Sun, H. (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Chemical process systems are becoming more automated and complex, which leads to increased interaction and interdependence between the human and technical elements of process systems. This urges the need for updating the safety assessment method by treating “safety” as an emergent property of a system. Uncertainty comes together with...journal article 2024

Wang, Xiaoda (author), Zhao, Yuqing (author), Han, Lumin (author), Li, Ling (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Cylcohexanol is an essential bulk chemical that can be produced via cyclohexene hydration, a liquid-liquid two-phase reaction that is limited by the low reaction rate and the equilibrium conversion. Adding an appropriate solvent is the most promising method to break through these limitations. However, in previous works the solvent was almost...journal article 2023

Zhang, H. (author), Jin, Zuquan (author), Jiang, Nengdong (author), Ge, Zhi (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Ling, Yifeng (author), Šavija, B. (author), Wang, Zheng (author)The classically lattice model assumes the local elements behave elastic brittle, neglecting the ductility of the mortar matrix. This leads to the simulated load⁃displacement response more brittle than the realistic. To solve the aforementioned issue, a piece⁃wise approach was introduced to describe the elastic⁃plastic constitutive relation of...journal article 2023

Wang, W. (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Wu, J. (author)Additive manufacturing of metal parts involves phase transformations and high temperature gradients which lead to uneven thermal expansion and contraction, and, consequently, distortion of the fabricated components. The distortion has a great influence on the structural performance and dimensional accuracy, e.g., for assembly. It is therefore...journal article 2023

Wang, Sihan (author)Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective and economical in secondary sludge management. Thermal hydrolysis process (THP) is a reliable pre-treatment method to improve the biodegradability of sludge. Partial nitritation and anammox process (PN/A) is a suitable method used to remove nitrogen in reject water which has a low COD/N ratio. However,...master thesis 2022

Wang, X. (author), Li, Z. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Wang, M. (author)Real-time safety systems are crucial components of intelligent vehicles. This paper introduces a prediction-based collision risk assessment approach on highways. Given a point mass vehicle dynamics system, a stochastic forward reachable set considering two-dimensional motion with vehicle state probability distributions is firstly established. We...conference paper 2022

Suvarna, Anusha Ravish (author), Koppelaar, Arie (author), Jansen, Feike (author), Wang, J. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)High angular resolution is in high demand in automotive radar. To achieve a high azimuth resolution a large aperture antenna array is required. Although MIMO technique can be used to form larger virtual apertures, a large number of transmitter-receiver channels are needed, which is still technologically challenging and costly. To circumvent this...conference paper 2022

Sun, H. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Chemical process systems (CPSs) involve complex dynamic processes. Besides, the emergent and uncertain hazards and disruptions cannot be identified entirely and prevented by conventional methods. In those situations, resilience for CPSs plays an essential role in absorbing, adapting to disruptions, and restoring from damages. Systemic modeling...journal article 2022

Sun, H. (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Resilience is an emergent property of a system, which changes with various internal and external factors. Resilience is also a hidden property of a system that cannot be observed. Thus, experiments should be performed for a given system to measure its resilience. However, physical experiments are practically impossible. Inspired by the tensile...journal article 2022

(author)We introduce a Markov Modulated Process (MMP) to describe human mobility. We represent the mobility process as a time-varying graph, where a link specifies a connection between two nodes (humans) at any discrete time step. Each state of the Markov chain encodes a certain modification to the original graph. We show that our MMP model...conference paper 2022
