Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)This paper focuses on extensive numerical and experimental investigations of a thin sandwich acoustic source. Due to an energy inefficient actuation design, a thin sandwich acoustic source that was proposed in an early study is redesigned and reconstructed in the current research. The thin acoustic source in the present paper is actuated by long...article 2020

Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)This paper studies an acoustic source with a relatively small thickness and a high bending stiffness. The acoustic source operates in the low frequency, quasi-static regime. The focus of the current study is on the actuation part in order to design an appropriate excitation mechanism. A flexural mechanism is modeled in combination with a...article 2020

Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)This paper studies an acoustic source with a relatively small thickness and high bending stiffness. Piezoelectric actuators are used to drive the moving component of the acoustic source. In the current study, a lumped model is used to represent the acoustic source that is excited by a piezoelectric stacked actuator. The equivalent electrical...conference paper 2018

Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)This paper studies a lumped model of an acoustic source with a relatively small thickness and high bending stiffness. Voice coil and piezoelectric actuators are used to drive moving components of the acoustic source. Feedback and feedforward damping control techniques are used to actively obtain a smooth frequency response, especially at low...conference paper 2017

Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)The present work describes the electrical, mechanical and acoustical behavior of a thin honey-comb structure as an acoustic source. The acoustic source has to operate in the low frequency, quasi-static regime and is driven by a piezoelectric stack actuator. In addition, a two-way energy flow between the actuator and a connected amplifier is...conference paper 2016

(author)Het beheer en onderhoud van constructies in bouw en infra kan efficiënter. RFID-chips, voorzien van sensoren en zenders, kunnen bijvoorbeeld continu gegevens over de onderhoudstoestand van betonconstructies naar de beheerder sturen. Ook kunnen de chips worden gebruikt voor het lokaliseren en identificeren van bouwdelen. Daarmee wordt de...report 2014

(author)Phased-Arrays are increasingly used, and require Silicon implementations to result in affordable multi-beam systems. In this paper, CMOS implementations of two novel analogue beamforming multi-channel receivers will be presented. A narrow-band highly linear system exploiting switches and capacitors in advanced CMOS is presented, implementing a...conference paper 2012

Dieteren, G.G.A. (author), de Boer, A. (author), Walraven, J. (author)Het proefbelasten van bruggen is een methode om te bepalen of de constructie de rekenkundige belasting kan dragen. Dit is van belang voor oudere constructies waarvan de draagkracht onbekend is, of die inmiddels aan een grotere belasting worden onderworpen dan waarvoor zij oorspronkelijk zijn ontworpen. Proefbelasten mag echter niet leiden tot...article 2012

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), de Boer, A. (author), van der Veen, C. (author)The assessment of the structural safety of existing bridges and viaducts becomes increasingly important in many countries due to the age of the structures and an increase in traffic loads. Many structures need to be reassessed in order to find out whether the safety requirements are met. Most existing standards, however, are developed for the...article 2012

Yang, Y. (author), den Uijl, J. (author), Dieteren, G. (author), de Boer, A. (author)A relatively low direct tensile strength is observed in cores drilled from old bridges in the Netherlands. To check whether this will influence the shear capacity of the bridges, beams sawn from a bridge deck built in 1961 were tested under shear loading in the Stevin laboratory at TU Delft. The flexural capacity of the beams was increased by...conference paper 2010
