Roldan Montero, I. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The problem of extended target cross-section estimation has been considered. A two-step method based on the Total Variation Compressive Sensing theory has been proposed to solve it. First, a coarse estimation of the target cross-section is performed with classical beamforming methods, and then Compressive Sensing algorithms have been applied...conference paper 2022

Mozaffari, Sajjad (author), Rahmani, Omeid (author), Piroozian, Ali (author), Ziabakhshganji, Z. (author), Mostafavi, Hossein (author)Inadequate early compressive strength is a common problem when employing lightweight cement (LWC) slurries during the cementing of oil wells under low-temperature conditions. A new formulation of LWC slurry was investigated by the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) to improve the compressive strength and hydration rate of LWC...journal article 2022

de Gijsel, Stefan L. (author), Vijn, A.R.P.J. (author), Tan, Reinier G. (author)This paper proposes an algorithm to localize a magnetic dipole using a limited number of noisy measurements from magnetic field sensors. The algorithm is based on the theory of compressed sensing, and exploits the sparseness of the magnetic dipole in space. Beforehand, a basis consisting of magnetic dipole fields belonging to individual...journal article 2022

Haarsma, Douwe (author)Increased traffic loads and ageing of concrete bridges and overpasses in the Netherlands make it necessary to reassess these existing structures. Consequently, the current condition and capacity of many concrete structures need to be evaluated. Residual capacity could be discovered during reassessments of concrete slabs due to a phenomenon...master thesis 2021

Kaygan, Arda (author)Functional ultrasound (fUS) is a neuroimaging modality that offers high spatial and temporal resolution while also providing portability. In this thesis, neuroimaging data acquired with fUS at Center for Ultrasound and Brain imaging at Erasmus MC (CUBE) is processed. Due to the fact that fUS data is inherently multidimensional, we propose using...master thesis 2021

Zaaijer, Floris (author)Mechanical air entrapment, void compression and void dissolution are the main mechanisms behind void formation in liquid composite molding. Mechanical air entrapment is induced by the highly non-uniform geometry at the meso- and micro-scale and the heterogeneous properties of the reinforcing material. This results in differences in the velocity...master thesis 2021

Hariharan, Gayathri (author)Organic Rankine Cycle systems are gaining increasing attention as a modular, cost-effective and decentralised thermal energy recovery solution. The design of an efficient expander in the ORC system is crucial to its rapid uptake by the industry. Compared to volumetric expanders, a radial turbine provides advantages in terms of flexibility and...master thesis 2021

Jafari, S. (author)Understanding the behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures requires in-depth insight into the mechanical properties of its constituents and their interaction under compression, tension, and shear loading. As a result, a complete picture of masonry characteristics, accounting for its full nonlinear response and its statistical...doctoral thesis 2021

van Schie, Sebastiaan (author)This thesis poses a new geometric formulation for compressible Euler flows. A partial decomposition of this model into Roe variables is applied; this turns mass density, momentum and kinetic energy into product quantities of the Roe variables. Lie derivative advection operators of weak forms constructed with this decomposed model naturally...master thesis 2021

Samuel Budhi Setyanto, Sam (author)A parking garage of Eindhoven airport partially collapsed in 2017. It was caused by failure of the longitudinal joint (long-side) of the composite plank floor or breedplaatvloer on the roof level. Experimental and numerical research showed that the joint suffered high positive bending moment in its transverse direction. However, from the...master thesis 2021

Veenstra, Rozemarijn (author)Glass has become ever more popular in the building industry. Glass is already used in facades, staircases, fins, floors, and beams. Nevertheless, free-standing load-bearing glass columns are rarely used. It needs to be robust, which means that it needs to give a warning before failure so that people can evacuate. Glass is a brittle material and...master thesis 2021

Ravish Suvarna, Anusha (author)In today's automotive applications, radar is widely used to estimate the target position and velocity with respect to the radar position. Estimating the position of the target in terms of range and velocity is fairly advanced and accurate. However, resolving two closely spaced targets in the azimuth domain which have the same range and relative...master thesis 2021

de Gijsel, Stefan (author)A severe incident with the cargo ship MSC Zoe, which lost hundreds of containers near the Dutch coast, shows how important it can be to detect and localise hidden objects at sea quickly. Also in defence applications localisation of hidden objects in water is important. If the objects are made of magnetic materials, they disturb the Earth...master thesis 2021

Mostert, Marijn (author)Vertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic fractures, with a prevalence of 12-20% in Europe, making them a major health problem because of the associated morbidity, mortality and costs. Without adequate treatment, vertebral fractures are often followed by subsequent fractures, leading to further invalidation and deterioration of health...master thesis 2021

Sarwin, Dennis (author)Purpose<br/>As a result of the worldwide aging population, Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCF) are commonly detected in osteoporotic patients; these can originate from traumatic events or occur spontaneously. The existing VCF devices and their corresponding surgical instruments have their limitations in terms of short- and long-term...master thesis 2021

Pancras, Kevin (author)The Recurrent Inference Machine (RIM) has been developed as an alternative to the clinically used Compressed Sensing (CS) algorithm, using Deep Learning (DL). A common issue with DL networks is the generalization of the network to features that have not been trained for. In this study we evaluate the robustness of the RIM to white matter lesions...master thesis 2021

Hasan, Asif Manzoor (author)Over the past decades, engineers have focused on a common goal - to reduce emissions by making industrial processes more efficient and by utilizing renewable energy sources. One possibility to reach this goal can be achieved by employing processes with non-ideal fluids, such as fluids at supercritical conditions in refrigeration, heat pump...master thesis 2021

Jacobse, Bart (author)Damen is designing more and more slender hull forms, which leads to a small dock block contact area, and therefore a high load on the block bed. Dry docking is achieved by using multiple blocks located along the longitudinal length of the ship. Dock blocks are constituted by several layers, normally three or more. The configuration of the block...master thesis 2021

Sonneveld, Dave (author)Compliant joints have significant advantages compared to rigid-body hinges due to a monolithic design and the absence of friction, which prevents effects like wear, backlash and stick-slip behaviour. However, the loading capability is often limited and the support stiffness generally decreases during rotation, caused by the use of solid leaf...master thesis 2021

Pareyns, Kaat (author)Launch vehicle structures are commonly composed of cylindrical and conical shells, which are inherently sensitive to buckling. The axial compression experienced during launch can consequently be a sizing load case, so it is important to understand the axial buckling behavior of these shells. Experimental testing is an essential part of studying...master thesis 2021
