Koens, Dennis (author)High-tech systems are subjected to strict temperature requirements. Therefore temperature control using cooling water is vital for thermal stability. Unfortunately, components like pumps and fluid couplings generate flow disturbances, resulting in mechanical vibrations that influence the performance of the system. This research focusses on the...master thesis 2023

Muhammad Abrar Aulia, Abrar (author)The offshore monopile decommissioning demand will become definite in the coming years. Our responsibility is to ensure the rights and duties of other legitimate uses by completely removing the ageing monopile from the seabed to continuously redeveloping offshore wind farms within the same location. The growing number of past, present, and future...master thesis 2023

Kalaichelvi Senthil Kumar, Ganesh ShriRaam (author)Given the desire to construct more structures using sustainable building materials, demand for wood and other bio-based building materials has risen dramatically over the decade. While timber itself is a carbon-neutral material and can sometimes even be carbon-negative, reusing wooden structural members made that have been in service for several...master thesis 2023

Makris, K. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens-Meyer, François H.L.R. (author), Watts, Joanna (author), Begum, Hasina (author), Horoshenkov, Kirill V. (author)This article explores the potential of vibro-acoustics to detect physical ageing of plastic pipes. For this purpose, two different topics are combined: the ability of vibro-acoustics to estimate the storage modulus of a plastic pipe, and the sensitivity of the estimated storage modulus to changes due to ageing. Concerning the first topic, a...journal article 2023

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

Van de Kreeke, N. (author), Aslan, Y. (author), Onat, N.B. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The effects of multipath on the statistical cell-edge user service quality is for the first time investigated for mm-wave multi-user communication systems. The focus is given on setting the user spacing constraints and the transmit array topology via thinning, which can be used to enhance wireless security or decrease analog/digital complexity....conference paper 2023

Reinicke, Christian (author), Dukalski, Marcin (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Minimum-phase properties are well-understood for scalar functions where they can be used as physical constraint for phase reconstruction. Existing scalar applications of the latter in geophysics include, for example the reconstruction of transmission from acoustic reflection data, or multiple elimination via the augmented acoustic Marchenko...journal article 2023

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Dukalski, Marcin (author), Reinicke, Christian (author), Snieder, Roel (author)Many seismic imaging methods use wavefield extrapolation operators to redatum sources and receivers from the surface into the subsurface. We discuss wavefield extrapolation operators that account for internal multiple reflections, in particular propagator matrices, transfer matrices and Marchenko focusing functions. A propagator matrix is a...journal article 2023

Do, Phuong Chinh (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The material point method (MPM) is gaining an increasing amount of attention due to its capacity to solve geotechnical problems involving large deformations. Large deformations in geotechnics usually involve the failure process and therefore dynamic analyses are often carried out. However, simulating the (infinite) continuous domain using...conference paper 2023

Bolhuis, Thirza (author)Layman Summary<br/>The goal of this paper is to study how waves move over a fluid in with an underlying current. Oceans displace debris and heat. Ocean models can be used to predict the movement of debris and even predict the effect of the movements of oceans on the climate. Modeling water can be improved by introducing more information from...bachelor thesis 2022

de Vlam, Valérie (author)Vibrotactile wearable devices are a non-intrusive and inexpensive means to provide haptic feedback directly on the user’s skin. These devices utilize one or multiple vibrotactile actuators to generate vibrations across the skin and into the tissue. Combining these vibrations in amplitude can create the illusion of a funneled sensation on the...master thesis 2022

de Koster, P.B.J. (author), Brühl, M. (author), Wahls, S. (author)We propose a novel method to determine the average water depth from shallow, weakly nonlinear water waves that are approximated by the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our identification method only requires free-surface measurements from two wave gauges aligned in the direction of wave propagation. The method we propose is based on comparing...conference paper 2022

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Fennis, Sonja A.A.M. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)Acoustic emission (AE) signal parameters can be used to classify the source type in concrete structures. However, signal parameters are influenced by the wave propagation from the source to the receiver, leading to wrong source classification results, especially for monitoring large concrete structures. This paper experimentally evaluates the...journal article 2022

Sánchez Gómez, S. (author), Tsetas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In this paper, the energy flux in a pile modeled as an elastic shell, is studied theoretically and experimentally. Based on this analysis, a new procedure is proposed to quantify the pile installation efficiency. This procedure is of importance for vibratory installation of the foundations of offshore wind turbines and it is believed to be...journal article 2022

(author)By solving a Marchenko equation, Green’s functions at an arbitrary (inner) depth level inside an unknown elastic layered medium can be retrieved from single-sided reflection data, which are collected at the top of the medium. To date, it has only been possible to obtain an exact solution if the medium obeyed stringent monotonicity conditions and...journal article 2022

Ouali, Mouad (author)The Dutch infrastructure counts many bridges, the majority of which are built in concrete. These bridges have been designed and constructed according to safety codes. A lot of these bridges date from the previous century and have been designed conform outdated safety codes. Therefore, the main problem<br/>of these bridges is the uncertainty with...master thesis 2021

Sabbadini, A. (author)Diastolic heart failure is one of the principal causes of death in Western countries, and there is currently no treatment available; prevention, on the other hand, may be possible, provided an early enough diagnosis. The worsening of diastolic functionality is associated with increased values of cardiac stiffness, which could therefore provide a...doctoral thesis 2021

(author)A singular rail or wheel surface irregularity, such as a squat, insulation joint or wheel flat, can cause large wheelrail impact force. Both the magnitude and frequency content of the impact force need to be correctly modelledbecause they are closely related to the formation, deterioration and detection of such irregularities. In this paper,we...journal article 2021
