An analytical relation between the Weibull and Basquin laws for smooth and notched specimens and application to constant amplitude fatigue Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Starting from the classical definition of stress-life Wöhler curve in the form of the Basquin law, an analytical procedure for the calibration of the four parameters' Wöhler curve (the Weibull law) for a plain specimen is proposed. The obtained parameters are then adjusted by means of an additional slope factor preserving the inflection point of the curve while changing its slope in order to model the experimental observations in which an ...

Real-Life Mission Profile Oriented Lifetime Estimation of a SiC Interleaved Bidirectional HV DC/DC Converter for Electric Vehicle Drivetrains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The rapid growth of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in the automotive field has led to a need for improving their drivetrain performance, mainly focusing on the extension of the battery operating range. However, the majority of performed technical assessments only consider battery SoC and depth of discharge while neglecting the effects on lifetime and failure probability of power electronic components, more specifically the emerging ...

Real-time parameter estimation of Zika outbreaks using model averaging Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Early prediction of the final size of any epidemic and in particular for Zika disease outbreaks can be useful for health authorities in order to plan the response to the outbreak. The Richards model is often been used to estimate epidemiological parameters for arboviral diseases based on the reported cumulative cases in single-and multi-wave outbreaks. However, other non-linear models can also fit the data as well. Typically, one follows the ...
