ten Hagen, Erik (author)Topology optimization is a branch of mechanical engineering in which the topology of a structure is created and optimized to certain conditions and restrictions. In the last few decades, the demand for highly accurate and complex models of these structures has increased and it has a big effect on the computational power needed. To ease the...master thesis 2022

Cardiff Aleu, Joana (author)The design of wind turbines is an iterative process in which load calculations and system performance analyses are done under various environmental conditions. Due to the complexity of wind turbine systems, fully coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic codes are indispensable to represent the nonlinear behaviour of the system. However, nonlinear codes...master thesis 2022

Wang, X. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), Apecechea, Maialen Irazoqui (author), Lin, H.X. (author)Accurate parameter estimation for the Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM) benefits from observations with long time-series. However, increasing the number of measurements leads to a large computation demand and increased memory requirements, especially for the ensemble-based methods that assimilate the measurements at one batch. In this study,...journal article 2022

Sinha, Kautuk (author), Singh, Niels K. (author), Abdalla, Mostafa M. (author), De Breuker, R. (author), Alijani, F. (author)The article proposes a method developed for model order reduction in a Finite Element (FE) framework that is capable of computing higher order stiffness tensors. In the method, a truncated third order asymptotic expansion is used for transformation of an FE model to a reduced system. The basis matrix in the formulation of the reduced-order...journal article 2020
