Yang, Z. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)This paper presents a full finite element (FE) interaction model of wheel-track to study the wheel-rail impact noise caused by squat. The wheel, the rail and some other track components are modeled with finite elements in three dimensions, where necessary and appropriate. Realistic contact geometry, including geometric irregularity (squat) in...conference paper 2013

Li, M. (author), Van Keulen, W. (author), Ceylan, H. (author), Van de Ven, M.F.C. (author), Molenaar, A.A.A. (author)This paper investigates changes in tire/pavement noise caused by variations in the road surface characteristics. This research is based on the analysis of noise and surface characteristics collected from sections with 25 mm thickness thin layer surfacings in the Netherlands. Investigations are first performed on the measured noise levels in 1...journal article 2013

Li, W. (author), De Vriend, H.J. (author), Wang, Z. (author), Van Maren, D.S. (author)High-resolution morphological modeling of fluvial processes with complex, rapidly varying flows has been limited so far by model accuracy or computational efficiency. One of the most widely used numerical algorithms is based on the total variation diminishing method, solved by either upwind or centered approaches. An upwind scheme preserves high...journal article 2013

Li, S. (author)The Yellow River is known as the ‘mother river’ of the Chinese people, but is also said to be ‘China's Sorrow’ or the ‘Scourge of the Sons of Han’, because in history multiple major floods have had catastrophic effects on people and land along the 5000 km long river reaching from the Himalaya’s to the Bohai Sea. Three sections can be...doctoral thesis 2013

Li, J. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)Light weight orthotropic steel bridge decks have been widely utilized for bridges in seismic zones, movable bridges and long span bridges. In the last three decades, severe problems were reported in relation to asphaltic surfacing materials on orthotropic steel deck bridges. Earlier investigations have shown that the bonding strength of membrane...conference paper 2013

Li, J. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)The French five-point bending test (5PBT) provides a laboratory scale test that allows studying the fatigue resistance of surfacing systems on orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSDB). The surfacing structure for OSDB in the Netherlands consists mostly of multilayer system: top porous asphalt layer, guss asphalt layer, steel deck and two membrane...conference paper 2013

Tzimiris, G. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Li, J. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)Due to lightweight and flexibility, orthotropic steel deck bridges become popular the last decades but several problems were reported in relation to asphalt surfacing materials such as rutting, cracking, loss of bond between the surfacing system and steel deck. In the Netherlands a surfacing structure for orthotropic steel bridge decks mostly...conference paper 2013

Oregui, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)Rail joints have a shorter service life than most other railway track components. The discontinuity between rail ends turns the rail joint into a weak spot, and consequently, into a track component demanding more frequent maintenance measures, which result in high maintenance costs. Moreover, difficulties are often found when assessing the...conference paper 2012

Lu, S. (author), Li, J. (author), Van Zuylen, H. (author)Different aspects of the traffic control system in the CBD of Changsha have been evaluated. A general issue is the safety conditions, which are evaluated qualitatively. The second issue is the low saturation flow observed on the intersections, that appear to be 20 to 30% lower than the ones in comparable situations in Europe or North America....journal article 2012

Li, J. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)In the Netherlands an asphaltic surfacing structure for orthotropic steel bridge decks mostly consists of two structural layers. The upper layer consists of Porous Asphalt (PA) because of reasons related to noise hindrance. For the lower layer a choice between Mastic Asphalt (MA) or Guss Asphalt (GA), can be made. In this paper, a typical Dutch...conference paper 2012

Tu, H. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Li, H. (author), Sun, L. (author)Earlier studies have shown that driving behavior differs strongly in emergency conditions compared with behavior in normal traffic conditions. In this paper, these findings are followed up with an investigation of how these differences in driving behavior affect travel time reliability. In particular, the focus is on the effect of relatively...journal article 2012

Verhagen, A.A. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Van der Marel, H. (author), Li, B. (author)A key issue with GNSS carrier phase ambiguity resolution is that often the full set of ambiguities cannot be fixed fast and reliably. A possible strategy is then to resolve only a subset of ambiguities, one for which the probability of correct fixing, the so-called success rate, is sufficiently close to 1. However, a proper subset selection...conference paper 2011

Li, S. (author)Ultrafiltration (UF) is a proven technology in water treatment nowadays. However, fouling remains a major challenge in the operation of UF, especially in regard to colloidal NOM fouling. In general, a number of colloidal NOM fouling mechanisms may occur, such as adsorption, gel formation. Colloidal NOM fouling is influenced by multivalent...doctoral thesis 2011

Oregui, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Moraal, J. (author)In railway tracks, short wave rail surface defects give rise to high wheel-rail dynamic forces and noise. Having a better insight into short wave defect occurrence could lead to development of adapted maintenance methods or track design to delay or avoid defect, so that the high short wave defect related maintenance costs may be reduced. As part...conference paper 2011
