Labaar, Derek (author)High-precision systems often comprise many individual systems, each operating at its own frequency. However, the vibrations from one system can be transmitted to another, which yields a response. In high-tech applications where precision is crucial, such as compliant transmission systems, these responses are undesired as they result in a loss in...master thesis 2024

Cheizoo, Bas (author)The speed and precision required in the precision motion industry is an ever-growing challenge. Linear control offers intuitive frequency-domain controller design methods that are based on a frequency response function (FRF) of the plant, which is obtained solely from measurement data. Unsurprisingly, linear controllers account for over 90% of...master thesis 2024

Reimann, Jesse (author)It was first shown by D. Potapov and F. Sukochev in 2009 that Lipschitz functions are also operator-Lipschitz on Schatten class operators S<sup>p</sup>, 1<p<∞, which is related to a conjecture by M. Krein. Their proof combined Schur multiplication, a generalisation of component-wise matrix multiplication, with the so-called first order...master thesis 2024

Vos, G.M. (author)This thesis deals with multipliers and transference on noncommutative Lp-spaces. It falls within the realm of noncommutative harmonic analysis, i.e. harmonic analysis on noncommutative spaces. Such spaces appear in several areas of mathematics, such as non-abelian groups, quantum groups, noncommutative geometry and the general theory of operator...doctoral thesis 2024

van Damme, M. (author), den Ouden-van der Horst, D. (author)Methods have been developed to predict how hydrodynamic loads acting on nearly saturated porous media are transmitted to the subsoil. In line with the effective stress principle of Terzaghi, these methods apply the boundary conditions that the effective stresses at the surface of a porous medium are zero, and that the pore water pressures...journal article 2024

Du, Yunlu (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Guo, Baocheng (author), Djelloul-Khedda, Zakarya (author), Peng, Fei (author), Yao, Y. (author), Dong, J. (author)In this article, a nonlinear semianalytical model (SAM) is presented to predict the magnetic field distribution (MFD) and electromagnetic performances (EPs) in the cubic spoke-type permanent magnet (PM) machine. To model the rectangular PMs, the rectangular PM is simplified as a combination of fan-shaped regions with different arc angles....journal article 2024

Vasarmidis, Panagiotis (author), Klonaris, Georgios (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author), Stratigaki, Vasiliki (author), Troch, Peter (author)Despite the increasing use of non-hydrostatic models in the study of wave processes in coastal regions, there is still limited understanding of the non-linear properties of the governing equations and how they improve with increased vertical resolution. In this study, the governing equations of the non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH are...journal article 2024

Deshmukh, R.S. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Vahedi, H (author)This article presents a detailed procedure for deriving the generalized average model (GAM) of a dual active bridge converter. The proposed model incorporates higher orders of harmonic components to increase accuracy. Moreover, the turn ratio of the high-frequency transformer (N_t) is considered for realistic modeling, which removes the...journal article 2024

Westerbeek, S.H.J. (author), Hulshoff, S.J. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)A nonlinear Harmonic Navier-Stokes (HNS) framework is introduced for simulating instabilities in laminar spanwise-invariant shear layers, featuring sharp and smooth wall surface protuberances. While such cases play a critical role in the process of laminar-to-turbulent transition, classical stability theory analyses such as parabolized or local...journal article 2024

Ouerghi, Ibrahim (author)The mimetic spectral element method is a relatively young method in numerical solutions of partial differential equations and actions that describe physical systems. Its advantage is that it takes the geometrical structure of the problem into account which guarantees consistency of the numerical scheme and the conservation of relevant quantities...master thesis 2023

Subramani, Surya Natarajan (author)Radiation pattern measurements is a critical step in characterizing antennas before they are used in any system for a specific application. To identify any defects or to acquire the true radiation characteristics of the antenna under test, densely sampled measurements are desired. However, this results in a time and cost expensive measurement...master thesis 2023

(author)Operational modal analysis (OMA) is an essential tool for understanding the structural dynamics of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). However, the classical OMA algorithms require the excitation of the structure to be stationary white noise, which is often not the case for operational OWTs due to the presence of periodic excitation caused by...journal article 2023
