Wave-based Inspection for Damage Evaluation in structurally-Advanced composites. KU Leuven
Guided waves are recognized as one of the most promising techniques for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), as they provide reliable, long-range and highly sensitive damage inspection capabilities. Progress in this field would be impactful to EU transportation, aerospace and offshore industries, where safety is crucial given the potential human, economic or environmental consequences of failures.
Despite some encouraging applications to ...
VAMOR Vibro-Acoustic Model Order Reduction KU Leuven
VAMOR contributes to a more sustainable and quieter future for Europe. Noise pollution has arisen as one of the key factors towards the degradation of the quality of life in European societies. Adding noise treatments commonly leads to an increase in mass and/or volume usage, harming the sustainability of the respective products, e.g. leading to heavier vehicles. To avoid such solutions and striving for the sustainability and optimal acoustic ...
Dynamics of the solar corona in the era of data intensive observations KU Leuven
The aim of this proposal is to establish close research collaboration between several leading European and South American research teams specialising in solar physics; and gain new, paradigm-changing knowledge about dynamic processes in the solar atmosphere, through the systematic research staff and knowledge exchange and joint research efforts exploiting existing data and facilities, including innovative data analysis techniques based on the ...
Early stage CARdio Vascular Disease Detection with Integrated Silicon Photonics Ghent University
Early identification of individuals at risk for CVD allows early intervention to halt or reverse the pathological process. This is the driver of Medtronic and partners to develop a mobile, low-cost, non-invasive, point-of-care screening device for CVD.Assessment of arterial stiffness by measurement of the aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) is included in the latest ESC/ESH guidelines for CVD risk prediction. Besides aPWV, early identification ...
