van der Eerden, F. (author), van den Berg, F. (author), van Heijningen, A. (author)Noise contours around military training areas are calculated by using: a) the measured source strength for the impulsive sources and b) the calculated sound propagation using a representative set of meteorological situations. For high-energy impulsive sounds the source strength is measured at distances beyond 100 meters, where peak levels are...conference paper 2022

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Acoustic wave propagation in ultrasonic flow measurements is typically assumed to be linear and reciprocal.However, if the transmitting transducer generates a sufficiently high pressure, nonlinear wave propagation effects become significant. In flow measurements, this would translate into more information to estimate the flow and therefore a...article 2021

Bosschaart, C. (author)The Royal Netherlands Navy operates a low-frequency active sonar consisting of a combination of a towed sonar source and receiver array in order to detect and classify objects underwater. The operation involves transmitting high power underwater sound towards an object and detecting the echo reflected by the object. Operating a towed source at...conference paper 2019

Verdel, A. (author), van Haeringen, D. (author), Vandeweijer, V. (author), Carpentier, S. (author), Meekes, S. (author)We demonstrate in this geothermal exploration case study performed in The Netherlands that ambient noise seismic interferometry (ANSI) can be an effective and efficient method for obtaining surface wave dispersion curves, leading to shallow shear-wave velocity-depth profiles that can improve imaging of deep structures. As the ANSI method...conference paper 2019

van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author), van den Berg, F.H.A. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author), Kruyen, A.H.J. (author)The use of combining sound measurements and sound propagation modelling is increasing. In this paper the acoustic situation on and around a shooting range is considered. A monitoring system that automatically detects and localizes impulsive sound events is presented. The locations of these events are obtained by combining detections from...conference paper 2018

von Benda-Beckmann, A.M. (author), Thomas, L. (author), Tyack, P.L. (author), Ainslie, M.A. (author)Passive acoustic monitoring with widely-dispersed hydrophones has been suggested as a cost-effective method to monitor population densities of echolocating marine mammals. This requires an estimate of the area around each receiver over which vocalizations are detected - the "effective detection area" (EDA). In the absence of auxiliary...article 2018

(author)Interaction of ultrasonic waves with partially-closed surface-breaking cracks in concrete structures has been studied. Measurements have been conducted on a reinforced concrete beam containing various mechanical-load-induced cracks and compared with the baseline measurements at those locations. Influence of crack width, incident angle of waves...article 2018

Analysis of underwater acoustic propagation in a harbour environment and its effect on communicationBinnerts, B. (author), Blom, K.C.H. (author), Giodini, S. (author)Acoustic underwater communication is an enabler for the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). AUVs can operate in acoustically challenging environments, e.g., near offshore platforms and in harbours. To realize robust underwater communication in such environments, the propagation conditions need to be properly understood. In this paper,...conference paper 2017

Golliard, J. (author), Belfroid, S.P.C. (author), Vijlbrief, O. (author), Lunde, K. (author)The flow-induced pulsations in corrugated pipes result from a feedback loop between an acoustic resonator and the noise amplification at each shear layer in the axisymmetric cavities forming the corrugations. The quality factor of the resonator is determined by the reflection coefficients at the ends of the corrugated pipe and by the damping in...conference paper 2015
