Yarce Botero, A. (author)When considering air quality, notably in South America, it seems that we are falling behind more developed regions in exacerbating the issue. This shortfall serves not just as observation, but as a warning, as air quality problems here are rapidly escalating. Nevertheless, by examining how other countries have addressed similar issues, we can...doctoral thesis 2024

Ioannidou, C. (author)The focus of the present work is on the micro-alloying element vanadium, which is well known for providing precipitation strengthening to steels and which has, therefore, attracted a lot of interest the last decades. Vanadium carbide precipitation can take place in the migrating austenite/ferrite interface during the austenite-to-ferrite phase...doctoral thesis 2022

Meijers, P.C. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)This paper reports on a measurement campaign in which the magnetomechanical response of a steel monopile is recorded during installation with a hydraulic impact hammer. By comparing impact-induced changes in the magnetic stray field of the structure to the measured strain, this effect is analysed for the first time under dynamic loading...journal article 2021

Rasooli, A. (author)Accurate determination of building’s critical thermo-physical characteristics such as the walls’ thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, and volumetric heat capacity is essential to indicate effective and efficient energy conservation strategies at building level. In practice, the values of these parameters, which determine not only possible...doctoral thesis 2020

Rasooli, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)Accurate determination of walls' thermo-physical characteristics is a necessity for execution of energy conservation strategies in existing buildings. In practice, such data is not available because the current determination methods are time expensive and therefore rarely used. Based on the theory of Response Factors, a rapid transient in...journal article 2019

Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Nastasi, B. (author)Data analysis methodologies are crucial to learn insights from data and to create more trust in the assumptions used for energy performance assessment. Indeed, continuous performance monitoring should become a more diffuse practice in order to improve our design and operation strategies for the future. This is an essential step to reduce...journal article 2019

Ioannou, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Agarwal, Tushar (author)Indoor thermal comfort is generally assessed using the PMV or the adaptive model. This research presents the results obtained by in-situ real time measurements of thermal comfort and thermal comfort perception in 17 residential dwellings in the Netherlands. The study demonstrates the new possibilities offered by relatively cheap, sensor-rich...journal article 2018

Rasooli, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)Accurate and reliable in-situ characterization of buildings’ thermal envelope is of high significance to determine actual energy use and thermal comfort. In this context, walls’ thermal resistance is one of the most critical properties to be identified. Regardless the numerous studies being carried out to accurately measure the actual thermal...journal article 2018

Wang, H. (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)For the condition monitoring of railway catenaries, the potential utilization of pantograph head (pan-head) vertical acceleration instead of pantograph-catenary contact force is discussed in this paper. In order to establish a baseline of the pan-head acceleration before it can be used for health condition monitoring, one of the essential...conference paper 2017

Ioannou, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)Reducing energy consumption in the residential sector is an imperative EU goal until 2020. An important boundary condition in buildings is that energy savings shouldn’t be achieved at the expense of thermal comfort. There is, however, little known about comfort perception in residential buildings and its relation to the PMV theory. In this...journal article 2017

Rasooli, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author)Large deviations observed between the actual and theoretical gas consumption in Dutch dwellings, cast a shadow of doubt on the accuracy of the energy labeling method. In this sense, the accuracy of the calculation methods as well as the inputs being fed, fall under the question. According to several studies, the significance of wall’s thermal...conference paper 2016
