Hargrove, Brianne (author), Frecker, Mary (author), Nastevska, Angela (author), Jovanova, J. (author)While nonlinear-elastic materials demonstrate potential in enhancing the performance of compliant mechanisms, their behavior still needs to be captured in a generalized mechanical model. To inform new designs and functionality of compliant mechanisms, a better understanding of nonlinear-elastic materials is necessary and, in particular, their...journal article 2024

Rijkeboer, Mats (author)Highly accurate time sources, such as Cesium-based or GPS clocks, are the best candidates to provide a correct notion of time, but are too costly and impractical for implementation in every modern digital device. Ubiquitously, (crystal) oscillators are employed instead. To maintain a shared notion of time, the offsets and drift/jitter have to be...master thesis 2023

Dabrowski, Pawel S. (author), Zienkiewicz, Marek Hubert (author), Truong-Hong, Linh (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)Church towers are key cultural heritage. In theory, towers are vertical, while facade elements are symmetrically positioned around the tower axis. However, during service of a structure, building and lifetime conditions cause deviations, with associated risks. Laser scanning point clouds can be used to assess the structural state but a...journal article 2023

Lukovics, Miklós (author), Nagy, Benedek (author), Roosenboom-Kwee, Z. (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author)In this paper, we use an economic approach to demonstrate why ‘rational’ businesses are not likely to implement responsible innovation (RI) unless it is economically profitable. The lack of sufficient insights into economic impacts of RI is often induced by information asymmetry. Such asymmetry would hinder consumers who would otherwise be...journal article 2023

Kok, Reinier (author)In the case of the 2017 Grenfell Tower, the fire affected those who were already socio-economically underprivileged. Many residents of the Grenfell tower did not just become homeless or lost personal belongings, approximately two-thirds suffer from post-traumatic stress. Such layered and systemic disparities in the built environment as well as...master thesis 2022

Sabu, Priya (author)Food-evoked emotions are essential for consumers’ food choice prediction and market success. These food-evoked emotions are predominantly measured by explicit self-reports. Yet in certain situations such as social desirability, explicit measures might not reflect one’s true emotional experience. The additional use of implicit measures can be...master thesis 2022

Zhu, C. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Lin, J. (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The mechanisms controlling the formation of an estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in estuaries have been extensively investigated, but one aspect that has received much less scientific attention is the role of high suspended sediment concentrations in combination with tidal asymmetry in ETM formation. Particularly in highly turbid estuaries,...journal article 2022

Tas, S.A.J. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Cheniers are ridges consisting of coarse-grained sediments, resting on top of the fine sediment that forms the otherwise muddy coast. In this paper, we use Delft3D to explore how cheniers are formed through wave winnowing. We identify three phases of chenier development: (a) a winnowing phase, during which mud is washed out of the seabed...journal article 2022

Lesueur, M. (author), Guével, Alexandre (author), Poulet, Thomas (author)Modelling anisotropic flow in rocks requires their full permeability tensor. While theories derived from the upscaling of Stokes flow to Darcy's law may justify the tensor symmetry, homogenisations from micro-scale rock samples often return a non-zero level of asymmetry. Since most studies dismiss these controversial observations as numerical...journal article 2022

Vos, Thomas (author)The lower Ems river suffers from hyper-turbid conditions. These conditions are caused by channel deepening over the last 50 years, resulting in an asymmetrical tidal wave. This asymmetry has resulted in an increased<br/>import of sediment into the Ems river. Recently some effort has gone into determining whether or not the local tidal barrier ...master thesis 2021

Baugh, Rebecca (author)Collaboration between the Global South and Global North is inevitable. It can work. It can be emphatic, effective, and more equal. However, there is a deeply embedded history of colonialism involving power asymmetries that give rise to the dismissal of value systems, which pervert this type of collaboration from being truly realised. Hence,...master thesis 2021

Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)This paper describes the effects of anthropogenic deepening of tidal rivers in a conceptual way, with focus on tidal distortion and the residual transport of coarse sediment, driven by asymmetries in peak velocity. The rivers under consideration are fairly small, with small river discharge, and may have irregular hypsometry, with substantial...journal article 2021

Xu, P. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author)Maritime structures in water always experience a mean hydrostatic pressure. This paper investigates the nonlinear vibration of a clamped circular thin plate subjected to a non-zero mean load. A set of coupled Helmholtz–Duffing equations is obtained by decomposing the static and dynamic deflections and employing a Galerkin procedure. The...journal article 2021

Yepes Julia, C. (author), Gandini, E. (author), Monni, S. (author), Neto, A. (author), Vliet, F. E. van (author), Cavallo, D. (author)In this letter, we present a design of a linear array of tilted dipoles to achieve radiation patterns with asymmetric angular filtering characteristics. To realize the asymmetric radiation, the dipole elements are spaced by a distance larger than half a wavelength, thus allowing for grating lobes to occur in the visible region. Moreover, the...journal article 2020

Wang, H. (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)One of the main drawbacks of crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) is the storage stability issue. The storage instability of CRMB impedes its further application. This study aims to develop a robust methodology to evaluate the storage stability of CRMB binders using both mechanical and morphological tests. The effects of rubber contents (0, 5...journal article 2020

Revealing tacit knowledge often is seen as very valuable for organizations, although it is usually challenging to enunciate and share this type of knowledge. Methods. This study uses a participatory design and the application of a board gaming simulation as instruments to extract tacit knowledge. To illustrate this application,...journal article 2020

Cömert, Tolga (author)Combined wave-current flow is defined as flow in which waves and currents are present together. One of its occurrences in nature is at a tidal inlet system, where incoming waves meet either a current in the same (following) or opposite (opposing) direction. This type of flow is different when compared to wave- or current-only flows. As a result,...master thesis 2019
