Kortenbout, A.J. (author), Costerus, Sophie (author), Dudink, Jeroen (author), de Jong, N. (author), de Graaff, Jurgen C. (author), Vos, H.J. (author), Bosch, Johan G. (author)Objective: Post-operative brain injury in neonates may result from disturbed cerebral perfusion, but accurate peri-operative monitoring is lacking. High-frame-rate (HFR) cerebral ultrasound could visualize and quantify flow in all detectable vessels using spectral Doppler; however, automated quantification in small vessels is challenging...journal article 2024

Gu, Junhong (author), Stumpf, Martin (author), Neto, A. (author), Lager, I.E. (author)A strictly causal numerical study of the pulsed operation of a weakly dispersive, leaky wave (LW) antenna is presented. The intricacies at the forefront of the electromagnetic (EM) field radiated from a gap-fed slot in a perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) sheet are evidenced for the first time. The radical effect of a free-space gap...journal article 2024

van Damme, M. (author), den Ouden-van der Horst, D. (author)Methods have been developed to predict how hydrodynamic loads acting on nearly saturated porous media are transmitted to the subsoil. In line with the effective stress principle of Terzaghi, these methods apply the boundary conditions that the effective stresses at the surface of a porous medium are zero, and that the pore water pressures...journal article 2024

Li, Tianzhi (author), Chen, Jian (author), Yuan, Shenfang (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Sbarufatti, Claudio (author), Cadini, Francesco (author)Fatigue damage prognosis always requires a degradation model describing the damage evolution with time; thus, the prognostic performance highly depends on the selection of such a model. The best model should probably be case specific, calling for the fusion of multiple degradation models for a robust prognosis. In this context, this paper...journal article 2024

Mulder, W.A. (author)To estimate the depth errors in a subsurface model obtained from the inversion of seismic data, the stationary-phase approximation in a two-dimensional constant-velocity model with a dipped reflector is applied to migration with a time-shift extension. This produces two asymptotic solutions: one is a straight line, and the other is a curve....journal article 2024

Wang, G. (author), Bar, Daniel (author), Schreier, S. (author)This study examines the potential of a new type of floating seawall, made up of retired large-scale oceangoing vessels, to be used in open water and exposed coastal areas. The main objectives of the research are to assess the effectiveness of the floating seawall concept, to determine the contribution of the gap resonance to wave attenuation,...journal article 2024

Hu, M. (author), Yue, N. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)With the improvements in computational power and advances in chip and sensor technology, the applications of machine learning (ML) technologies in structural health monitoring (SHM) are increasing rapidly. Compared with traditional methods, deep learning based SHM (Deep SHM) methods are more efficient and have a higher accuracy. However, due...journal article 2024

Raghavan, V. (author), Simonetti, Irene (author), Metrikine, A. (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Cappietti, Lorenzo (author)The Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converter has been shown to have high potential, thus rendering extensive development in recent years. In order to further accelerate its development, highly accurate yet computationally efficient tools are necessary particularly when studying the interaction of multiple OWC devices. This paper...journal article 2024

Chang, X. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author)The lack of suitable boundary conditions in practical surface wave simulations with maritime structures in current or at forward speed may cause energy in the computational domain to accumulate due to spurious wave reflection. The common way to prevent wave reflection is to use passive wave absorbers, such as damping zones or relaxation zones...journal article 2024

Jonker, R. G. (author), AlYousif, A.Y. (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Antonini, A. (author), Zoon, Arthur (author), Smith, Gregory (author)This study treats a detached homogenous low-crested structure (HLCS) made of Cubipod concrete elements placed seaward of a vertical wall (forming a basin in between) to reduce overtopping. Assessing the complex hydrodynamics and effects of changing the geometry of such a system in relation to overtopping reduction is challenging. The...journal article 2024

Shirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) retrieves the Green function between two receiver locations using their recordings from a boundary of sources. When using sources and receivers only at the surface, the virtual-source gathers retrieved by SI contain pseudo-physical reflections as well as ghost (non-physical) reflections. These ghost reflections are...journal article 2024

Vasarmidis, Panagiotis (author), Klonaris, Georgios (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author), Stratigaki, Vasiliki (author), Troch, Peter (author)Despite the increasing use of non-hydrostatic models in the study of wave processes in coastal regions, there is still limited understanding of the non-linear properties of the governing equations and how they improve with increased vertical resolution. In this study, the governing equations of the non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH are...journal article 2024
