Borja Rosales, L.P. (author), Scherpen, Jacquelien M.A. (author), Fujimoto, Kenji (author)In this article, we treat extended balancing for continuous-time linear time-invariant systems. We take a dissipativity perspective, thus, resulting in a characterization in terms of linear matrix inequalities. This perspective is useful for determining a priori error bounds. In addition, we address the problem of structure-preserving model...journal article 2023

Flaschel, Moritz (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author)We extend the scope of our recently developed approach for unsupervised automated discovery of material laws (denoted as EUCLID) to the general case of a material belonging to an unknown class of constitutive behavior. To this end, we leverage the theory of generalized standard materials, which encompasses a plethora of important constitutive...journal article 2023

Kalikatzarakis, Miltiadis (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Atlar, Mehmet (author), Gaggero, Stefano (author), Tani, Giorgio (author), Oneto, Luca (author)For propeller-driven vessels, cavitation is the most dominant noise source producing both structure-borne and radiated noise impacting wildlife, passenger comfort, and underwater warfare. Physically plausible and accurate predictions of the underwater radiated noise at design stage, i.e., for previously untested geometries and operating...journal article 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Saravanakumar, Karthikeyan (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)For a better understanding of the hydrotalcite-like phase with SEM-EDS microanalysis, the present research paid special attention to the data acquisition and interpretation of this technique. A lower Mg/Al ratio was obtained when using a higher accelerating voltage, and a beam energy of 10 kV was more appropriate than 15 kV for investigation...journal article 2023

Wang, X. (author), Baldi, S. (author), Feng, Xuewei (author), Wu, Changwei (author), Xie, Hongwei (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The vector field method was originally proposed to guide a single fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) towards a desired path. In this work, a non-uniform vector field method is proposed that changes in both magnitude and direction, for the purpose of achieving formations of UAVs. As compared to related work in the literature, the...journal article 2023

Hoogerbrugge, Coen (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)This paper studies factors for the adoption of quality standards. The identified factors are applied to a typical example of such a standard; a new standardized measurement and calculation methodology for corporate greenhouse gas inventories. Standardization of these methodologies fosters innovation, as it will provide innovators and regulators...journal article 2023

Rivera, Sebastian (author), Goetz, Stefan M. (author), Kouro, Samir (author), Lehn, Peter W. (author), Pathmanathan, Mehanathan (author), Bauer, P. (author), Mastromauro, Rosa Anna (author)Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure will play a critical role in decarbonization during the next decades, energizing a large share of the transportation sector. This will further increase the enabling role of power electronics converters as an energy transition technology in the widespread adoption of clean energy sources and their...journal article 2023

Zattoni Scroccaro, P. (author), Sharifi K., Arman (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)In the past few years, online convex optimization (OCO) has received notable attention in the control literature thanks to its flexible real-time nature and powerful performance guarantees. In this article, we propose new step-size rules and OCO algorithms that simultaneously exploit gradient predictions, function predictions and dynamics,...journal article 2023

Berg, Maikel (author)Implemented in river landscapes, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have the potential to reduce flood risk, while also playing an important role in restoring many of the ecosystem services that are lost as result of human interventions and global warming. A barrier to succesfull implementation of NbS is the lack of a global and common framework with...master thesis 2022

Schoustra, Bauke (author)Purpose: This thesis is the result of a problem regarding the fairness of rent- and contract conditions in the entire Dutch rental housing segment. The Dutch housing market is under a lot of pressure due to scarcity, high demand in housing and rising prices and this has led to problems. One of these problems relates to the rental segment. Due to...master thesis 2022

van Bruggen, Arthur (author)Social and political pressure has made emissions an increasingly important subject for companies. The extension of the sustainability reporting mandate by the EU has increased the necessity for carbon transparency for companies in Europe. Warehousing and distribution account for 13\% global supply chain emissions and can be an important factor...master thesis 2022

Eggink, David (author)The effects of standardization on entrepreneurship are a research field for which a lot still needs to be done. In particular, there is little research into the adoption of de jure standards by entrepreneurs. These standards are the product of committee-based standardization, which is when committees consisting of stakeholders that are related...master thesis 2022

Molenaar, Lennart (author)This research is about which geometry of FRP slabs is the most optimal, in terms of costs, to use for a given load and boundary conditions taking the occurring uplift bolt forces into account. The first part of the report focuses on the calculation of the uplift forces in the bolted connections caused by the moving loads. For this, first a...master thesis 2022

PAVLIDOU, ANDRONIKI (author)In recent years, there has been an exponential growth in the need for 3D spatial information, particularly 3D models representing the geographic information of the urban environment. The existence of a comprehensive integrated 3D model representing the condition of the underground utility networks in accordance with the above-ground city objects...master thesis 2022

Nota, Hugo (author)The effects of climate change are felt all around the world. An increased sea level goes hand in hand with an increased risk of flooding. To combat this, the coastlines must be reinforced to withstand future sea levels. However, repeatedly reinforcing coastlines to keep up with the sea level rise (SLR) could prove extremely costly. An...master thesis 2022

Terwindt, Maurits (author)This thesis looks into the link between the Volkswagen emission scandal, or dieselgate, and the strong rise of electric vehicles in the years following that event. In order to investigate this, a framework is build that describes the process of an innovation (the electric vehicle), taking over from an incumbent technology (fossil fuel cars), in...master thesis 2022

Soliman, Philip (author)This thesis contains the development of continuous Kepler orbit- and a discrete numerical integration-based collision detection algorithms in a system of LEO satellites, which in combination with collision algorithm form a simplified space debris evolution model. This model is then used to study the Kessler syndrome. The continuous and discrete...bachelor thesis 2022

Trommelen, Joost (author), Vermeulen, Stijn (author), Schouten, Geert (author), Kallan, Daniel (author)The geographical features in the Southern part of Limburg forces precipitation from upstream located areas to flow through a bottleneck, which is exactly located at the city centre of Valkenburg. This makes increasing the safety level more complicated than in other areas. The safety level of Valkenburg has a lower standard in comparison to the...student report 2022

Wu, Yuhao (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)A technical standards alliance (TSA) is a collection of firms organized for a common goal: developing, revising, and promoting technical standards. A firm may participate in standardization through one or more TSAs: its TSA network. However, little is known about the influencing factors and their boundary conditions for gaining firm-level...journal article 2022
