Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)Building costs play a significant role in determining the affordability of a housing project, and these depend to a large extent on design choices. This paper is based on the premise that collaborative design processes, or co-design, used in collaborative housing (CH) in Europe reduce building costs and consequently increase the affordability of...journal article 2023

Hadjisotiriou, George (author), Mansour Pour, K. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)In this study, we utilize deep neural networks to approximate operators of a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE), within the Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) simulation framework, and discover the physical space for a physics-based proxy model with reduced degrees of freedom. In our methodology, observations from a high-fidelity...conference paper 2023

Shiomi, Y. (author), Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author)Traffic dynamics on freeways are stochastic in nature because of errors in perception and operation of drivers as well as the heterogeneity between and within drivers. This stochasticity is often represented in car-following models by a stochastic term, which is assumed to follow a normal distribution for the convenience of mathematical...journal article 2023

Nikaein, T. (author), Lopez Dekker, F.J. (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author), Kumar, V. (author), Huber, M. (author)In this article, our aim is to estimate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observables, such as backscatter in VV and VH polarizations, as well as the VH/VV ratio, cross ratio, and interferometric coherence in VV, from agricultural fields. In this study, we use the decision support system for agrotechnology transfer (DSSAT) crop-growth simulation...journal article 2023

Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Cherian, Jim (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author), Chau, Lap Pui (author)Even though virtual testing of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) has been well recognized as essential for safety assessment, AV simulators are still undergoing active development. One particular challenge is the problem of including the Sensing and Perception (S&P) subsystem into the virtual simulation loop in an efficient and effective manner....journal article 2023

Gu, Siwen (author), Wang, Jiaan (author), You, X. (author), Zhuang, Yu (author)Improving mass transfer in gas diffusion layers is critical to achieving high-performance proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Leaks through the interface between the gas and the membrane electrode assembly frame have been widely investigated, and the controllability of the cathode gas diffusion has not been achieved in most studies....journal article 2023

(author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author)It has been previously demonstrated that applying an aberrating mask for 2D compressive imaging using a low number of sensors (elements) can significantly improve image resolution, as evaluated via the point spread function. Here we investigate the potential to apply a similar approach for 3D flow monitoring. We conducted a 3D k-Wave simulation...conference paper 2023

Tang, Tie Qiao (author), Nicolas, Alexandre (author), Lee, Seungjae (author), Daamen, W. (author), Song, Ziqi (author)In the study of pedestrian dynamics, the consideration of group behaviours is essential, as group interaction within crowds is a common phenomenon and significantly influences pedestrian behaviours. This special issue highlights the importance of pedestrian group behaviours and examines the subject using a wide range of methods, such as...contribution to periodical 2023

Haasnoot, Jelle (author), Happee, R. (author), van der Wijk, V. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)Bicycle simulators have been the subject of considerable research, however, few of these attempts have integrated direct balance control and realistic freedom of motion to deliver a real-world dynamic cycling experience. This study presents the BIKE (Bicycle Intrinsic Kinematics Emulator) system, a kinematic bicycle simulator, developed with...journal article 2023

Langens, Coco (author)Manipulating soft and fragile objects is a challenging task in robotic grasping. The key challenge for robotic grasping is to exert enough grip force to prevent slipping while being gentle enough to prevent damage to an object. Existing grippers used for processes like automatic harvesting of fruits, either apply excessive grip force leading to...master thesis 2022

te Braake, Michiel (author)Recent developments have enabled the mass production of cheap, high-performance multirotors. As a result of this, the multirotor has found a large variety of different uses. Testing new algorithms using real-life flights is costly in terms of time and potentially in terms of materials in the case of a crash. Simulators have quickly gained...master thesis 2022

Aliberti, Dylan (author)The aim of this thesis was to test the efficiency in practice of an analytical propagator with collision detection for <i>N</i>-body Keplerian systems. This can be used to simulate the evolution of a protoplanetary disk, which gives insight into how planetary systems form. The analytic propagator calculates collisions one by one, while a...bachelor thesis 2022

Betere Marcos, Guille (author)The Paris agreement has set European countries on a path towards decarbonization of the energy market. Due to the high dependence of natural gas in the Netherlands, various challenges will be faced when facing out fossil fuels. The major drawback of RES is that they are non-dispatchable, meaning their output generation fluctuates over time with...master thesis 2022

Smeets, Lucy (author)Sorting systems form an example of event driven systems. These types of systems are referred to as discrete event systems (DES), and they consist of jobs that need to be performed at available resources. In an autonomous sorting system, jobs consist of robots receiving and delivering parcels at the correct locations. With scheduling, optimal...master thesis 2022

Hermans, Sebastiaan (author)In this thesis, a proof of concept was established for the use of a novel coupled QM-MD approach to modelling metallic (copper) electrode-electrolyte interfaces. SCC-DFTB calculations of the instantaneous electronic structure of a copper electrode were coupled to a classical MD simulation of an electrode-electrolyte interface. The applied QM-MD...master thesis 2022

Kersbergen, Mees (author)“From chaos, order can emerge”, a counterintuitive statement but also one laying the foundation for complex living systems. Individually acting agents can collectively produce organised structures at a larger scale. Possibly the most ubiquitous example of this phenomenon are bacterial colonies.<br/>Everywhere around us, a pandemonium of pushing...master thesis 2022
