Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author)Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring is one of the possibilities to detect the crack distribution inexisting concrete structures. However, the conventional method requires further destruction likeopening of new cracks or propagation of the existing cracks. In this paper, a new strategy ofusing local cumulative AE activities during unloading to...conference paper 2019

Jamali-Rad, H. (author)Wireless networks have revolutionized nowadays world by providing real time cost-efficient service and connectivity. Even such an unprecedented level of service could not fulfill the insatiable desire of the modern world for more advanced technologies. As a result, a great deal of attention has been directed towards (mobile) wireless sensor...doctoral thesis 2014

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)To assess the structural capacity of reinforced concrete structures, identifying the internal cracks is important. Acoustic emission (AE) is promising to estimate the location of internal cracks. However, the localization is influenced by many factors like arrival time picking error, presence of crack, etc., resulting in localization error. The...journal article 2023

van den Berg, Boudewijn (author), Manoochehri, M. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Buitenweg, Jan R. (author)Recent studies have established the presence of nociceptive steady-state evoked potentials (SSEPs), generated in response to thermal or intra-epidermal electric stimuli. This study explores cortical sources and generation mechanisms of nociceptive SSEPs in response to intra-epidermal electric stimuli. Our method was to stimulate healthy...journal article 2022

Amoiridis, O. (author), Zarri, A. (author), Zamponi, R. (author), Pasco, Y. (author), Yakhina, G. (author), Christophe, J. (author), Moreau, S. (author), Schram, C. (author)Sound emissions of an automotive engine cooling system are studied using both single-microphone directivity measurements and a rotating beamforming technique. These measurements provide reference acoustic data on such a system and some new understanding of the effect that the radiator induces on the distribution of sound sources. Indeed, the...journal article 2022

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Naaktgeboren, N.M. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)This paper proposes a new damage identification method, namely, the probability density field of acoustic emission (AE) events. This new method provides a different perspective to deal with the uncertainties in the source localization process. We treat the source location as a random variable, and estimate its probability density field based...journal article 2022

(author), Kwakkel, Gert (author), Selles, R.W. (author)Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising tool to improve and speed up motor rehabilitation after stroke, but inconsistent clinical effects refrain tDCS from clinical implementation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the need for individualized tDCS configurations in stroke, considering interindividual variability in...journal article 2022

Zhou, Y. (author), Liang, M. (author), Yue, X. (author)Large errors can be introduced in traditional acoustic emission (AE) source localization methods using extracted signal features such as arrival time difference. This issue is obvious in the case of irregular structural geometries, complex composite structure types or presence of cracks in wave travel paths. In this study, based on a novel...journal article 2023

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)Monitoring or identifying structural cracks is crucial for assessing the health of existing concrete structures. Key information about structural cracking encompasses the location of the crack and its kinematics, which include movements perpendicular and parallel to the crack face. Acoustic emission (AE) is a sensitive technique for detecting...journal article 2023

Hu, Y. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Estimation problems in the presence of deterministic linear nuisance parameters arise in a variety of fields. To cope with those, three common methods are widely considered: (1) jointly estimating the parameters of interest and the nuisance parameters; (2) projecting out the nuisance parameters; (3) selecting a reference and then taking...journal article 2017

Zhang, F. (author), Pahlavan, Lotfollah (author), Yang, Y. (author)Acoustic emission source localization is a promising monitoring technique for concrete structures. However, the accuracy of acoustic emission source localization is influenced by many factors, such as the presence of cracks, which are commonly observed in existing reinforced concrete structures. In this article, the acoustic emission source...journal article 2020

Morency, M.W. (author), Vorobyov, Sergiy A. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Source localization and spectral estimation are among the most fundamental problems in statistical and array signal processing. Methods that rely on the orthogonality of the signal and noise subspaces, such as Pisarenko's method, MUSIC, and root-MUSIC, are some of the most widely used algorithms to solve these problems. As a common feature,...journal article 2018

Drioli, Carlo (author), Giordano, G. (author), Salvati, Daniele (author), Blanchini, Franco (author), Foresti, Gian Luca (author)This paper discusses the problem of tracking a moving target by means of a cluster of mobile agents that is able to sense the acoustic emissions of the target, with the aim of improving the target localization and tracking performance with respect to conventional fixed-array acoustic localization. We handle the acoustic part of the problem by...journal article 2019

Lynn, Raissa (author)Estimating a room geometry using multiple microphones rises an echoes labeling problem. Two recent methods called the graph-based and the subspace-greedy methods have shown their capability in solving this problem. The graph-based method attains a good accuracy but suffers in maintaining the computational cost when the number of microphones is...master thesis 2018

Zhang, Fengqiao (author)An increasing number of existing structures are approaching the end of their technical service life. Therefore, monitoring these structures to get the information of their health condition, which is called structural health monitoring (SHM), is becoming more significant.

Karittevlis, Christodoulos (author)Background: When two acoustic sinusoids of slightly different frequencies are presented in the same ear, the listener perceives a beating sound with a rate the difference frequency between the two sinusoids. In the dichotic presentation of two acoustic sinusoids with slightly different frequencies, separately at the two ears, the listener...master thesis 2020

Maceira Elvira, P. (author)After stroke, functional recovery may be promoted during the first six months through rehabilitation. Several events are thought to lead to regaining lost functions, among which the remapping of affected limbs to other regions of the cortex is a frequent occurrence. High spatial resolution brain imaging techniques, like magnetic resonance...master thesis 2017

Sathyapriyan, V. (author)For people with hearing impairment, it is important to have good speech intelligibility, while also being able to localise the sound sources. Many beam-forming algorithms for hearing aids have been proposed, that minimise the noise, in combination with spatial scene preservation of the target and the interferers. By constraining the spatial cues...master thesis 2020
