Seismic performance of corroded reinforced concrete column-slab connections by Sutantyo, Samuel Kurniawan

“…Flat plate RC system has been used predominantly around the world due to the ease and speed of making the formwork. Aside from that, beams and drop panel are also omitted, which permits the higher floor to floor height. …”

Instrumental Effects in 21 cm Cosmology: One-point Statistics and Power Spectrum with the HERA Interferometer by Kim, Honggeun

“…I have simulated these calibration errors by modeling realistic perturbed primary beams for HERA Phase II observations. The chromatic calibration errors are critical since they can cause foreground emission to contaminate the region of Fourier space expected to be dominated by cosmological signals. …”

Non-contact actuated snap-through buckling of a pre-buckled bistable hard-magnetic elastica by Zhang, Yingchao, Ma, Yinji, Yu, Jing, Gao, Huajian

“…We identify an optimal position for the single M−interface and direction for the uniform actuation field for pre-buckled beams with two-ends fixed, which can reduce the required actuation field for snapping to nearly half in comparison with the symmetric cases. …”

Multi-sensor calibration and multi-modal perception for intelligent systems by Zhang, Jun

“…The main novelty is we propose to use the easy-to-obtain objects in the traffic for calibration (cars, trucks, buses, etc.). The essence is we observe that the 3D bounding box centers of the vehicles are viewpoint invariant. …”

A type of novel energy harvesting device by Deng, J

“…</p> <p>This has led to the development of a new mechanical system which consists of a central shim with four identical beams bonded by two blocks and magnetic buttons. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…The model was applied in finite element analysis (FEA) of various dynamic tests with FRP-concrete interface bond, e.g. single-lap shear tests, three-point bending tests, FRP strengthened RC beams subjected to dynamic loading and an FRP strengthened RC wall under blast load. …”

Towards robust sensing and recognition : from statistical learning to transfer learning by Yang, Jianfei

“…Secondly, current domain adaptation methods require careful manual hyper-parameter tuning, which is not realistic for unmanned systems such as smart cars. To stabilize the training of adversarial domain adaptation, Max-margin Domain-Adversarial Training (MDAT) is developed in this thesis to realize stable convergence without cumbersome manuals. …”
