Classens, Koen (author), Heemels, W. P.M.H. (author), Oomen, T.A.E. (author)The performance of fault detection filters relies on a high sensitivity to faults and a low sensitivity to disturbances. The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to directly shape these sensitivities, expressed in terms of minimum and maximum singular values. The developed method offers an alternative solution to the H<sub>-</sub>/H...journal article 2023

Liu, Z. (author), Rotte, T.A. (author), Anjani, S. (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Staggered seats are a solution for the Flying-V aircraft, where the cabin's longitudinal axis has a 26 degrees angle with respect to the direction of flight, to compensate for an otherwise oblique sitting position. However, little is known on acceptable pitches in this staggered configuration. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this research...journal article 2021

Vink, P. (author), Rotte, T.A. (author), Anjani, S. (author), Percuoco, Chiara (author), Vos, Roelof (author)The Flying-V is a V-shaped airplane, which uses less fuel due its form. Passengers are in the oval cabin in the wing, which asks for an alternative design to the interior as the cabin is not in the flying direction. At the same time there is a demand for more comfortable interiors. 80 students were asked to develop interior design ideas for this...journal article 2020

Anjani, S. (author), Li, W. (author), Ruiter, I.A. (author), Vink, P. (author)This study explores the relationship between seat pitch and comfort, and the influencing factors, like space experience and anthropometric measurements. Two hundred ninety-four participants experienced economy class seats in a Boeing 737 with 28-inch, 30-inch, 32-inch and 34-inch seat pitches. Anthropometric measurements of the participants...journal article 2020

(author), de Visser, P.J. (author)Parallel-plate capacitors (PPC) significantly reduce the size of superconducting microwave resonators, reducing the pixel pitch for arrays of single-photon energy-resolving kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). The frequency noise of KIDs is typically limited by tunneling two-level systems (TLS), which originate from lattice defects in the...journal article 2024

Hanssen, J.L.J. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), van Maren, D.S. (author)For the management of estuaries and the preservation of tidal flats it is crucial to understand the tidal flat shape and development. Previous work focused predominantly on the quasi-equilibrium shape of tidal flats along open coasts with a dominant cross-shore flow and wave exposure. This paper evaluates the shape of fringing tidal flats in...journal article 2024
