Evaluation of the quasi-steady-state method for the assessment of energy use in school buildings KU Leuven
Since the implementation of the European Directive 2002/91/EC on the Energy Performance of Buildings the number of very low energy and passive non-residential buildings has increased significantly. In Flanders (Belgium), the evolution towards more energy efficient schools in particular was encouraged by the approval and subsidizing of 24 passive pilot schools. Steady-state calculation tools source are generally used for the energy ...

Variations on Component-by-Component Construction Algorithms of Lattice Rules KU Leuven
In the conducted research we develop efficient algorithms for constructing node sets of high-quality quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods which can be used for approximating high-dimensional integrals of multivariate functions. In particular, we study the construction of rank-1 lattice rules and polynomial lattice rules, which are both specified by a generating vector, for numerical integration in weighted function spaces such as Korobov, Sobolev ...

Multi-scale analysis of lean duplex stainless steel structures. KU Leuven
Stainless steel combines high mechanical properties with excellent corrosion resistance, making it an appealing choice for load-bearing elements in civil engineering, greatly reducing maintenance for structures in aggressive environments, such as coastal areas. The nonlinear stress strain curve, high strain hardening at relatively low strains and the differences in residual stresses for welded specimens compared to carbon steel necessitate ...
