Moriaux, Olivier (author), Zamponi, R. (author), Schram, Christophe (author)The empirical calibration of remote microphone probes (RMP), used to acquire wall-pressure fluctuations, can introduce spurious resonance into the sensor transfer function due to the difference in the pressure field inside the calibrator geometry over multiple calibration steps. Such spurious resonance subsequently propagates into the...journal article 2024

Zeng, Cheng (author), Huang, Jinsong (author), Wang, H. (author), Xie, Jiawei (author), Zhang, Yuting (author)Reliable estimation of rail useful lifetime can provide valuable information for predictive maintenance in railway systems. However, in most cases, lifetime data is incomplete because not all pieces of rail experience failure by the end of the study horizon, a problem known as censoring. Ignoring or otherwise mistreating the censored cases...journal article 2023

Igea, Felipe (author), Cicirello, A. (author)Multi-modal distributions of some physics-based model parameters are often encountered in engineering due to different situations such as a change in some environmental conditions, and the presence of some types of damage and non-linearity. In statistical model updating, for locally identifiable parameters, it can be anticipated that multi...journal article 2023

Bouwmeester, J. (author), Menicucci, A. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)The objective of this paper is to investigate which approach would lead to more reliable CubeSats: full subsystem redundancy or improved testing. Based on data from surveys, the reliability of satellites and subsystems is estimated using a Kaplan–Meier estimator. Subsequently, a variety of reliability models is defined and their maximum...journal article 2022

van Zwieten, G.J. (author), van Brummelen, E. Harald (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)Earthquakes cause lasting changes in static equilibrium, resulting in global deformation fields that can be observed. Consequently, deformation measurements such as those provided by satellite based InSAR monitoring can be used to infer an earthquake's faulting mechanism. This inverse problem requires a numerical forward model that is both...journal article 2022

Lye, Adolphus (author), Cicirello, A. (author), Patelli, Edoardo (author)Bayesian inference is a popular approach towards parameter identification in engineering problems. Such technique would involve iterative sampling methods which are often robust. However, these sampling methods often require significant computational resources and also the tuning of a large number of parameters. This motivates the development...journal article 2022

Zou, J. (author), Cicirello, A. (author), Iliopoulos, Alexandros (author), Lourens, E. (author)Fatigue assessment in offshore wind turbine support structures requires the monitoring of strains below the mudline, where the highest bending moments occur. However, direct measurement of these strains is generally impractical. This paper presents the validation of a virtual sensing technique based on the Gaussian process latent force model...conference paper 2022

Sarafoglou, Alexandra (author), van der Heijden, Anna (author), Draws, T.A. (author), Cornelisse, Joran (author), Wagenmakers, Eric Jan (author), Marsman, Maarten (author)Current developments in the statistics community suggest that modern statistics education should be structured holistically, that is, by allowing students to work with real data and to answer concrete statistical questions, but also by educating them about alternative frameworks, such as Bayesian inference. In this article, we describe how we...journal article 2022

Menzen, C.M. (author), Kok, M. (author), Batselier, K. (author)Multiway data often naturally occurs in a tensorial format which can be approximately represented by a low-rank tensor decomposition. This is useful because complexity can be significantly reduced and the treatment of large-scale data sets can be facilitated. In this paper, we find a low-rank representation for a given tensor by solving a...journal article 2022

Kanning, W. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author)This paper presents a Bayesian model to determine the model uncertainty of a critical horizontal gradient model for piping for dikes, such a Lane and Bligh. A Bayesian model is needed for two reasons. First, there is a large overlap in cases that failed and survived. Second, the evidence of the failed cases is limited .The model consists of a...conference paper 2019

van der Meer, Anton (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kruse, Henk (author), Schelfhout, Harry (author)The presence of pipelines in flood defenses presents a challenge for assessing the probability of flooding. To prevent costly structural measures compensating for the possible negative effects of pipeline failure, we developed a framework for an integral failure analysis of pipeline and dike failure. The assessment framework is based on an event...conference paper 2019

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Water quality environmental assessment often requires the joint simulation of several subsystems (e.g. wastewater treatment processes, urban drainage and receiving water bodies). The complexity of these integrated catchment models grows fast, leading to potentially over-parameterised and computationally expensive models. The receiving water body...journal article 2019
