de Fockert, Anton (author), Bijlsma, Arnout C. (author), O'Mahoney, Tom S.D. (author), Verbruggen, Wilbert (author), Scheijgrond, Peter C. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Hydraulic structures can be a promising place for tidal energy extraction due to the high flow velocities, easy access to the power grid and easy access for maintenance. However, quantification of the impacts of a tidal power plant in a hydraulic structure is not straight forward. In 2015 a pilot plant consisting of an array of five Tocardo...journal article 2023

Li, S. (author), Naeimi, M. (author), He, C. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)The mechanism of rail short pitch corrugation has remained elusive in the past. The damage mechanisms of the corrugation are reported to be differential wear or plastic deformation. The former has been extensively studied, while the plastic deformation, especially under multiple wheel passages has been seldom studied. To uncover the facts...journal article 2023

Zhu, Man (author), Tian, Kang (author), Wen, Yuan Qiao (author), Cao, Ji Ning (author), Huang, L. (author)This study contributes to addressing the challenge of quickly obtaining an effective and accurate nonparametric model for describing ship maneuvering motion in three degrees of freedom (3-DOF). To achieve this, an intelligent ship dynamics nonparametric modeling method named improved PER-DDPG is proposed. This method leverages the deep...journal article 2023

Xin, Jianbin (author), Wu, Xuwen (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Zhang, Fangfang (author)Most of the existing path planning methods of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are static. This paper proposes a new methodology for the path planning of a fleet of AGVs to improve the flexibility, robustness, and scalability of the AGV system. We mathematically describe the transport process as a dynamical system using an ad hoc mixed...journal article 2023

Niessen, Lex (author)In the past decade, the application of Neural Networks (NNs) has received increasing interest due to the growth in computing power. In the field of computational mechanics, this has led to numerous publications presenting surrogate models to assist or replace conventional simulation methods. A subset of these networks, referred to as Graph...master thesis 2022

Knijnenburg, Brenda (author)A common method to investigate multisensory integration is using multisensory illusions. The rubber hand illusion is one of the best-known multisensory illusion used in clinical applications. By stroking a visible rubber hand and the participant’s occluded hand, the illusion arises that the rubber hand belongs to the participant. Possible...master thesis 2022

Liu, Jingyue (author)Soft robots are made of compliant materials, which increase their flexibility but also presents modeling challenges. The difficulty mainly comes from material nonlinearity, infinite degrees of freedom, uncertain parameters, and complex calculations. This project uses physics-inspired neural networks to solve the last two problems. Based on the...master thesis 2022

Movva, Kavya (author)To produce an alternative fuel like Methanol from scratch, on a miniature scale- the reactants CO2 and H2O are sourced locally. Zero Emission Fuels B.V. (ZEF) does this by collecting carbon dioxide from the air, via carbon capture techniques and compressing it to high pressure of 55bars. As a consequence of humidity inside the captured CO2,...master thesis 2022

Liu, X. (author), Achterberg, M.A. (author), Kooij, Robert (author)pinion dynamics models study how the interaction among people influences the opinion formation process. In most opinion dynamics models, only one opinion can exist in the steady state, which is different from the real-life opinion formation process. In 2009, Shao et at. introduced a Non-Consensus Opinion (NCO) model, which allows different...conference paper 2022
