Anand, S. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)To design crash structures for disruptive aircraft designs, it is required to have fast and accurate methods that can predict crashworthiness of aircraft structures early in the design phase. Axial crushing is one of the key energy absorbing mechanisms during a crash event. In this study, various analytical models proposed for calculation of...journal article 2024

Hemel, M. (author)Amsterdam faces the challenge of maintaining a domain of 200 km historic quay walls, which is a vital part of the city’s historical landscape. Many quays are currently in poor condition and require renovation or replacement in the near future, significantly impacting the city. The quay walls can be up to 300 years old and their structure...doctoral thesis 2023

Volakos, Efstratios (author), Davis, Chris (author), Teich, Martien (author), Lenk, Peter (author), Overend, M. (author)Embedded load-bearing laminated glass connections have gained popularity in recent years due to their mechanical performance and aesthetic appeal. However, there is a paucity of data on their structural behaviour across a range of temperatures that may arise in building applications and there is also no simplified mechanics-based model for...journal article 2023

Werlen, Vincent (author), Vocke, Richard (author), Brauner, Christian (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author), Michaud, Véronique (author), Rytka, Christian (author)A new model is proposed for the consolidation of hybrid textiles, in which air entrapment and dissolution are considered. One of the key parameters is tow permeability, which is described by the analytical model of Gebart and validated at very high fibre volume fractions by direct tow permeability measurement. The model also takes into...journal article 2023

Bhadra, A. (author), Haverkort, J.W. (author)Microfluidic fuel cells, electrolyzers, and redox flow batteries utilize laminar flow channels to provide reactants, remove products and avoid their crossover. These devices often also employ porous flow-through electrodes as they offer a high surface area for the reaction and excellent mass transfer. The geometrical features of these...journal article 2023

de Jong, M.N. (author), Campana, Francesca Cala (author), Li, Pengfei (author), Pan, Qiuwei (author), Giordano, G. (author)In 2022, worldwide mpox outbreaks have called attention to mpox virus infection and treatment opportunities using the drugs cidofovir and tecovirimat, which target different stages of in-host viral proliferation, respectively production and shedding. We propose a new model of in-host viral infection dynamics that distinguishes between the two...journal article 2023

Aarts, Michiel J.M. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Knoop, V.L. (author)The traffic density of small aerial vehicles operating within urban environments is expected to increase significantly in the near future. This urban environment is highly constrained due to being limited to the low-altitude airspace directly above the existing road network. Multiple studies have addressed factors influencing the capacity of...journal article 2023

Valiya Valappil, S. (author), Krushynska, Anastasiia O. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author)The band-gap frequencies of elastic metamaterials are ideally determined by a metamaterial architecture; yet, in practical situations, are often dependent on the material damping in their constituent(s). The analysis of viscoelastic metamaterials requires however substantial computational resources and, except for oversimplified cases, is...journal article 2023

Du, Yunlu (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Guo, Baocheng (author), Peng, Fei (author), Yao, Y. (author), Dong, J. (author)This article proposes a hybrid analytical model (HAM) for predicting ac copper losses in hairpin windings. The HAM combines the nonlinear semi-analytical model (SAM) and the 1-D ac copper loss computation model to solve the inaccurate boundary solutions of the 1-D ac copper loss computation model when magnetic saturation occurs in the stator...journal article 2023

Du, Yunlu (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Guo, Baocheng (author), Peng, Fei (author), Yao, Yu (author), Dong, J. (author)In this article, a new analytical model for predicting the magnetic field of the U-shaped interior permanent magnet motor (IPMM) is proposed. In the polar coordinates, rectangular permanent magnets are equivalent to the combination of consistent fan-shaped subdomains, and after that, the Laplace or Poisson equation of each solution domain can...journal article 2023
