 2023

Zheng, Y. (author), Sharma, H. (author), Borregaard, J. (author)Recently we became aware of an important reference that was published during the preparations of our manuscript, which we failed to cite in the original paper. In Ref. [1], the authors propose a similar scheme for the generation of multiple entangled pairs between qubit registers using a high-dimensional photonic qudit and cavity-mediated...journal article 2023

Zheng, Y. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Bracken, G. (author)In the heart of the Pearl River Delta, the city of Guangzhou is fast-growing and prone to flooding. In history, people constructed canals based on natural waterways to deal with water problems. The canal system not only served as an important infrastructure but was also as the backbone of urban life. But with the development of the road network...book chapter 2023

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Keviczky, T. (author), Sakka, Monzer Al (author), Dhaens, Miguel (author)The benefits of automated driving can only be fully realized if the occupants are protected from motion sickness. Active suspensions hold the potential to raise the comfort level in automated passenger vehicles by enabling new functionalities in chassis control. One example is to actively lean the vehicle body toward the center of the corner...journal article 2022

Joshi, A. (author), Thakolkaran, P. (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Escande, Maxime (author), Flaschel, Moritz (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author)Within the scope of our recent approach for Efficient Unsupervised Constitutive Law Identification and Discovery (EUCLID), we propose an unsupervised Bayesian learning framework for discovery of parsimonious and interpretable constitutive laws with quantifiable uncertainties. As in deterministic EUCLID, we do not resort to stress data, but...journal article 2022

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Keviczky, T. (author)Motion comfort is the basis of many societal benefits promised by automated driving and motion planning is primarily responsible for this. By planning the spatial trajectory and the velocity profile, motion planners can significantly enhance motion comfort, ideally without sacrificing time efficiency. Active suspensions can push the boundary...conference paper 2022

Thakolkaran, P. (author), Joshi, A. (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Flaschel, Moritz (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author)We propose a new approach for unsupervised learning of hyperelastic constitutive laws with physics-consistent deep neural networks. In contrast to supervised learning, which assumes the availability of stress–strain pairs, the approach only uses realistically measurable full-field displacement and global reaction force data, thus it lies...journal article 2022

Zheng, Y. (author), Sharma, H. (author), Borregaard, J. (author)The generation of multiple entangled qubit pairs between distributed nodes is a prerequisite for a future quantum Internet. To achieve a practicable generation rate, standard protocols based on photonic qubits require multiple long-term quantum memories, which remains a significant experimental challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel...journal article 2022

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Keviczky, T. (author)The public acceptance of automated driving is influenced by multiple factors. Apart from safety being of top priority, comfort and time efficiency also have an impact on the popularity of automated vehicles. These two factors contradict each other as optimizing for one results in the degradation of the other. We investigate in this paper how...conference paper 2021

However, path following algorithm considering the possibility of automated vehicles with rear wheel steering (RWS) is still less investigated. In this study, we implemented nonlinear model...conference paper 2021

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)Loss of lateral stability remains a major cause of road accidents in recent years. Further improvement of passenger vehicle's active safety requires a more efficient utilization of the tire-road friction.

Zheng, Y. (author)The inertial response plays a vital role in electrical networks to reduce the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) following a contingency event. If the inertia has a low or zero value due to a lack of synchronous generators, then the electrical network might experience large undesirable frequency deviations. To overcome this problem, in previous...master thesis 2016

Reese, J.M. (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Lockerby, D.A. (author)In order to capture critical near-wall phenomena in gas micro- and nanoflows within conventional CFD codes, we present scaled Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) constitutive relations. Our scaling is mathematically equivalent to applying an 'effective' viscosity to the original constitutive relations. An expression for this 'effective' transport...conference paper 2006
