Bieber, M.T. (author)Spacecraft and aircraft systems collect health-related data continuously, which can give an indication of the systems' health status. While they rarely occur, the repercussions of such system anomalies, faults, or failures can be severe, safety-critical and costly. Therefore, the data are used to anticipate any kind of anomalous behaviour or...doctoral thesis 2023

Fiaschi, N. (author)Quantum communication refers to the field of science that studies the ability to connect separated quantum devices via coherent channels, i.e. via buses that maintain coherently the information encoded. The importance of the task is on multiple levels: from secure communications to scaling quantum computers. The first one can be of fundamental...doctoral thesis 2023

Psychas, D.V. (author)Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) modelling and processing method that provides single-receiver users with high positioning accuracy anywhere on the globe, without the explicit dependence on reference receivers. The realization of PPP is based on undifferenced code and phase measurements, a priori...doctoral thesis 2022

Ebrahimi Fard, A. (author), Mercuur, R.A. (author), Dignum, M.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)Rumour is a collective emergent phenomenon with a potential for provoking a crisis. Modelling approaches have been deployed since five decades ago; however, the focus was mostly on epidemic behaviour of the rumours which does not take into account the differences between agents. We use social practice theory to model agent decision-making in...conference paper 2020

Dhanisetty, V.S.V. (author)There is a growth in the use of composites for the new generation of wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350. This shift from using aluminium as the primary material is motivated by the benefits of using composites in design, manufacturing and operations. Composites offer the aircraft manufacturer the ability to create more...doctoral thesis 2019

Noardo, F. (author)The relationship between the cultural value of architectural heritage and its spatial features is straightforward. Digital 3D models are very effective to store such information, which can be further enhanced through the management in 3D information systems. Mainly two approaches are proposed by literature, notwithstanding the still existing...conference paper 2019

Newcamp, Jeffrey (author)The purpose of this work is as follows. Military aircraft are enormous investments for a nation. The systems lifecycle for aircraft spans decades wherein aging effects increase maintenance and operations costs over time. At some point, the deterioration of a fleet of aircraft erodes the capability of those assets below an acceptable threshold,...doctoral thesis 2018

Peters, D.J. (author)Revetment systems prevent erosion of dikes. The systems need to be stable under wave attack. The size and the weight of revetment elements is the main contribution to their stability. Pattern-placed revetments consist of relatively small blocks or column-shaped natural stones or concrete elements, placed in a regular grid. The pattern creates a...doctoral thesis 2017

Khuong, T.C. (author)An accurate prediction of shoreline changes behind detached breakwaters is, in regard to the adjustment to the environmental impact, still a challenge for designers and coastal managers. This research is expected to fill the gaps in the estimation of shoreline changes by developing new and generalized relationships of the shoreline changes to...doctoral thesis 2016

Zhao, X. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)The present study develops a method for the sake of evaluating Disposal and Recycle (D&R) cost in view of the increasing demand in aircraft retirement. Firstly, a process model is extracted. The subordinated cost elements are also identified. Next, the cost aggregations based on the D&R process steps are discussed. Moreover, it proposes...book chapter 2016

Koornneef, H. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Currently, task support information in aircraft maintenance is mostly provided using paper-based solutions, which are burdensome, slow and prone to error. Aircraft maintenance documentation contains vast amounts of information irrelevant for the task at hand and even for the simplest tasks multiple documents need to be consulted. Next to these...book chapter 2016

Balkenende, R. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Sustainability of electronic products until recently mainly focused on improving the energy efficiency. Recently, resource efficiency has become of growing importance. Due to the use of relatively small amounts of many valuable and scarce materials, often intimately mixed, the design of electronic products deserves specific attention. From a...conference paper 2015

Buist, P.J. (author)There is trend in spacecraft engineering toward distributed systems where a number of smaller spacecraft work as a larger satellite. However, in order to make the small satellites work together as a single large platform, the precise relative positions (baseline) and orientations (attitude) of the elements of the formation have to be estimated....doctoral thesis 2013

Piontkowitz, T. (author)A large number of the dikes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions are covered with grass that is exposed to hydraulic loading from waves and currents during storm surges. During previous storm surges the grass cover layers often showed large strength and remained undamaged. A clear physical understanding of the failure of grass cover layers...report 2009
