Wang, Y. (author), Makkee, M. (author)Oxygen defects in reduced ceria are the catalytic sites for the NO reduction into N<sub>2</sub> in the Toyota Di-Air DeNO<sub>x</sub> abatement technology. Traces of NO (several hundred ppm) have to compete with the excess amount of other oxidants, e.g., 5% CO<sub>2</sub> and 5% O<sub>2</sub>, in an exhaust gas of a lean burn (diesel) engine....journal article 2018

Amenta, Alex (author)Given a metric measure space X, we consider a scale of function spaces (Formula presented.), called the weighted tent space scale. This is an extension of the tent space scale of Coifman, Meyer, and Stein. Under various geometric assumptions on X we identify some associated interpolation spaces, in particular certain real interpolation spaces...journal article 2018

Ma, Y. (author), Mashal, AA (author), Markine, V.L. (author)To improve the understanding of dynamic impact in 1:9 crossing panel, which is suffering from rapid surface degradation, detailed modelling and experimental studies are performed. A three-dimensional explicit finite element (FE) model of a wheel rolling over a crossing rail, that has an adaptive mesh refinement procedure coupled with two...journal article 2018

Yuan, S. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)In this paper, robust adaptive tracking control schemes for uncertain switched linear systems subject to disturbances are investigated. The robust adaptive control problem requires the design of both adaptive and switching laws. A novel adaptive law is proposed based on an extended leakage approach, which does not require knowledge of the bounds...journal article 2018

Venkatesan, P. (author), Sun, Z.H.I. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Yang, Y. (author)In this manuscript, we demonstrate a room temperature electrochemical process for efficiently recycling NdFeB magnet waste. First, the magnet waste was completely leached with HCl and then, in-situ electrochemical oxidation was performed to selectively oxidize Fe(II) in the leachate to Fe(III). Finally, oxalic acid was added directly to the...journal article 2018

Avdis, A. (author), Candy, A.S. (author), Hill, J. (author), Kramer, SC (author), Piggott, M.D. (author)Renewable energy is the cornerstone of preventing dangerous climate change whilst main- taining a robust energy supply. Tidal energy will arguably play a critical role in the renewable energy portfolio as it is both predictable and reliable, and can be put in place across the globe. However, installation may impact the local and regional ecology...journal article 2018

Vlaar, M.P. (author), Birpoutsoukis, Georgios (author), Lataire, John (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Schoukens, Johan (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author)Joint manipulation elicits a response from the sensors in the periphery which, via the spinal cord, arrives in the cortex. The average evoked cortical response recorded using electroencephalography was shown to be highly nonlinear; a linear model can only explain 10% of the variance of the evoked response, and over 80% of the response is...journal article 2018

Baumann, M.M. (author), Astudillo Rengifo, R.A. (author), Qiu, Y. (author), Ang, Y.M.E. (author), van Gijzen, M.B. (author), Plessix, R.E. (author)In this work, we present a new numerical framework for the efficient solution of the time-harmonic elastic wave equation at multiple frequencies. We show that multiple frequencies (and multiple right-hand sides) can be incorporated when the discretized problem is written as a matrix equation. This matrix equation can be solved efficiently...journal article 2018

Çetinay Iyicil, H. (author), Soltan, Saleh (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author), Zussman, Gil (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)In this paper, we compare the effects of failures in power grids under the nonlinear AC and linearized DC power flow models. First, we numerically demonstrate that when there are no failures and the assumptions underlying the DC model are valid, the DC model approximates the AC model well in four considered test networks. Then, to evaluate...journal article 2018

Kane, Grace (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The framework of design for the circular economy is increasingly used in industry to improve product sustainability and decrease costs, and in academia various models have been developed to guide circular design. However, in the medical sector, although it generates a large amount of waste, application of circular design principles is...journal article 2018

Naeimi, M. (author), Li, S. (author), Li, Z. (author), Wu, J. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)This research presents a coupled thermomechanical modelling procedure for the wheel-rail contact problem and computes the flash-temperature and stress-strain responses when thermal effects are present. A three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element model was built considering the wheel-track interaction. When the wheel is running on rail,...journal article 2018

van der Blij, N.H. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Many modelling methods for the analysis of dc distribution grids only consider monopolar configurations and do not allow for mutual couplings to be taken into account. The modelling method presented in this paper aims to deal with both of these issues. A state-space approach was chosen for its flexibility and computational speed. The derived...journal article 2018

van der Blij, N.H. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Employing bipolar dc distribution systems introduces the possibility of imbalance in the system. To analyze these systems it is crucial to create novel modelling techniques. This paper presents a method to decompose dc distribution systems into symmetrical components. The presented method simplifies the analysis of balanced, unbalanced, and...journal article 2018

Pan, S. (author), Luo, Yanquan (author), Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper describes a high-resolution energy-efficient CMOS temperature sensor, intended for the temperature compensation of MEMS/quartz frequency references. The sensor is based on silicided poly-silicon thermistors, which are embedded in a Wien-bridge RC filter. When driven at a fixed frequency, the filter exhibits a temperature-dependent...journal article 2018

Vasconcelos, Luis A. (author), Neroni, Maria A. (author), Coimbra Cardoso, C.M. (author), Crilly, Nathan (author)Design fixation experiments often report that participants exposed to an example solution generate fewer ideas than those who were not. This reduced ‘idea fluency’ is generally explained as participants’ creativity being constrained by the example they have seen. However, the inclusion of an example also introduces other factors that might...journal article 2018

Usman, M. (author), Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The effect of temperature on fatigue crack growth in epoxy adhesive bonds was investigated for a range of temperatures from -55 to 80[U+202F]°C. The fatigue crack growth behaviour was characterised using both strain energy release rate (SERR) and by measurements of energy dissipation. It was found that for a given maximum SERR, or a given...journal article 2018

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Users often have conflicting concerns (i.e., dilemmas), such as ‘embracing change vs. following tradition.’ Design can resolve these dilemmas through simultaneously fulfilling conflicting user concerns. This paper proposes three abstraction levels for framing user concerns when formulating dilemmas. In a large-scale industry project, we...journal article 2018

(author), Maffezzoli, Alfonso (author)The approach for joining thermosetting matrix composites (TSCs) proposed in this study is based on the use of a low melting co-cured thermoplastic film, added as a last ply in the stacking sequence of the composite laminate. During curing, the thermoplastic film partially penetrates in the first layer of the thermosetting composite, leading...journal article 2018

Liu, J. (author), Isufi, E. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)In graph signal processing, signals are processed by explicitly taking into account their underlying structure, which is generally characterized by a graph. In this field, graph filters play a major role to process such signals in the so-called graph frequency domain. In this paper, we focus on the design of autoregressive moving average ...conference paper 2018
