Mak, Robin (author), Amoozandeh, A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Differential mechanisms are remarkable mechanical elements that are widely utilized in various systems; nevertheless, conventional differential mechanisms are heavy and difficult to use in applications with limited design space. This paper presents a curved differential mechanism that utilizes a lightweight, compliant structure. This...journal article 2024

Li, Qiongxiu (author), Gundersen, Jaron Skovsted (author), Lopuhaa-Zwakenberg, Milan (author), Heusdens, R. (author)Privacy-preserving distributed average consensus has received significant attention recently due to its wide applicability. Based on the achieved performances, existing approaches can be broadly classified into perfect accuracy-prioritized approaches such as secure multiparty computation (SMPC), and worst-case privacy-prioritized approaches...journal article 2024

Dubey, S.K. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The potential lack of realism in stated-preference surveys is particularly acute in contexts where disaggregate real-world data is challenging to obtain. Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) services present one such context. The MOD context is unique due to factors such as service reliability (difference in stated vs. actual travel and waiting time) and...journal article 2024

Négyesi, B. (author), Andersson, Kristoffer (author), Oosterlee, Cornelis W. (author)A novel discretization is presented for decoupled forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDE) with differentiable coefficients, simultaneously solving the BSDE and its Malliavin sensitivity problem. The control process is estimated by the corresponding linear BSDE driving the trajectories of the Malliavin derivatives of the...journal article 2024

Yarali, E. (author), Klimopoulou, M. (author), David, M.K. (author), Boukany, P. (author), Staufer, U. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Accardo, A. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author)The Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus are two parameters determining the elastic behavior of biomaterials. While the effects of elastic modulus on the cell response is widely studied, very little is known regarding the effects of the Poisson's ratio. The micro-architecture of meta-biomaterials determines not only the Poisson's ratio but...journal article 2024

Successive approximations and interval halving for fractional BVPs with integral boundary conditionsMarynets, K. (author), Pantova, D.H. (author)We study a system of non-linear fractional differential equations, subject to integral boundary conditions. We use a parametrization technique and a dichotomy-type approach to reduce the original problem to two “model-type” fractional boundary value problems with linear two-point boundary conditions. A numerical-analytic technique is applied...journal article 2024

Li, T. (author), Xu, L. (author), Erkin, Z. (author), Lagendijk, R.L. (author)With the fast development of e-commerce, there is a higher demand for timely delivery. Logistic companies want to send receivers a more accurate arrival prediction to improve customer satisfaction and lower customer retention costs. One approach is to share (near) real-time location data with recipients, but this also introduces privacy and...conference paper 2024

Agresti, A. (author), Veraar, M.C. (author)In this paper we introduce the critical variational setting for parabolic stochastic evolution equations of quasi- or semi-linear type. Our results improve many of the abstract results in the classical variational setting. In particular, we are able to replace the usual weak or local monotonicity condition by a more flexible local Lipschitz...journal article 2024

Analysis of the Boundary Layer on a Highly Flexible Wing Based on Infrared Thermography MeasurementsMertens, C. (author), Grille Guerra, A. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Fehrs, Michael (author), Ritter, Markus R. (author)The effects of the wing skin distortion on the boundary layer of a highly flexible wing are analyzed in a wind tunnel experiment using infrared thermography measurements. Considerable differences in the boundary layer flow are observed when comparing the sections of the wing near the ribs, where the design shape of the wing is preserved, and...book chapter 2024

Zhang, P. (author), Li, Z. (author)This paper aims at identifying the formation mechanism of short pitch rail corrugation using an improved configuration of a 1/5 scaled V-Track test rig. The loading conditions of the V-Track are designed to simulate the wheel-rail dynamic interactions on the tangent track. Corrugation initiation and consistent growth are successfully produced...journal article 2024

Binatari, N. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Verstraten, P. (author), Adi-Kusumo, F. (author), Aryati, L. (author)In this paper, we present a new approach on how the multiple time-scales perturbation method can be applied to differential-delay equations such that approximations of the solutions can be obtained which are accurate on long time-scales. It will be shown how approximations can be constructed which branch off from solutions of differential...journal article 2024

Blom, H.A.P. (author)The transition kernel of an ℝ <sup>n</sup>-valued diffusion or jump diffusion process {X <sub>t</sub>} is known to satisfy the Feller property if {X <sub>t</sub>} is the solution of an SDE whose coefficients are Lipschitz continuous. This Lipschitz route to Feller falls short if {X <sub>t</sub>} is the solution of an SDE whose coefficients...journal article 2024

Takali, Farid (author), Nirwal, Sonal (author), Othmani, Cherif (author), Groves, R.M. (author)It has been shown that the roots of guided waves in laminate plates produced by the ordinary differential equations (ODE) approach may not hold under to some computational conditions. A particular drawback of the 2D formulation of the ODE approach is the lack of reliability in the case of unidirectional laminates due to the decoupling...journal article 2023

Thorpe, Matthew (author), van Gennip, Y. (author)Neural networks have been very successful in many applications; we often, however, lack a theoretical understanding of what the neural networks are actually learning. This problem emerges when trying to generalise to new data sets. The contribution of this paper is to show that, for the residual neural network model, the deep layer limit...journal article 2023

Jia, W. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Goncalves Carvalho, M.D. (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Differential railway track settlement can result in ballast voids, leading to sleepers that hang from the rail and are no longer supported by the ballast. These hanging sleepers are damage for track component. As a solution, this paper proposes and investigates a new concept sleeper with a wedge-shaped geometry, intended to stimulate the...journal article 2023

We provide local well-posedness, regularity, blow-up criteria and positivity of solutions. The key novelties of this work are related to the use transport noise, critical spaces and the proof of higher order regularity of solutions – even in case of non-smooth...journal article 2023

Gemser, Gerda (author), Calabretta, G. (author), Quint, Eric (author)Little is known about how design leaders foster design excellence “at scale” within large organizations. To bridge this gap, this article reports on interviews with 59 senior design leaders. Using a paradox perspective to frame the findings uncovers major challenges when leading design teams inside large organizations. It also identifies five...journal article 2023
