Zamponi, R. (author), Satcunanathan, S. (author), Moreau, S. (author), Meinke, M. (author), Schröder, W. (author), Schram, C. (author)Integrating a porous material into the structure of an aerofoil constitutes a promising passive strategy for mitigating the noise from turbulence–body interactions that has been extensively explored in the past few decades. When a compact permeable body is considered in the aeroacoustic analogy derived by Curle to predict this noise source, a...journal article 2023

Ni, Ying (author), Li, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Sun, Jian (author)In recent years, the interest in riding in cities using the two-wheeler (e.g., bicycles, electric bicycles, electric mopeds, etc.) increases. Mixed-traffic road segments are one of the most common traffic scenes where the mixed two-wheeler flows exist. Because the movements are often not restricted by lanes, the two-wheeler uses lateral road...journal article 2023

Zhang, P. (author), Li, S. (author), Li, Z. (author)Short pitch corrugation is a quasi-periodic rail defect that induces a high level of noise and accelerates track degradation. This paper proposes a methodology to mitigate short pitch corrugation by rail constraint design, including four steps. In Step 1, corrugation is numerically reproduced by employing a three-dimensional (3D) finite...journal article 2023

Zhao, J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Wang, M. (author)Microscopic traffic flow models enable predictions of traffic operations, which allows traffic engineers to assess the efficiency and safety effects of roadway designs. Modeling vehicle trajectories inside intersections is challenging because there is an infinite number of possible paths in a two-dimensional space, and drivers can...journal article 2023

Tsetas, A. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)This paper presents a computationally efficient model for vibratory pile installation. A semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) model for thin cylindrical shells is derived to represent the pile. The linear dynamic response of the soil medium is described by means of Green's functions via the Thin-Layer Method (TLM) coupled with Perfectly...journal article 2023

Moilanen, Joonas (author), van Berkel, Niels (author), Visuri, Aku (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), van der Maden, W.L.A. (author), Hosio, Simo (author)Good mental health is imperative for one’s wellbeing. While clinical mental disorder treatments exist, self-care is an essential aspect of mental health. This paper explores the use and perceived trust of conversational agents, chatbots, in the context of crowdsourced self-care through a between-subjects study (N = 80). One group used a...journal article 2023

Zhang, Feiran (author), Broz, F. (author), Ferrari, Oriana (author), Barakova, Emilia (author)There is a growing interest in implementing robotics applications for children in healthcare to provide companionship, comfort, education, and therapy. Parental expectations regarding robotics for young children play a critical role in influencing its development and acceptance. However, parental expectations are widely overlooked in HRI....conference paper 2023

Mohammadi Gheidari, A. (author), Kieft, E. R. (author), Guo, X. (author), Wisse, M. (author), Kruit, P. (author)In the Multi beam source (MBS) of our Multi Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (MBSEM), an aperture lens array (ALA) splits the emission cone of the Schottky field emitter into multiple beamlets. When the apertures in the ALA are close to each other, the ALA can introduce aberrations to these beamlets through the electrostatic interaction of...journal article 2023

Torkamaan, H. (author)Mood, often studied using smartphones, influences human perception, judgment, thought, and behavior. Mood measurements on smartphones face challenges concerning the selection of a proper mood measure and its transfer, or translation, into a digital application (app) that is user-engaging. Addressing these challenges, researchers sometimes end up...journal article 2023

Hammer, T.C. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author)The effect of misalignment between wind- and ice loading direction on the development of ice-induced vibrations of offshore wind turbines has been investigated experimentally. In the experiments a hybrid test setup was used to study the structural response to combined loading from physical model ice and numerically applied wind. The...journal article 2023

Sheoratan, Sathyam (author), Henze, Ineke (author), de Vries, M.J. (author), Barendsen, Erik (author)Design activities are gaining interest as rich contexts for learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. STEM teachers may find this challenging however, as designing requires support that they are not used to providing. In a subject like chemistry, teachers would have to balance creativity and responsibility for...journal article 2023

van Essen, S.M. (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)Green water and slamming wave impacts can lead to severe damage or operability issues for marine structures. It is therefore essential to consider their probability and loads in design. This is difficult, as impacts are both hydrodynamically complex and relatively rare. The complexity requires high-fidelity modeling (experiments or CFD),...journal article 2023

Song, Yang (author), Wang, H. (author), Frøseth, Gunnstein (author), Nåvik, Petter (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Rønnquist, Anders (author)The interaction performance of the pantograph-catenary is of great importance as it directly determines the current collection quality and operational safety of trains. The finite element method (FEM) is dominantly used for simulating pantograph-catenary interaction, which is normally computationally heavy. In this work, addressing the...journal article 2023
