Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Gagic, Mladen (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)A degaussing system can be used to reduce the detectability of the magnetic signature of a ship. Commonly, a degaussing system consists of a set of onboard copper coils that produce a magnetic field to compensate for the magnetic signature. High-temperature superconductive degaussing coils are considered an alternative to copper degaussing...journal article 2024

Anton, S.V. (author), Rapisarda, C. (author), Ross, O.J. (author), Mooij, E. (author)Parachute/flow interaction is dominant in evaluating a decelerator’s performance. Such interaction is characterized by nonlinear deformations and complex flow phenomena. While testing methods are available to investigate parachute performance, these are often costly and nonrepresentative of the desired flight conditions. To address the need for...journal article 2023

(author), Jia, Jianjun (author)Hurricane Ike, which struck the United States in September 2008, was the ninth most expensive hurricane in terms of damages. It caused nearly USD 30 billion in damage after making landfall on the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas. We used the Delft3d-FM/SWAN hydrodynamic and spectral wave model to simulate the storm surge inundation around Galveston...journal article 2023

Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)Ships can avoid to be detected by magnetic mines by reducing their magnetic signature with degaussing coils. Degaussing currents are provided by switched mode power supplies which impose a current ripple on top of the degaussing current. The ripple might be visible in the magnetic signature which would increase the detectability of the ship. A...journal article 2022

High temperature superconductors (HTS) are currently investigated as a replacement for copper degaussing coils. By using HTS, we have to deal with higher currents and therefore...journal article 2022

(author), Ross, Robert (author), Gargari, Shima Mousavi (author)The time-to-failure for oil-impregnated paper (OIP) insulation is governed by two primary aging mechanisms: electrical and thermal. The electrical life can be represented as an Inverse Power Law, where lifetime is inversely proportional to applied electric field. The process of thermal aging on the other hand is established by Arrhenius Law,...conference paper 2022

Ross, Robert (author), Koopmans, Gerben (author)Testing materials and devices for a specific failure mechanism usually yields a characteristic distribution of failure times. However, failure of power electronics (PE) can be due to a manifold of mechanisms. Even in a single PE device multiple failure processes may compete. For instance, modules may contain various components that fail...book chapter 2022
