Lyu, Tianshuai (author), Dorenbos, P. (author), Wei, Zhanhua (author)Developing X-ray charged dosimeters with excellent charge carrier storage capacity and stability is challenging. Such energy storage dosimeters have fascinating use in developing novel applications, for instance, in radiation detection, advanced multimode anti-counterfeiting, and flexible X-ray imaging of curved objects. Herein, novel LiTaO...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

Gusain, D. (author)The transition to sustainable energy iswell underway and is introducing changes on both sides of the electricity balance scale – generation and demand. On the generation side, emissions-free renewable generation resources such as wind and solar are replacing the pollution-emitting thermal power plants. On the demand side, energy sectors...doctoral thesis 2022

Evans, Michael (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Angeli, David (author)This paper proposes a framework for the procurement of flexibility reserve from aggregated storage fleets. It allows for arbitrary tree structures of aggregation hierarchy, as well as easily implementable disaggregation via broadcast dispatch. By coupling discharge and recovery modes, the proposed framework enables full-cycle capacity to be...journal article 2022

Piao, L. (author)Direct current distribution systems (DCDS) are a promising alternative to alternating current (AC) systems because they remove AC--DC conversion between sources and loads that cause energy losses. Compared to AC systems, a DCDS has higher power capacity, energy efficiency and reliability, and no need for synchronisation---suitable where a large...doctoral thesis 2022

Chakraborty, S.T. (author)With increasing renewable energy and cross-sectoral electrification price volatility is increasing. Flexibility through demand-side management and electric storage has the potential for reducing price volatility. In this thesis, using duality theory the flexibility required for constraining price to a maximum limit is quantified. <br/...doctoral thesis 2022

Kluba, M.M. (author)The progress in the field of neurostimulation is impressive, both from a technical as well as from a therapeutic point of view. Nowadays, the electrical stimulation of the nervous system can be used to induce or suppress muscle responses. Additionally, it can also influence hearing, vision, immune system response, pain perception, and even...doctoral thesis 2022

Meijaard, J.P. (author), van der Wijk, V. (author)The dynamic balancing of flexible mechanisms, that is, the reduction or elimination of shaking forces and shaking moments on the support structure, is considered. Two approaches are pursued: one uses similarity and the other modal balancing. A single rotating link can be balanced by a properly scaled countermass, for which balancing criteria...journal article 2022

Khakdaman, M. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Factors driving the choice of shipper firms for services of logistics service providers have long been recognized in the freight transportation literature. However, the willingness among shippers to choose flexible transportation services, where the service package can be adapted during planning and execution, has received less attention. In...journal article 2022

Duker, Annelieke E.C. (author), Karimba, Benson Mutuma (author), Wani, Grace E. (author), Prasad, Pooja (author), van der Zaag, P. (author), De Fraiture, Charlotte (author)In the semi-arid lands of southern Kenya, a dynamic process of farmer-led irrigation has developed over the past two decades. It is characterised by short-term agreements to access land and water. Resident and migrant farmers, capital providers and local landowners have engaged in diverse partnerships to benefit from water and land along the...journal article 2022

Zhang, M. (author), Schreier, S. (author)Thin continuous flexible floating structures have been shown to have technical and economic advantages for Offshore Floating Photovoltaic (OFPV) installations. In terms of large horizontal dimensions compared to the wave length, these structures are similar to sea ice as well as Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS), e.g. as proposed for...review 2022

Fang, P. (author), Xu, Yuxin (author), Gao, Yifan (author), Ali, Liaqat (author), Bai, Yong (author)Composite structures, such as the fiberglass reinforced structure studied in this paper, have been normally treated in previous research as homogeneous anisotropic laminated plates regarding the investigation of their mechanical properties. Throughout this paper, this specific structure is considered in a different way in which the fiberglass...journal article 2022

Henriksen, T.N. (author), Lo, Stephen (author), Knaack, U. (author), Kirkegaard, Poul H. (author)The main bottleneck during the manufacture of complex geometry thin-walled GFRC structures is the time taken to make the timber or CNC machined moulds for each panel. Complex geometries are comprised of many unique panel forms and the extensive time and high costs of their manufacture often prevents their architectural intent from being fully...journal article 2022

French, P.J. (author), Krijnen, Gijs JM (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Mastrangeli, Massimo (author)Silicon sensors date back to before 1960 with early Hall and piezoresistive devices. These used simple processing that was part of the early integrated circuit (IC) industry. As the IC industry developed, silicon sensors could benefit from the technological advances. As silicon sensors advanced, there came the need for new technologies...journal article 2022

Pustina, P. (author), Della Santina, C. (author), De Luca, Alessandro (author)The intrinsically underactuated and nonlinear nature of continuum soft robots makes the derivation of provably stable feedback control laws a challenging task. Most of the works so far circumvented the issue either by looking at coarse fully-actuated approximations of the dynamics or by imposing quasi-static assumptions. In this letter, we...journal article 2022
