Li, Sihui (author), Peng, Jinqing (author), Wang, Meng (author), Wang, Kai (author), Li, Houpei (author), Lu, C.J. (author)The energy matching of PV driven air conditioners is influenced by building load demand and PV generation. Merely increasing energy performance of building or PV capacity separately may improve the energy balance on a large time resolution, the real-time energy mismatching problem is still serious. In this study, a coordinated optimization...journal article 2024

Krugla, M. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Hanlon, Dave N. (author)The production reality of sheet steels from casting to the end product is such that in the cases of ultra- and advanced high-strength steels, we have to deal with the segregation of elements on macro- and microlevels. Both can have a significant impact on the microstructure formation and resulting properties. There are several production stages...journal article 2024

Amladi, Amogh (author), Venkataraman, V. (author), Woudstra, T. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author)Energy storage is vital for the energy transition, enabling reliable power grids based on intermittent renewables. Reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) technology is promising for seasonal energy storage. The novel finding from this work is that optimised air recirculation for rSOC in endothermic electrolyser mode leads to efficiency being...journal article 2024

Ji, C. (author), Hu, Jiqiang (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Yang, Jinchuan (author), Zhou, Zhengong (author), Sun, Yuguo (author), Wang, Bing (author)This paper aims to illustrate the effect of the impact damage on fatigue behavior of CF/PEEK-titanium hybrid laminates. To achieve this end, a fatigue life model was proposed to predict the S–N curves of the laminates at various initial impact energy levels and stress ratios based on the energy dissipation approach. The energy dissipation...journal article 2024

Klein, R.B. (author), Sanderse, B. (author)A novel hyper-reduction method is proposed that conserves kinetic energy and momentum for reduced order models of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The main advantage of conservation of kinetic energy is that it endows the hyper-reduced order model (hROM) with a nonlinear stability property. The new method poses the discrete...journal article 2024
