Li, C. (author), Li, Hu (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)Multi-pass-dual-indenter (MPDI) scratch tests with various loading conditions were performed on two newly developed titanium alloys (Ti–10V–1Fe–3Al and Ti–10V–2Cr–3Al) to investigate their abrasion resistance under repetitive local sliding contact. A technically pure titanium sample was used as the reference. Various microstructures were...journal article 2019

Mohammadloo, Tannaz H. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Simons, D.G. (author), Dierikx, Ben (author), Bicknese, Simon (author)Methods for gridding multibeam echo sounder (MBES) measurements to equidistant grids are proposed as alternatives to the shallowest measured depth, which is affected by outliers. The approaches considered use a combination of mean and standard deviation of soundings and the regression coefficient from the best fitted plane. These methods...journal article 2019

Hu, W. (author), Hickel, S. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author)The transition mechanism and unsteady behavior behind a backward-facing step (BFS) in the supersonic regime at Ma=1.7 and Reδ0=13718 is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES). The visualization of the flow field shows that the transition process behind the step is initiated by a Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability of the separated...journal article 2019

Daneshjoo, Z. (author), Amaral, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Shokrieh, M. M. (author), Fakoor, M. (author)This paper demonstrates how the critical strain energy density in the delamination tip vicinity may be used to explain the physics of delamination growth under mixed mode I/II. A theory previously proposed to physically relate mode I and mode II delamination growth is further extended towards describing the onset of mixed mode I/II...journal article 2019

Zhu, Zichong (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Dong, J. (author), Peng, Fei (author)This paper presents a new rotor design with assembled permeable retaining sleeve (APRS) to improve performances of a high speed permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). The APRS consists of equal number of permeable and nonmagnetic parts, which are alternately arranged and assembled together circumferentially via keyways. Electromagnetic and...journal article 2019

Wei, C. (author), Hendriks, Koen V. (author), van Riemsdijk, M.B. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Agents in teamwork may be highly interdependent on each other, the awareness of interdependence relationships is an important requirement for designing and consequently implementing a multi-agent system. In this work, we propose a formal graphical and domain-independent language that can facilitate the identification of comprehensive...journal article 2019

Sun, Junzi (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)This article investigates the estimation of aircraft mass and thrust settings of departing aircraft using a recursive Bayesian method called particle filtering. The method is based on a nonlinear state-space system derived from aircraft point-mass performance models. Using only aircraft surveillance data, flight states such as position,...journal article 2019

Wang, Xuerui (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author), De Breuker, R. (author)This paper designs an incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion control law for free-flying flexible aircraft, which can regulate rigid-body motions, alleviate gust loads, reduce the wing root bending moment, and suppress elastic modes. By fully exploring the sensor measurements, the model dependency of the proposed control law can be reduced...journal article 2019

Telang, Pankaj R. (author), Singh, Munindar P. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Commitments capture how an agent relates to another agent, whereas goals describe states of the world that an agent is motivated to bring about. Commitments are elements of the social state of a set of agents whereas goals are elements of the private states of individual agents. It makes intuitive sense that goals and commitments are understood...journal article 2019
