Mema, I. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)Having proper correlations for hydrodynamic forces is essential for successful CFD-DEM simulations of a fluidized bed. For spherical particles in a fluidized bed, efficient correlations for predicting the drag force, including the crowding effect caused by surrounding particles, are already available and well tested. However, for elongated...journal article 2021

Du, Cong (author), Lu, Guoyang (author), Wang, H. (author), Sun, Yiren (author), Liu, Pengfei (author), Wang, Dawei (author), Leischner, Sabine (author), Oeser, Markus (author)Porous asphalt (PA) pavements are widely employed in areas with wet climates. As particle enhancement inclusions in asphalt mastic, mineral fillers play essential roles in improving the performance of PA pavements. This study developed a coupled multiscale finite element (FE) model, involving the mesostructure of PA mixture and PA pavement....journal article 2021

Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Accurate and explainable short-term traffic forecasting is pivotal for making trustworthy decisions in advanced traffic control and guidance systems. Recently, deep learning approach, as a data-driven alternative to traffic flow model-based data assimilation and prediction methods, has become popular in this domain. Many of these deep learning...journal article 2021

Hingot, V. (author), Chavignon, A. (author), Heiles, B.G. (author), Couture, O. (author)The resolution of an imaging system is usually determined by the width of its point spread function and is measured using the Rayleigh criterion. For most system, it is in the order of the imaging wavelength. However, super resolution techniques such as localization microscopy in optical and ultrasound imaging can resolve features an order of...journal article 2021

Yu, C. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)In natural scenes, the wavelength-dependent sunlight scattering in the atmosphere and the presence of occluders and mutual reflections cause variations in the local illumination's magnitude, direction, and spectral composition as a function of time and space. Yet, unlike the characterization of temporal changes of natural light, these spatial...conference paper 2021

van Nes, A. (author), Yamu, Claudia (author)In previous chapters, we demonstrated various analytic techniques focusing on the spatial aspects of the built environment. In this chapter, we discuss various methods and techniques for collecting qualitative and quantitative data dealing with human behaviour and how to connect such data to the results from various space syntax analyses. This...book chapter 2021

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)This article highlights four common pitfalls in the use of statistics in the area of traffic psychology. Through computer simulations of scenarios that are typical in the field, it is first shown that a statistically significant P-value does not prove that the effect is true, especially when the effect is surprising and the P-value barely...book chapter 2021

Degenhardt, Richard (author), Franzoni, Felipe (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)For most structural parts of real launcher structures buckling is the critical design criterion. Due to the high imperfection sensitivity of these structures and to the unknown geometric imperfections during the design phase, it is still today a challenge to predict a reliable design buckling load and to experimentally and non-destructively...conference paper 2021

Li, X. (author), Kupski, J.A. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)This study investigates the early fatigue damage of cross-ply carbon/epoxy laminates. The aim is to unfold the damage accumulation process, understand the interaction between different damage mechanisms, and quantify their contribution to stiffness degradation. Tension-tension fatigue tests were performed, while edge observation and DIC...journal article 2020

Bosma, Jan (author)The first part of this thesis provides a mathematical description for bipartite quantum correlations, aiming to analyze the geometry of several sets of correlations. We explain why quantum entanglement can be used to simulate shared randomness: C<sub>loc</sub>(Γ) ⊆ C<sub>q</sub><sup>d</sup>(Γ) for a sufficiently large d. The known bound for this...bachelor thesis 2020

Soriano Sutil, Alejandro (author)Type IV composite pressure vessels (CPVs) are used commercially for the gaseous storage of hydrogen in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). However, their economic implementation requires material optimization and a reliable prediction of the vessel strength. In this regard, their burst when loaded under internal pressure is impacted by the...master thesis 2020

Naranjo Hernandez, David (author)In 2017 the National Power Company in Iceland, Landsvirkjun, started the operation of a geother- mal power plant in Theistareykir (Northeastern Iceland). The plant’s operation requires extraction, circulation, and injection of the geothermal fluids to produce energy. These processes depend on the existing fracture network of the reservoir....master thesis 2020
