Miltenburg, Hero (author)This paper presents a validation of a parametric compliance matrix of a circularly curved leaf flexure (CCLF), which has been obtained using the direct method. This is done for three case studies. In case study one, the compliance matrix of a single flexure is evaluated. The results are compared with the results from a finite element analysis...master thesis 2023

Chang, Z. (author), Liang, M. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Wan, Z. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)In this study, an experimental setup to characterize the early-age creep of 3D printable mortar was proposed. The testing protocol comprises quasi-static compressive loading-unloading cycles, with 180-s holding periods in between. An analytical model based on a double power law was used to predict creep compliance with hardening time and...journal article 2023

Sand, M. (author), Hofbauer, B. (author), Alleblas, J. (author)After years of missing the agreed upon goals for carbon reduction, we might conclude that global climate policies set infeasible standards to halt climate change. The widespread non-compliance of many signees with frameworks such as the Paris Agreement indicates that these frameworks were too optimistic regarding the signees’ motivation to act....journal article 2023

Owen, C.C. (author), Hammer, T.C. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author)A series of ice penetration tests with a rigid structure, with controlled oscillation, and with a single-degree-of-freedom structure were performed to investigate the peak load-velocity dependence for ethanol-doped model ice during a test campaign at the Aalto Ice and Wave Tank. For the rigid structure and controlled-oscillation tests, the...journal article 2023

Hendrikse, H. (author), Owen, C.C. (author)For offshore wind turbines on monopile or jacket foundations without ice cones, one of the relevant design load cases is that of ice floes or level ice crushing against the structure resulting in ice-induced vibrations. In relation to that design load case, a relevant question is which ice strength coefficient to use in the crushing formula in...conference paper 2023

Maessen, Rosa E.S. (author), Prendergast, J.M. (author), Peternel, L. (author)Skill propagation among robots without human involvement can be crucial in quickly spreading new physical skills to many robots. In this respect, it is a good alternative to pure reinforcement learning, which can be time-consuming, or learning from human demonstration, which requires human involvement. In the latter case, there may not be...journal article 2023

Torkamaan, H. (author)Mood, often studied using smartphones, influences human perception, judgment, thought, and behavior. Mood measurements on smartphones face challenges concerning the selection of a proper mood measure and its transfer, or translation, into a digital application (app) that is user-engaging. Addressing these challenges, researchers sometimes end up...journal article 2023

Frank, Abel (author)The level-set approach in the field of topology optimisation has been studied thoroughly the last two decennia, but there is a lack of challenging standard benchmark problems. Besides two standard benchmark problems, this master's thesis tackles one difficult benchmark problem in particular: the inverter. For every benchmark the minimum...master thesis 2022

Oudejans, Daan (author)Data compliance is essential for ensuring that organizations do not run afoul of data protection and privacy legislation. Geographically distributed data is an especially relevant topic because of recent developments in cross-border data protection agreements between the United States and the European Union. We introduce Qompliance, a novel...master thesis 2022

Noardo, F. (author), Wu, T. (author), Arroyo Ohori, G.A.K. (author), Krijnen, T.F. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)To support building permit issuing with automatic digital tools, the reuse of models produced by designers would make the process quicker and more objective. However, current studies and pilots often leave a gap with respect to the models as actually provided by architects, having varying quality and content. In this study, rather than taking...journal article 2022

van den Berg, T.G.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Within moral psychology, theories focusing on the conceptualization and empirical measurement of people’s morality in terms of general moral values –such as Moral Foundation Theory- (implicitly) assume general moral values to be relevant concepts for the explanation and prediction of behavior in everyday life. However, a solid theoretical and...journal article 2022

However, studies of national government trust are typically too coarse-grained to differentiate between trust in...journal article 2022

Several studies highlighted the importance of monitoring abdominal compliance (C<sub>ab</sub>) during the creation of laparoscopic workspace to individualize the insufflation pressure. The lack of validated clinical monitoring tools for abdominal...journal article 2022

Mula, S. (author), Donà, Lorenzo (author), Civalleri, Bartolomeo (author), van der Veen, M.A. (author)Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of nanoporous crystalline materials with very high structural tunability. They possess a very low dielectric permittivity ϵr due to their porosity and hence are favorable for piezoelectric energy harvesting. Even though they have huge potential as piezoelectric materials, a detailed analysis and...journal article 2022

Mészáros, A. (author), Franzese, G. (author), Kober, J. (author)This work investigates how the intricate task of a continuous pick & place (P&P) motion may be learned from humans based on demonstrations and corrections. Due to the complexity of the task, these demonstrations are often slow and even slightly flawed, particularly at moments when multiple aspects (i.e., end-effector movement,...journal article 2022

Dekker, S.W.A. (author), Tooma, Michael (author)The shortcomings of incident-based metrics for worker safety such as total recordable incident frequency rate (TRIFR) are well documented. In particular, a low TRIFR is no assurance against legal liability. There is considerable overlap between the literature on safety as the presence of capacities to make things go well, and jurisprudence in...journal article 2022

Schild, Maarten (author), Noomen, R. (author)Due to ever increasing accessibility, recent years have seen a fast growing number of launches to space, especially to Sun-synchronous orbit. The spent rocket parts, and eventually non-functioning payloads of these launches remain in orbit. It is well established that this accumulation of space debris over time is quickly making this the most...journal article 2022
