de Bles, Wouter (author)Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) marine propellers potentially outperform metallic propellers in terms of efficiency and underwater radiated noise (URN) by hydro-elastic tailoring of the blades. Several methods can assess the extent of these potentials. Research shows that embedded sensing methods can be used in dynamic measurements of...master thesis 2022

Huijer, Arno (author)Fibre-reinforced composites are increasingly being used in maritime structures. Piezoelectric sensors can be used to monitor both loads acting on a fibre-reinforced composite structure and elastic waves emitted from damage initiation within the structure. In certain marine applications, due to a harsh environment or for hydrodynamic reasons,...master thesis 2019
