Dol, H.S. (author), Blom, K.C.H. (author), van Riet, M.W.G. (author), van de Sande, J.J.M. (author)Stand-off mine countermeasure (MCM) operations with unmanned systems frequently require user involvement for the interpretation of image data, for classification and identification, and for decision-making during mine disposal. As the transfer of image data usually requires tethering, this leads to cumbersome operating procedures. We have...conference paper 2022

(author)The semiconductor industry needs to fit ever more devices per unit area to improve their performance; hence a trend towards increasingly complex structures by varying material combinations and 3D geometries with increasing aspect ratios. The new materials used may be optically opaque, posing problems for traditional optical metrology methods....conference paper 2022

Blom, K.C.H. (author), Dol, H.S. (author), Berning, F. (author), van Walree, P.A. (author)For underwater acoustic modems to operate in a time-varying environment, in-mission adaptation is desirable. A physical layer has been designed that supports mechanisms for ad-hoc configuration changes based on (in-situ and indirectly obtained) channel and noise conditions. Coded preambles are used to instruct the receiver of a configuration...conference paper 2022

van Walree, P.A. (author), Colin, M.E.G.D. (author)A channel sounding and communications experiment was performed in the Oslofjord, using eight bottom-mounted instrument units deployed in a network configuration. Five units were equipped with a software-defined 4–8-kHz acoustic modem, programmed to transmit probe signals and communication packets in a round-robin fashion. All transmitted...article 2022

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

Kotti, S.E. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)The use of wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) has received increased attention over the last decade. The advantages of WASNs over stand-alone multi-microphone devices are that the microphone array is not anymore limited by the dimensions of a single device, and that microphones can be placed at arbitrary locations. One of the...conference paper 2021

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Current ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters consist of a pair of single-element transducers which are carefully positioned before use. This positioning process consists of manually finding the distance between the transducer elements, along the pipe axis, for which maximum SNR is achieved. This distance depends on the sound speed, thickness and...article 2021

(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

To improve the acoustic quality of open-plan study environments a study was done on the influence of different sound scenarios on students working on a typical student task, “studying for an exam”. Three sound scenarios and a quiet reference sound...article 2021

(author)Several methods are being researched to detect and characterize buried nanoscale structures in hard solid samples. The most common acoustic method is acoustic microscopy. An acoustic microscope is based on a single element transducer operating in pulse-echo mode. The acoustic waves are coupled into a sample using a liquid couplant (eg water) and...article 2021

Müller, R.A.J. (author), von Benda-Beckmann, A.M. (author), Halvorsen, M.B. (author), Ainslie, M.A. (author)Regulations for underwater anthropogenic noise are typically formulated in terms of peak sound pressure, root-mean-square sound pressure, and (weighted or unweighted) sound exposure. Sound effect studies on humans and other terrestrial mammals suggest that in addition to these metrics, the impulsiveness of sound (often quantified by its kurtosis...article 2020

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
