Borobia-Moreno, R. (author), Ramiro-Rebollo, D. (author), Sanchez Arriaga, Gonzalo (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Simulation, state estimation, and aerodynamic parameter identification from in-flight data are actual research topics in AWE [1,2]. This work summarizes the status of four infrastructures developed at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid that are related with them: (i) a portable experimental rig for the acquisition of flight data like kite position...abstract 2019

Thedens, P. (author), Bungart, Merlin (author), Schmehl, R. (author)We present a computationally efficient steady-state solution method to model the aeroelastic deformation of a ram-air kite for airborne wind energy applications. The kite’s weight in comparison to the aerodynamic forces is small which justifies a quasi-steady analysis, neglecting gravitational and inertial force effects [1]. The approach is...abstract 2019

Candade, A.A. (author), Ranneberg, M. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)The earlier in the design process the trade-offs between a system’s cost and its performance can be determined, the easier it is to narrowin on an optimal final design. In order to explore the initial design space for composite carbon kites, it is imperative to assess the load couplings effects and its impact on the aerodynamics of the wing, and...abstract 2019

Bormann, Alexander (author), Vollmer, Claus (author), Skutnik, Stefan (author), Gebhardt, Christian (author), Candade, A.A. (author)The EnerKíte team has been successful in automation of kite systems for more than a decade. Our first autonomous kite flights with figure of eight patterns took place in May 2008. Since then the technology of the ground-station, the wing and tether and the landing and launching systemhas been systematically developed, implemented and improved ś...abstract 2019

Cupillard, Paul (author), Mulder, W.A. (author), Irakarama, Modeste (author), Mazuyer, Antoine (author), Anquez, Pierre (author)Within the last decade, non-periodic homogenization proved to be an accurate upscaling method for computing smooth equivalent media of elastic models of the earth interior. Doing so, it reveals the seismic anisotropy induced by small-scale structures and it eases the numerical simulation of wave propagation in complex geological settings by...abstract 2019

Sun, Wenwen (author)In Beijing’s old city, the emergence of conflictual practices in the street life have challenged the conventional concepts of ‘public’ and ‘private’, as well as the design principles based on this normative expression. This paper proposes a novel way of reading and understanding the street spaces by exploring a traditional type of street in...abstract 2019

Wardhana, Gandhika K (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Vollebregt, Sten (author)Neural interface in the form of microelectrodes are used to monitor and treat spinal cord injury and other neurological disorders by the means of recording and stimulation. Despite of the apparent result of these electrical interventions, understanding of the mechanism behind neural stimulation is still inadequate. The use of optical monitoring...abstract 2019

Bakhshaee Babaroud, N. (author), Kluba, M.M. (author), Dekker, R. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)Active implantable medical devices have been developed for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of large variety of neural disorders. Since the mechanical properties of these devices need to be matched to the tissue, soft materials, such as polymers are often preferred as a substrate [1]. Parylene is a good candidate, as it is highly...abstract 2019

Malissovas, Anastasios (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)As the era of Bioelectronic medicines (BEms) evolves, new technological challenges are generated, including miniaturized devices that are encapsulated with flexible materials and energized by wireless power transmission (WPT) techniques. Among them, magnetostatic, also known as inductive, and ultrasound (US) are the most viable candidates for...abstract 2019

Martins Da Ponte, R. (author), Huang, C. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)Optogenetics is a neuromodulation method that holds great potential for the realization of advanced neuroprostheses due to its precise spatial-temporal control of neuronal activity [1]. The development of novel optogenetic implants (optrodes) may open new doors to investigate complex brain circuitry and chronical brain disorders, such as...abstract 2019

Martins Da Ponte, R. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)Incubators in cell cultures are used to grow and maintain cells under optimal temperature alongside other key variables, such as pH, humidity, atmospheric conditions etc. As enzymatic activity and protein synthesis proceed optimally at 37.5 oC, a temperature rise can cause protein denaturation, whereas a drop in temperature can slow down...abstract 2019

Nanbakhsh, K. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)The main goal of bioelectronic medicine is to, one day, replace conventional chemical drugs with miniaturized implants. This way, tiny electrical pulses will be locally delivered to a small group of neurons in order to influence and modify biological functions. Developing such implants, however, has brought many new challenges both in the...abstract 2019

Schelbergen, M. (author), Breuer, J.C.M. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) systems use tethered flying devices to access higher altitudes, typically up to 500 meter, where wind is generally stronger and more persistent. To estimate the Annual Energy Production (AEP) of AWE systems, the wind speed statistics close to the ground are typically extrapolated to higher altitudes, introducing...abstract 2019
