C14/20/073: Model order reduction techniques for the prediction of railway induced vibration in the built environment KU Leuven
The study of traffic induced vibration in the built environment resulted in the development of coupled finite element-boundary element (FE-BE) models that account for dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI). These models are used to design vibration mitigation measures and to perform environmental impact studies. Parametric studies, performance optimization, or stochastic analysis, however, increase the dimension of the problem and ...

Model Order Reduction Techniques for the Prediction of Railway Induced Vibration in the Built Environment KU Leuven
Development of a PGD-based finite element formulation for track-soil interaction, resulting in a computational vademecum that can be used for parametric and stochastic analysis. Development of PGD-based methods to solve dynamic SSI problems at the source and the receiver.
Development of model order reduction techniques for mechatronic system models in inverse problems. KU Leuven
Mechatronic models are developed in the design stage to describe and further improve the performance of systems. These models tend to cause difficulties with respect to numerical modelling and simulation due to (1) a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs), (2) strongly coupled non-linear equations, (3) a wide frequency difference between the dominant behaviour of the different physical domains and (4) strongly non-linear parametric ...
Optimal design of mitigation measures for railway induced vibration in buildings using model order reduction techniques KU Leuven
The study of traffic induced vibration in the built environment resulted in the development of coupled finite element (FE-BE) models that account for the dynamic soil-structure interaction. These models are for example used to design vibration mitigation measures. Parametric studies, performance optimisation and stochastic analysis increase the dimension of the problem and necessitate faster and more efficient calculations. In this PhD ...
Novel Reduction Techniques for Exterior Vibro-acoustic Models and their use in Model-based Sensing and Identification KU Leuven
The physical interaction between vibrating structures and acoustics is of paramount importance in modern society. It is encountered in many products of daily use, such as vehicles, home appliances, and musical instruments but also in industrial environments, such as an assembly line in a factory. On the one hand, sound can be considered pleasant or useful in the context of music or communication. On the other hand, undesired sound, or noise, ...
Housing techniques and management tools for ammonia and odour emission reduction in the Flemish pig husbandry (CAEH - Control of Air quality and Emissions at animal Houses) Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Flanders needs efficient and affordable techniques to reduce ammonia and odor emissions from piggeries. This research project aims to develop such techniques and to help implementing these in the pig fattening industry. In addition to individual techniques, the focus is also on the efficiency of technique combinations and their applicability for different farm types. Finally, testing platforms ...
Reduction of Operational Carbon Footprint of Wireless Networks through Lean Transmission Techniques KU Leuven
This PhD thesis will focus on the development of solutions to improve the energy efficiency of cell-free massive MIMO wireless communication systems. Cell-free massive MIMO uses distributed antenna arrays to overcome several limits of the common cellular networks. In this dissertation, novel signal processing algorithms will be developed under realistic hardware constraints, e.g., using advanced models for the consumption of power amplifiers ...
