Because of the growing presence of artificial intelligence, developers are looking for more efficient methods to construct machine learning algorithms. Program synthesizers allow us to produce algorithms consisting of scalers, feature selection and classifiers. Each of these pipelines is a potential solution to the given machine learning task....

The aviation industry faces the challenge of reducing its climate eects. This paper aims to determine whether optimizing flight trajectories can reduce the environmental impact of aircraft during the climb and descent phases. It addresses the research gap in sustainable flight trajectory optimization by combining state-of-the-art research on...

Healthcare systems worldwide rely heavily on the efficient allocation of caregivers in home- based care. Despite this, to this day, the majority of home healthcare (HHC) organisations plan their operations manually, an extremely time-consuming and labour-intensive task yielding sub-optimal solutions. Research efforts in the operations research ...

The online supermarket Picnic uses the volume of groceries to pack them into totes and bags. While this generally works well, there are cases in which an article's volume fits into a designated space, but its dimensions do not. To prevent this so-called overflow, Picnic uses a maximum fill rate of 85%, which means that no tote can be filled to...

Program synthesis is used in various ways to automate repetitive tasks or to generate software automatically. Search-based program synthesis constitutes searching the space of candidate programs created from a given language. However, this form of program synthesis is very expensive in terms of computing power. By optimising the synthesiser’s...

Maintenance is a necessary measure to keep the asset, in this case a road network, in good condition. Spending too much on maintenance is clearly not efficient, while not spending enough may cause the condition to drop below a desired value; moreover, it will almost always cost more to correct the emerging damages afterwards. <br/>In this report...

A Low-Pressure Micro-resistojet (LPM) is a type of in-space electrothermal propulsion system for satellites that works by heating low-pressure (50 to 300 Pa) fluid flowing through microchannels/slots (typically &lt;1 mm diameter) using resistive heating elements like thin-film Molybdenum. This thesis delineates a response surface based method to...

Nguyen, Thy Anh (author)
A new approach is proposed which uses concepts of both the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM) to analyse slope stability. The main limitation of the LEM is that it can give an incorrect display of the initial stresses. The FEM is able to overcome this limitation, however, it uses the shear strength reduction method ...

The need for proper fast charging infrastructures is one of the key challenges for the wide adoption of elec- trical vehicles (EV). The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) together with high demand tariffs can cause monthly DSO demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station’s electric bill. Therefore,...

The thesis proposes a methodology for a Surrogate Based Optimisation (SBO) study and its application in the Naval Architecture field using the open-source software DAKOTA. Surrogate Based Optimisation is a useful and powerful way of reducing time and costs in hull shape optimisation. It allows the employ of exploratory data analysis techniques...

In this thesis a design optimisation framework was developed, with the aim of reducing the cord usage in TANIQ’s Large Bore Hose product family. To decrease the finite element analysis time, an axisymmetric finite element model was developed using ABAQUS’s rebar method, where the directional cord properties are smeared in hoop direction. The two...

This thesis focuses on the development of a computational model for early-stage design decision support of naturally ventilated terminal structures. The model is developed in a parametric Rhino Grasshopper environment paired with Python coding and CFD analyses through OpenFOAM. Optimization of air distribution parameters is performed with...

Datacenter infrastructure has become vital for stakeholders across industry, academia and government. To operate efficiently, datacenter operators rely on a variety of complex scheduling techniques, to distribute user workloads across resources. In this work, we leverage a reference architecture for datacenter scheduling to design and implement...

A high drop-out rate is present during current-day air traffic controller (ATCo) training, because the required expertise level is not reached. The determination of the expertise level of ATCo students is currently performed using subjective assessments at a late stage in the training by means of high-fidelity simulator sessions. It is desired...

Over 450 oil platforms need to be removed from the North Sea in the next decade. Each of these platforms is custom designed for installation and service lifetime, but not for decommissioning. Allseas' Pioneering Spirit is the largest heavy lift vessel in the world, capable of lifting complete topsides in a single-lift operation. The vessel’s...

Remote areas throughout the world often face great difficulties with regards to a cost-effective production of electricity and drinking water. To date, it is mostly done by means of diesel generators which are however subject to volatile market prices, high operational cost, logistical supply problems and environmental concerns. Stand-alone...

Increasing demands for mobile internet access have led to exponential developments in mobile communications technologies. The next generation mobile technology is expected to exploit electronic beam steering and to have a higher operating frequency to facilitate a higher bandwidth. This places a heavy burden on the base station antenna arrays,...
