Truck Arrival Shift Policy for Port-Hinterland Alignment at the port of Rotterdam: Design, Modelling, and Simulation Approach

This thesis proposes a truck arrival shift (TAS) policy to control truck arrivals at seaport terminals. The aim is to reduce congestion at terminal gates which is caused by a lack of port-hinterland alignment. We proposed, developed, and applied a modeling framework to assesses the impact of the TAS policy for the use case of the Port of...

Puerto San Vicente, Chile: Evaluation of a Port Expansion

This report is written with the aim to evaluate a possible port expansion in the port of San Vicente, Chile. In order to achieve this a thorough analysis on the port operations, hydrodynamical analysis using Delft3D and a bottleneck analysis on the infrastructure have been executed. A preliminary design for the port expansion is created. This...

Flexible Riser Fatigue Analysis: Studying Conservatism in Flexible Riser Fatigue Analysis and Development of an Engineering Model to Study Influencing Parameters of Local Wire Stress

First, the focus of a literature review was on industry visions and fatigue life assessments. Hence fatigue analysis methodology —with a special focus on local modelling— was thoroughly investigated because this is the Shell and industry accepted method to define and assess fatigue life. Secondly, a new strategy was developed to stretch the...

Aanpassing van een partieel vernet copolymeer voor tonergebruik

In samenwerking met Rank Xerox is onderzoek gedaan naar een nieuwe polymeerformulering voor tonerpoeders. Er zijn in het verleden twintig nieuwe polymeren bereid, die bestaan uit een copolymeer van styreen en n-butylmethacrylaat, dat vernet is met behulp van divinylbenzeen. Uit deze twintig terpolymeren zijn twee polymeren geselecteerd, die qua...
