Zamponi, R. (author), Satcunanathan, S. (author), Moreau, S. (author), Meinke, M. (author), Schröder, W. (author), Schram, C. (author)Integrating a porous material into the structure of an aerofoil constitutes a promising passive strategy for mitigating the noise from turbulence–body interactions that has been extensively explored in the past few decades. When a compact permeable body is considered in the aeroacoustic analogy derived by Curle to predict this noise source, a...journal article 2023

Brandt, R. K. (author), Haustein, S. (author), Hagenzieker, M.P. (author), Møller, M. (author)Cyclists’ phone use can cause distractions and impose risks towards traffic safety. To prevent phone-related distractions, the Netherlands introduced a ban on handheld (HH) phone use for cyclists in July 2019. The effects of traffic rules on phone use and their underlying mechanisms are, however, uncertain. Comparing survey results from the...journal article 2023

Yang, W. (author), He, Renke (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Huysmans, T. (author)Pressure sensitivity research on the head, face, and neck is critical to develop ways to reduce discomfort caused by pressure in head-related products. The aim of this paper is to provide information for designers to be able to reduce the pressure discomfort by studying the relation between pressure sensitivity and soft tissue in the head,...journal article 2023

Design of a distributed optical fiber sensor system for measuring immersed tunnel joint deformationsZhang, X. (author), Broere, W. (author)Monitoring the deformations of immersed tunnels is important during the entire tunnel service life to assess the structural integrity of the tunnel. Conventional joint deformation monitoring is based on manual levelling measurements and normally occurs only at multi-year intervals, which does not allow to capture short term deformation...journal article 2023

van den Engel, P.J.W. (author), Malin, Michael (author), Venkatesh, Nikhilesh Kodur (author), de Araujo Passos, L.A. (author)This research evaluates the performance of a Phase Change Material (PCM) battery integrated into the climate system of a new transparent meeting center. The main research questions are: a. “Can the performance of the battery be calculated?” and b. “Can the battery reduce the heating and cooling energy demand in a significant way?” The first...journal article 2023

Mier Escurra, C. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Vaessen, P.T.M. (author), Lathouwers, A.G.A. (author)One of the main difficulties in measuring partial discharges (PD) in gas-insulated substations (GIS) is the overlapping of pulses at the sensor's location, which distorts the pulse resolution and the charge estimation. This research presents a new method called “synergy,” which identifies and suppresses reflections using magnetic and electric...journal article 2023

(author)At a global scale, intertidal areas are being reclaimed for agriculture as well as urban expansion, imposing high human pressure on the coastal zone. The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD) is an exponent of this development. In this delta, land reclamation accelerated in the 1960's to 1980's, when polders were constructed in areas subject to...journal article 2023

Talsma, Tessa M.W. (author), Hassanain, Omar (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author)Increasing levels of vehicle automation are envisioned to allow drivers to engage in other activities but are also likely to increase the incidence of Carsickness or Motion Sickness (MS). Ideally, MS is studied in a safe and controlled environment, such as a driving simulator. However, only few studies address the suitability of driving...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

Ducasse, Romain (author), Santambrogio, Filippo (author), Yoldas, H. (author)In this paper, we start from a very natural system of cross-diffusion equations, which can be seen as a gradient flow for the Wasserstein distance of a certain functional. Unfortunately, the cross-diffusion system is not well-posed, as a consequence of the fact that the underlying functional is not lower semi-continuous. We then consider the...journal article 2023
