Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author), Lori, Guido (author), Callewaert, Dieter (author), Overend, M. (author)Occupant satisfaction and acceptance with automated control strategies for dynamic façades is currently a barrier to the upscale of these systems. Building owners, designers and occupants are often unconvinced that an automated control strategy for dynamic façades could really be beneficial for building energy efficiency and occupant...journal article 2023

van der Eijk, M. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author)The numerical prediction of two-phase flows with an interface is challenging, to a considerable extent because of the high density ratio at the interface. Numerical results become affected by momentum losses, diverging spurious interface velocities, free surface distortion, and even numerical instability. To prevent issues like these,...journal article 2023

Koshakji, Anwar (author), Chomette, Grégoire (author), Turner, Jeffrey (author), Jablonski, Jonathan (author), Haynes, Aisha (author), Carlucci, Donald (author), Giovanardi, Bianca (author), Radovitzky, Raúl A. (author)The dynamic response of flexible filaments immersed in viscous fluids is important in cell mechanics, as well as other biological and industrial processes. In this paper, we propose a parallel computational framework to simulate the fluid-structure interactions in large assemblies of highly-flexible filaments immersed in a viscous fluid. We...journal article 2023

Kortram, J. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author), Pluymakers, Anne (author)Geothermal energy production often involves use of corrosion inhibitors. We performed rock mechanical experiments (room temperature; confining pressure of 10/20/30 MPa) on typical reservoir rocks (Bentheim sandstone and Treuchtlinger limestone) in contact with two different inhibitor solutions or with demineralized water. The sandstone...journal article 2023

(author)We propose to use the State Estimation by Sum-of-Norms Regularisation (STATESON-)algorithm for recovering the tip-sample interaction in high-speed tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). This approach enables accurate sample height estimation for each independent cantilever oscillation period, provided that the tip-sample interaction...journal article 2023

Siebinga, O. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)A major challenge for autonomous vehicles is handling interactions with human-driven vehicles—for example, in highway merging. A better understanding and computational modelling of human interactive behaviour could help address this challenge. However, existing modelling approaches predominantly neglect communication between drivers and assume...journal article 2023

Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Rouwette, E. (author)Cities are increasingly recognized as potential motors of sustainability transitions. These transitions build on existing as well as new infrastructures, and these infrastructures mutually influence each other in many ways, a phenomenon known as infrastructure interdependencies. These infrastructure interdependencies have significant...journal article 2023

Reuchlin, S.P.A. (author), Joshi, R. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)The majority of remote locations not connected to the main electricity grid rely on diesel generators to provide electrical power. High fuel transportation costs and significant carbon emissions have motivated the development and installation of hybrid power systems using renewable energy such these locations. Because wind and solar energy is...journal article 2023

Kim, S. (author), Happee, R. (author), van Egmond, R. (author)The design of take-over requests in automated vehicles traditionally focuses on safety and reaction time. We are interested in how take-over requests can be designed from a broader user experience perspective while ensuring safety. This paper proposes designs for ambient sound (i.e., soundscape) and driving noise to inform the driver of...journal article 2023

Shuang, F.S. (author), Ji, Rigelesaiyin (author), Xiong, Liming (author), Gao, Wei (author)Periodic boundary condition along a dislocation line is commonly used in computing activation barriers or formation energies of kink pair of screw dislocation in BCC metals. Although the effect of periodic image interactions on the computation results is obvious, there had been no comprehensive analysis on such effect. In this work, we...journal article 2023

Poland, J.A.W. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Airborne wind energy systems using flexible membrane wings have the advantages of a low weight, small packing volume, high mobility and rapid deployability. This paper investigates the aero-structural deformation of a leading edge inflatable kite for airborne wind energy harvesting. In the first step, a triangular two-plate representation of the...journal article 2023

Gao, Yixuan (author), Song, Duanshu (author), Liu, Li (author), Huang, Y. (author)Affordances serve as design cues, facilitating users in effortlessly identifying the intended use of objects. However, due to the phenomenological nature of the affordance concept, its application and understanding in the human-computer interaction (HCI) domain remain uncertain, resulting in limited utilization in design practice. This study...journal article 2023

Hagen, W.R. (author), Louro, Ricardo O. (author)Distances between Fe ions in multiheme cytochromes are sufficiently short to make the intramolecular dipole-dipole interaction between hemes probable. In the analysis of EPR data from cytochromes, this interaction has thus far been ignored under the assumption that spectra are the simple sum of non-interacting components. Here, we use a...journal article 2023

(author)This study presents a new method to infer the average two-dimensional (2D) spacing between interacting vehicles in urban traffic from trajectory data. In this context, 2D spacing reflects the amount of road space consumed by pairs of interacting vehicles, and is related to 2D density at the macroscopic level.

Maessen, Rosa E.S. (author), Prendergast, J.M. (author), Peternel, L. (author)Skill propagation among robots without human involvement can be crucial in quickly spreading new physical skills to many robots. In this respect, it is a good alternative to pure reinforcement learning, which can be time-consuming, or learning from human demonstration, which requires human involvement. In the latter case, there may not be...journal article 2023
