Urgilez Vinueza, A.R. (author)Landslide activity in the Andes remains an ongoing natural hazard with significant implications for regional development. Slow-moving landslides, while not typically resulting in catastrophic outcomes, can still cause substantial damage to critical infrastructure, including roads, buildings, crops, and hydropower dams. In southeast Ecuador, slow...doctoral thesis 2024

Mohammadkarimi, M. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)A new method for joint ranging and Phase Offset (PO) estimation of multiple drones/aircrafts is proposed in this paper. The proposed method employs the superimposed uncoordinated Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) packets broadcasted by drones/aircrafts for joint range and PO estimation. It jointly estimates range and PO prior...journal article 2024

Ihsan, A.F. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Tuwankotta, J.M. (author)In this paper, the vibrations of a string are considered. At one end of the string, a smooth obstacle is placed and the other end of the string is attached to a fixed point. The contact between the string and the obstacle varies in time, and leads to a linear, moving boundary value problem for the string vibrations. By applying a boundary...journal article 2024

Xu, Fuqiang (author), Song, Xianzhi (author), Li, Shuang (author), Shi, Yu (author), Song, G. (author), Lv, Zehao (author), Yi, Junlin (author)In the long-term mining of geothermal resources in hot dry rock (HDR), the change of thermal stress and pore pressure will increase fracture conductivity evolution, further improving production performance. The optimization and decision-making of the development scheme based on the impact of damage from fractures have yet to be reported. The...journal article 2024

Liu, Minne (author), Li, Wenyu (author), Chen, Wei (author), Ibrahim, Mesfin S. (author), Xiong, Jingkang (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, Jiajie (author)During the operation of an LED array, its thermal and optical performances are always not equal to the superposition of the individual LED's characteristics because of a significant thermal coupling effect between the arrays. Based on this, this paper proposes an electrical–photo-thermal model, with considering both junction temperature and...journal article 2024

Wilde, N. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)We study the problem of finding statistically distinct plans for stochastic task assignment problems such as online multi-robot pickup and delivery (MRPD) when facing multiple competing objectives. In many real-world settings robot fleets do not only need to fulfil delivery requests, but also have to consider auxiliary objectives such as...journal article 2024

Ihsan, A.F. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Tuwankotta, J.M. (author)In this paper, a classical Stefan problem with a prescribed and small time-dependent temperature at the boundary is studied. By using a multiple time-scales perturbation method, it is shown analytically how the moving boundary profile is influenced by the prescribed temperature at the boundary and the initial conditions. Only a few exact...journal article 2024

Shoja, Aydin (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Recently, the focus of reflection seismologists has shifted to applications where a high-resolution image of the subsurface is required. Least-Squares Reverse-Time Migration (LSRTM) is a common tool used to compute such images. Still, its high computational costs have led seismologists to use target-oriented LSRTM for imaging only a small target...journal article 2024

Binatari, N. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Verstraten, P. (author), Adi-Kusumo, F. (author), Aryati, L. (author)In this paper, we present a new approach on how the multiple time-scales perturbation method can be applied to differential-delay equations such that approximations of the solutions can be obtained which are accurate on long time-scales. It will be shown how approximations can be constructed which branch off from solutions of differential...journal article 2024

Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024

(author)The Marchenko algorithm can suppress the disturbing effects of internal multiples that are present in seismic reflection data. To achieve this, a set of coupled equations with four unknowns is solved. These coupled equations are separated into a set of two equations with two unknowns using a time window. The two unknown focusing functions can...journal article 2024

Moreno León, C. (author)Radar-tracking of low-observable targets such as drones suffers from low detection performance. In these type of applications, it is desirable to avoid data thresholding in order to preserve the weak target signal in the raw sensor data.

Jamshidnejad, A. (author), Sun, D. (author), Ferrara, Antonella (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Model predictive control (MPC) has been widely used for traffic management, such as for minimizing the total time spent or the total emissions of vehicles. When long-term green urban mobility is considered including e.g. a constraint on the total yearly emissions, the optimization horizon of the MPC problem is significantly larger than the...journal article 2023
