van der Meulen, P.Q. (author)Whereas aberrating layers are typically viewed as an impediment to medical ultrasound imaging, they can, surprisingly, also be used to our benefit. As long as we can model the effect of an aberrating layer, we can utilize ‘model-based imaging’, the imaging technique explored throughout this thesis, to reconstruct ultrasound images where...doctoral thesis 2023

Schriemer, Sterre (author)Frequentist statistics and Bayesian statistics are the two main approaches to statistical inference. The frequentist approach is commonly integrated into academic curricula, while the Bayesian approach is less frequently employed. However a comparison of the approaches, further investigating their shortcomings and advantages, might give a better...bachelor thesis 2023

Draisma, Max (author)Understanding the factors that drive extreme water levels is key to an accurate assessment of flood hazard. The city of Venice has always been affected by flooding due to extreme water levels. In this study, we examine the factors driving and influencing extreme water levels in the Venice lagoon, aiming at deriving accurate extreme water level...master thesis 2023

Helsdingen, Timothy (author)This study investigates the problem of prioritising trucks at the export area of the KLM Cargo ground handler terminal while maintaining a continuous operation in the unloading area. Due to the uncoordinated nature of truck arrivals and space limitations at the ground handler, substantial waiting times may arise when<br/>trucks arrive...master thesis 2023

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

Li, Longlong (author), Khait, M. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Terekhov, Kirill M. (author), Abushaikha, Ahmad (author)We apply Massively Parallel Interface for MPFA-O scheme with state-of-the-art Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) approach for multiphase flow in porous media. The implementation of MPFA-O scheme enhances the modelling capabilities for non-K-orthogonal mesh. A fully implicit scheme is applied to guarantee the stability of solutions when a mass...journal article 2023

Tseremoglou, I. (author), van Kessel, Paul J. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)Condition-based maintenance (CBM) scheduling of an aircraft fleet in a disruptive environment while considering health prognostics for a set of systems is a very complex combinatorial problem, which is becoming more challenging in light of the uncertainty included in health prognostics. This type of problem falls under the broad category of...journal article 2023

Bresser, D. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Pari, M. (author)Sequentially Linear Analysis (SLA), an event-by-event solution strategy in which a sequence of scaled linear analyses with decreasing secant stiffness is performed, representing local damage increments; is a robust alternative to nonlinear finite element analysis of quasi-brittle structures. Since it is based on a fixed smeared crack...journal article 2023

Mathiesen, Frederik Baymler (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Laurenti, L. (author)Providing non-trivial certificates of safety for non-linear stochastic systems is an important open problem. One promising solution to address this problem is the use of barrier functions. Barrier functions are functions whose composition with the system forms a Martingale and enable the computation of the probability that the system stays...journal article 2023

Liu, L. (author), Shetgaonkar, A.D. (author), Lekic, A. (author)This paper presents the modular-multilevel-converter (MMC) control interoperability (IOP) and interaction within the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)-based power system. IOP is a crucial issue in the large-scale HVDC grid with different suppliers. To accommodate future multi-vendor HVDC grids developments, this article comprehensively...journal article 2023

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

Tan, J. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Jarquin Laguna, A. (author), Miedema, S.A. (author)An adjustable draft point absorber was recently proposed as a novel approach to improve power absorption with constrained power take-off (PTO) capacities. The key feature of the novel wave energy converter (WEC) concept is to adjust the buoy draft by regulating the ballast water inside the buoy, which aims to enable variation of the natural...journal article 2023

Stasevičius, Simonas (author)Central configurations provide the only closed-form analytical solutions of the n-body problem. All possible central configurations of three bodies have been extensively studied along with the stability of the associated periodic orbits. Stable cases have been found for the Lagrangian triangle configuration, which we see occurring with the...master thesis 2022

Endlich, Luuk (author)The design of a guide-path map is a well-known problem in various industries, such as automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, road networks, and train track design. Nowadays, designing a path map is a manual, time-consuming, and expensive process. The solutions often turn out to be far from optimal. Several approaches are known to generate path...master thesis 2022
