Structural and load parameter estimation of a real-world reinforced concrete slab bridge using measurements and Bayesian statistics

This paper describes a static diagnostic load testing and measurement campaign of a reinforced concrete road bridge in Amsterdam. We consider 29 vertical translation sensors and 37 strain sensors. Multiple Bayesian parameter estima tions are performed to estimate two structural and two load parameters of a three-dimensional finite element (FE)...

Frequency Response Based Multivariable Feedback Control Design for Transient RCCI Engine Operation

Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) is a high efficient, pre-mixed combustion concept, which is characterized by controlled auto-ignition. RCCI control has to guarantee stable and safe operation for varying operating conditions. Research concentrated on next-cycle fuel path control, so far. However, a crucial step towards on-road...

Parallel fast-array recursive least squares filters for active noise control with on-line system identification

On physical and data driven modelling of irrigation channels

In this paper we test the St. Venant equations against real data in order to examine their accuracy and capability to describe the relevant dynamics of an irrigation channel. The St. Venant equations are simulated using the Preissmann scheme, and the simulated and real measured water levels are compared. Some of the parameters in the St. Venant...

On-line calorific value sensor and validation of dynamic models applied to municipal solid waste combustion

This paper deals with two aspects concerning the optimization of municipal solid waste combustion (MSWC) processes. First of all, an on-line calorific value sensor is discussed by means of which the calorific value of the waste can be estimated from actual process data. Experimental results on a MSWC process are discussed which show that the...
