Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)To ensure the reliability of power systems, the independent system operator (ISO) manages the planning process of the maintenance of generation units for generation companies (GENCOs). This paper focuses on a widely studied two-layer long-term predictive maintenance decision making framework in a deregulated environment. In the first layer...journal article 2023

Fan, Q. (author), van Essen, J.T. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Shared automated vehicles (SAV) are expected to benefit the sustainable development of urban regions and alleviate the negative impacts brought by the increasing number of private cars. In this paper, we envision a future scenario where non-pooled SAVs replace private cars and provide public on-demand mobility services to satisfy the mobility...journal article 2023

Gard, W.F. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Timber pile foundations are widespread in many areas around Europe and North-America. Especially in areas with weak soils, timber pile foundations have been a very good and economic solution. That foundations can be up to 500 years in service in cities like Venice, Amsterdam, Boston and many others. Degradation of the piles may occur over...book chapter 2023

Conings, Vincent (author)To ensure long-term sustainable access to space, it is of paramount importance that humankind acts to alleviate the space debris problem in near vicinity of Earth. The most effective mitigation strategy for large debris items is provided by active debris removal missions, which remove one or more resident space objects from orbit. The execution...master thesis 2022

van der Wal, Robin (author)Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is a type of semi-supervised machine learning used recently in medical and multi-media fields. In MIL, instead of a single feature vector, a set of feature vectors has to be classified. Standard MIL algorithms assume that only some of these vectors are useful for building a classifier. This paper extends the...master thesis 2022

de Wit, Siem (author)In this Bachelor project we researched the applicability of finite difference methods to solve the multi dimensional Westervelt equation. The Westervelt is an equation describing the propagation of a non-linear wave. The goal of this project was to solve the full Westervelt equation in higher dimensions. We used Julia for our implementations of...bachelor thesis 2022

Grolman, Wouter (author)The demand for renewable energies is rising due to climate goals and high oil prices. Not only the established renewable sources like wind and solar are interesting to exploit. There is a vast amount of energy stored in the world’s oceans. To harvest this energy, one needs a Wave Energy Converter (WEC). There<br/>are already some prototype WECs...master thesis 2022

Prins, Peter J. (author)<b>Research question</b><br/>The topic of this dissertation is the numerical computation of the forward and inverse Non-linear Fourier Transform (NFT) for the Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV), for sampled signals that decay sufficiently fast on both sides. With NFTs certain non-linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) can be solved in a way...doctoral thesis 2022

de Haan, Sander (author)Deterministic predictions of wave induced ship motion are increasingly often used to enlarge the oper- ational envelope of ships that perform complex operations at open sea. The large amount of complex operations performed nowadays, motivates the relevance of motion predictions. The company Next Ocean provides these forecasts, based on linear...master thesis 2022

Kraaij, R.C. (author)We extend the Barles-Perthame procedure [4] (see also [22]) of semi-relaxed limits of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the type f−λHf=h to the context of non-compact spaces. The convergence result allows for equations on a ‘converging sequence of spaces’ as well as Hamilton-equations written in terms of two equations in...journal article 2022

Juhola, Sirkku (author), Filatova, T. (author), Hochrainer-Stigler, Stefan (author), Mechler, Reinhard (author), Scheffran, Jürgen (author), Schweizer, Pia Johanna (author)Physical tipping points have gained a lot of attention in global and climate change research to understand the conditions for system transitions when it comes to the atmosphere and the biosphere. Social tipping points have been framed as mechanisms in socio-environmental systems, where a small change in the underlying elements or behavior of...journal article 2022

Fernandez-Menduina, Samuel (author), Krahmer, Felix (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Bhandari, Ayush (author)Conventional literature on array signal processing (ASP) is based on the "capture first, process" later philosophy and to this end, signal processing algorithms are typically decoupled from the hardware. This poses fundamental limitations because if the sensors result in information loss, the algorithms may no longer be able to achieve their...journal article 2022

Ding, Wenlong (author), Wang, Y. (author), Chu, Pengzi (author), Chen, Feng (author), Song, Yongchao (author), Zhang, Ning (author), Lin, Dong (author)The rapid development of the economy has promoted the growth of freight transportation. The truck service areas on expressways, as the main places for truck drivers to rest, play an important role in ensuring the driving safety of trucks. If these service areas are constructed densely or provide a plentiful supply of parking areas, they are...journal article 2022

Kaandorp, C. (author), Miedema, T. (author), Verhagen, J.D. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Infrastructure for heat provision in the built environment needs to change remarkably to support lowering carbon emissions and achieving climate mitigation targets before 2050. We propose a computational approach for finding a mix of heat options per neighbourhood that minimises cumulative carbon emissions between 2030 and 2050, referred to as...journal article 2022

de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Faragau, Andrei B. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author), Steenbergen, M.J.M.M. (author)Locations in railway tracks where significant variations of the track properties occur are subject to increased track deterioration. To successfully mitigate this, the mechanisms leading to the increased deterioration need to be understood. To this end, this work presents a non-linear constitutive law for a lattice model able to describe the...journal article 2022
