Model order reduction techniques for the prediction of railway induced vibration in the built environment KU Leuven
Explicit and Implicit Tensor Decomposition-based Algorithms and Applications KU Leuven
Various real-life data such as time series and multi-sensor recordings can be represented by vectors and matrices, which are one-way and two-way arrays of numerical values, respectively. Valuable information can be extracted from these measured data matrices by means of matrix factorizations in a broad range of applications within signal processing, data mining, and machine learning. While matrix-based methods are powerful and well-known ...
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 ...
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 ...

Tensor-based study of data similarity. KU Leuven
Higher-order tensors are the natural generalizations of vectors (first order) and matrices (second order). Blind signal separation consists of the estimation of signals that are observed in mixed form. Blind system identification is the identification of a dynamical system from output observations only. Tensor decompositions have properties that make them proper tools for these generic problems. In this project we make the ...
Quantitative use of the Ultrasonic Polar Scan: Characterization of anisotropic visco-elasticity and damage in solids. KU Leuven
Advances in material science and engineering have always been a key factor in any kind of progress made at the industrial scene. The drive towards novel, lighter and stronger materials, for instance, empowered companies to construct the highly efficient airplanes and automobiles as we know them today. One of the main protagonist in this development is the initiation and subsequent investigation of composite (and multilayered) materials, such ...
New insights in the control of pear scab: a necessary step forward towards a global control (NOVOSCAB) KU Leuven
Context The scab fungus, Venturia pirina, is one of the key parasites in pear cultivation, both in integrated (IPM) and organic farming. Under favorable weather conditions for the pathogen, if no control measures are taken, the entire harvest can be completely affected in one season. In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on sustainable agriculture. Chemical crop protection agents are under pressure, such as copper and ...
