Azevedo Vasconcelos, A.C. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)Elastic metamaterials have been mostly designed to control structural vibration for a specific frequency range. However, the stresses developed due to the wave propagation are not commonly consider in their design phase. This work proposes a multi-objective design optimization of a metamaterial-based interface to tune its dynamic characteristics...abstract 2023

Schott, D.L. (author), van den Hoed, M. (author)This article reviews the equipment and technology used for transport and handling of break bulk or general cargo on break bulk terminals. The product groups in break bulk are categorized into five groups: bags, bananas, steel and timber, project cargo, and roll‐on roll‐off. Each of the categories has its own specialized equipment for efficient...book chapter 2018

Derakhshani, S.M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Dust emissions can have significant effects on the human health, environment and industry equipment. Understanding the dust generation process helps to select a suitable dust preventing approach and also is useful to evaluate the environmental impact of dust emission. To describe these processes, numerical methods such as Computational Fluid...conference paper 2013

Azevedo Vasconcelos, A.C. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)This paper discusses an elastic metamaterial for filtering energy from certain frequencies of an incoming wave. The unit cell, which is composed by a single material, is built to obtain a local resonance band gap. Since Bloch-Floquet's periodic condition is enforced to the unit cell, the dynamic characteristics of the metamaterial is obtained...conference paper 2021

Yan, Y. (author), Vreeburg, Wouter (author), Chen, Guangming (author), Schott, D.L. (author)Using bionic surface on the material equipment interface of bulk handling equipment is a promising solution for wear reduction. A bionic surface is a flat surface outfitted with a pattern of convexes that disrupt the natural sliding flow of bulk material. Previous numerical work has shown a significant reduction of wear of bionic surfaces...conference paper 2019

Gilvari, H. (author), de Jong, W. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)The breakage behaviour of biomass pellets with a diameter of 6 mm under uniaxial compression test was studied experimentally and numerically using the discrete element method (DEM). Two types of the available bonding contact models in EDEM software were used to compare the macroscopic properties including the maximum stress at failure, strain at...conference paper 2019

Gilvari, H. (author), de Jong, W. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)The transportation, handling, and storage of biomass pellets are challenging due to pellet breakage and fines generation. The amount of fines generated during transportation and handling of biomass pellets is mostly measured in the laboratory using mechanical durability testers such as tumbling can method according to ISO 17831-1. This standard...conference paper 2019

Grashof, Bernd (author), Alvarez Grima, M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author)Rock cutting is a challenging process. Heavy equipment, large cutting forces, high wear rates and large amounts of required energy are common challenges when cutting rock. Traditionally, rock cutting is based on a linear motion of the cutting tool. However, a significant improvement on the cutting performance is expected when using non-linear...conference paper 2019
