Stuber, V.L. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)Two piezoelectric series bimorph sensors were embedded below the skin of a NACA 0012 symmetrical airfoil to detect the local state of the boundary layer during wind tunnel testing.

Tuluk, A. (author), Joshi, Siddharth (author), Mahon, T.R. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)Bismuth ferrite is a potentially interesting lead-free piezoelectric material for use in high-temperature applications due to its high Curie temperature. However, the high coercive field and high leakage currents of pure BiFeO3 (BFO) prevent reaching its theoretical performance level. The classic approach to tailoring piezoceramic properties...journal article 2022

(author)This article describes the challenges of integrating smart sensing, actuation, and control concepts into an over-sensed and over-actuated technology integrator. This technology integrator has more control inputs than the expected responses or outputs (over-actuated), and its every state is measured using more than one sensor system (over-sensed)...journal article 2022

Tuluk, A. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)BiFeO <sub>3</sub> is a multiferroic material with a perovskite structure that has a lot of potential for use in sensors and transducers. However, obtaining pure single-phase BiFeO <sub>3</sub> ceramic with a low electrical conductivity via solid-state reactions remains a problem that limits its application. In this work, the suppression of...journal article 2022

Tuluk, A. (author), Mahon, T.R. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Groen, W.A. (author)BiFeO<sub>3</sub> is an interesting multiferroic material with potential use in sensors and transducers. However, the high coercive field and low dielectric strength of this material make the poling process extremely difficult. Poling becomes a lot easier if the ceramic particles are incorporated in a non-conductive polymer with comparable...journal article 2021

Kuś, G.I. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Bessa, M.A. (author)Gaussian processes are well-established Bayesian machine learning algorithms with significant merits, despite a strong limitation: lack of scalability. Clever solutions address this issue by inducing sparsity through low-rank approximations, often based on the Nystrom method. Here, we propose a different method to achieve better scalability...journal article 2021
