Abstract

Autonomous underwater navigation remains, as of today, a challenging task. The marine environment limits the number of sensors available for precise localization, hence Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) usually rely on inertial and velocity sensors to obtain
an estimate [...]

Abstract

Within Clean Sky 2 the design and manufacturing of the fuselage of new single aisle aircraft is investigated through a large, multi-functional fuselage demonstrator, see Figure 1. The main objectives of this demonstrator are to enable high production rates with a minimum of 60 [...]

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to investigate the radar absorption of honeycombs and foldcores with printed conductive patterns. These structures can be manufactured by first printing conductive Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) on planar substrates, which then can be used to shape [...]

Abstract

The numerical simulation of multiphase flows presents several challenges, namely the transport of different phases within de domain and the inclusion of capillary effects. Here, these are approached by enforcing a discrete physics-compatible solution. Extending our previous work on [...]

Abstract

The objective of this monograph is the derivation and implementation of a robust Finite Element formulation for the solution of solid-pore fluid coupled problems in multi-fractured porous media.

A coupled displacement-pore pressure FEM formulation for solving solid-pore [...]

Abstract

The present work aims to define formally the method termed as \textit{``Idealized Smeared Reinforcement'' (ISR)} for optimization in the design of reinforcing steel in concrete structures, [...]				

Abstract

Does consideration of average speed distributions on roads-as compared to single mean speed-lead to different results in emission modelling of large road networks? To address this question, a post-processing method is developed to predict mean speed distributions using available traffic [...]
