Castiel Reis de Souza, A. (author), Elisiário de Carvalho, Darlan Karlo (author), de Moura Cavalcante, Túlio (author), Licapa Contreras, Fernando Raul (author), Edwards, Michael G. (author), Lyra, Paulo Roberto Maciel (author)A novel Flux Limited Splitting (FLS) non-linear Finite Volume (FV) method for families of linear Control Volume Distributed Multi Point Flux Approximation (CVD-MPFA) schemes is presented. The new formulation imposes a local discrete maximum principal (LDMP) which ensures that the discrete solution is free of spurious oscillations. The FLS scheme...journal article 2024

Tao, T. (author), Roy, Spandan (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)In this work we propose a new practical synchronization protocol for multiple Euler Lagrange (EL) systems without structural linear-in-the-parameters (LIP) knowledge of the uncertainty and where the agents can be interconnected before control design by unknown state-dependent interconnection terms. This setting is meant to overcome two...journal article 2024

Seeber, Franziska (author), Khaloian-Sarnaghi, Ani (author), Yu, Taoyi (author), Duddeck, Fabian (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)This contribution aims for an enhanced numerical representation for strength prediction of timber. This implies a validated elasto-plastic continuum damage model which considers orthotropy and heterogeneity of the material, and represents the ductile behavior under compression and the brittle material behavior under tension dependent on the...journal article 2024

Remmerswaal, G. (author)Flood protection infrastructure requires constant investments to cover the increasing flood risk. However, due to over-conservatism in (dyke) safety assessments, poorly targeted investments can be made. Over-conservatism can be avoided by understanding the entire failure process, from the initiation of failure until flooding. Dyke slope...doctoral thesis 2023
