Sabbatical Geert Degrande: Quantifying uncertainty for railway induced vibration KU Leuven
I submitted a Research Proposal entitled “Quantifying uncertainty for railway induced vibration” to the Honorary and Visiting Fellowships Committee of Peterhouse in Cambridge and was elected as Visiting Fellow at Peterhouse for the Michaelmas Term 2021. Due to restrictions imposed by the covid-19 pandemic, this stay is postponed to the Michaelmas Term 2022. During my stay at Peterhouse and the Department of Engineering of the University of ...
Mitigation of railway induced vibration using seismic metamaterials KU Leuven
Railways are a sustainable and climate-friendly means of transport, but vibration remains an environmental concern. We will investigate if seismic metamaterials installed on the propagation path between tracks and buildings can efficiently mitigate railway-induced vibration. Seismic metamaterials are artificially engineered composite materials consisting of an arrangement of cells that are installed on the surface or embedded in the soil; ...

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 ...

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 ...
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.
