Roelofsen, C.P.G. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Vink, P. (author)There are different thermal perception models linked to a mathematical thermophysiological human model, with which the thermal sensation under stationary and/or dynamic conditions can be evaluated. Each of these perception and thermophysiological models have their own field of application. Stolwijk developed a thermophysiological human model...journal article 2021

Bešinović, Nikola (author), Wang, Yihui (author), Zhu, Songwei (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Tang, Tao (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)In big cities, the metro lines usually face great pressure caused by huge passengers demand, especially during peak hours. When disruptions occur, passengers accumulate quickly at stations. It is of great importance for dispatchers to take passenger flow control into consideration for the traffic management to ensure passengers' safety and to...journal article 2021

Zhang, Fan (author), Zhou, He (author), Huang, Panfeng (author), Guo, J. (author)The tethered formation system has been widely studied due to its extensive use in aerospace engineering, such as Earth observation, orbital location, and deep space exploration. The deployment of such a multitethered system is a problem because of the oscillations and complex formation maintenance caused by the space tether's elasticity and...journal article 2021

Wu, C. (author), Pan, W. (author), Sun, Guanghui (author), Liu, Jianxing (author), Wu, Ligang (author)This paper investigates the problem of optimal tracking control for cyber-physical systems (CPS) when the cyber realm is attacked by denial-of-service (DoS) attacks which can prevent the control signal transmitting to the actuator. Attention is focused on how to design the optimal tracking control scheme without using the system dynamics and...journal article 2021

Bonacchi, Luigi Bono (author), Roa, Maximo A. (author), Sesselmann, Anna (author), Loeffl, Florian (author), Albu-Schaffer, Alin (author), Della Santina, C. (author)Introducing elasticity in the mechanical design can endow robots with the ability of performing efficient and effective periodic motions. Yet, devising controllers that can take advantage of such elasticity is still an open challenge. This letter tackles an instance of this general problem, by proposing a control architecture for executing...journal article 2021

Roelofsen, C.P.G. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Vink, P. (author)For sedentary activities, the PMV equation, derived by Fanger, is mainly based on the research of Nevins et al. (720 test subjects). Nevins' experiments were later on repeated by Fanger, but with 128 college-age Danish subjects and 128 elderly Danish subjects, instead of American subjects. Rohles did the research from Nevins et al. again, but...journal article 2021

Wu, S. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author), Blacquière, G. (author)In seismic exploration methods, imperfect spatial sampling at the surface causes a lack of illumination at the target in the subsurface. The hampered image quality at the target area of interest causes uncertainties in reservoir monitoring and production, which can have a substantial economic impact. Especially in the case of a complex...journal article 2021

Cabau Peinado, O. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author), Jourdin, L. (author)Up to now, computational modeling of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has been underexplored, but is necessary to achieve breakthrough understanding of the process-limiting steps. Here, a general framework for modeling microbial kinetics in a MES reactor is presented. A thermodynamic approach is used to link microbial metabolism to the...journal article 2021

Derner, Erik (author), Kubalik, Jiri (author), Babuska, R. (author)Continual model learning for nonlinear dynamic systems, such as autonomous robots, presents several challenges. First, it tends to be computationally expensive as the amount of data collected by the robot quickly grows in time. Second, the model accuracy is impaired when data from repetitive motions prevail in the training set and outweigh...journal article 2021

Burgers, Elsje (author)Estuaries have always been important for mankind and therefore it is essential to have a good understanding of the flow and sediment dynamics there. The goal of this thesis is twofold. One objective is to use an existing model to gain a more thorough understanding of the flow dynamics in an estuary. The second objective is to extend the model...master thesis 2020

van Tegelen, E. (author)Cholera is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Infections can occur directly via contact with infected people, but also indirectly via infected water. Because of these direct, but especially indirect infections, it is useful to investigate the spread of the disease using mathematical epidemic models. In this report a...bachelor thesis 2020

Broekema, Y.B. (author)The Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier is an icon of Dutch hydraulic engineering. Downstream of the barrier, large local erosion pits (scour holes) have formed adjacent to the applied bed protection after its construction. It was expected during the design phase that these would develop, but both the magnitude of the scour hole depth as well as...doctoral thesis 2020
