After the financial crisis, the standards for the valuation of financial derivatives were reviewed and several adjustments were made to these valuations, of which Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) is the most important one. CVA represents the price of counterparty credit risk that should be added to the default-free fair price of a financial...

When trains are not actively traveling on the main rail network, they to be parked and prepared for their next journey. This is a complex problem, involving several interconnected subproblems. Additionally, there is uncertainty in this environment which can render initial plans infeasible during their execution. To ensure trains are able to...

A flight termination system (FTS) is one of the most important safety features on a launch vehicle, as it allows for the vehicle's flight to be terminated in a controlled way when predetermined safety criteria or boundaries are exceeded. Currently, T-Minus Engineering B.V. aims to develop a custom flight termination system for the Dart payload...

Risk-based and probabilistic reliability design methods are starting to be integrated into the daily geotechnical engineering practice, as shown by the current draft of EN1997 (Eurocode 7), which explicitly allows Reliability-based verification of limit states. The semi-probabilistic design methods in EN1997 are a compromise between ease of use...

Quantum decoherence is one of the most substantial challenges on the way to fullyfledged quantum technology. Noise mitigation based on dynamical control techniques, aside from error correction, is known to be another effective approach to protect qubits from decoherence. In this thesis, we studied the dynamics of a spin qubit interacting with a...

In this research, a sustainability and cost assessment of battery health management strategies applied to Lithium batteries of an electric Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (eUAV) is performed. A mission-based strategy is proposed with the aim to elongate battery lifetime. With this strategy, the battery is charged to the estimated State of Charge (SOC)...

Hydrological models are often used to evaluate future changes in streamflow. Despite the strong aware- ness of non-stationarity in hydrological system characteristics, model parameters are often assumed stationary and obtained through calibration on past conditions. The representation of system change in hydrological models is challenging, as a...

In offshore engineering complex simulation models are constructed for design optimization using Monte Carlo methods. These models incur large computational costs. Multi-Level Multi-Fidelity Monte Carlo is proposed as a method to reduce the computational cost of these simulations. In addition, research is conducted on the use of porous media as...

The failure of composite laminates is most commonly evaluated through deterministic approaches. However, even though these traditional methods predict the failure well on average, they cannot take into account the inherent probabilistic aspect of failure mechanics. Thus, reliability methods allow for a better structural assessment and improve...

Generation of high fidelity entanglement between quantum nodes is a key component of a future quantum internet. Heralded entanglement generation of two spatially separated qubit nodes can be established by interference and measurement of two photons, each entangled with one qubit state. The two-node entanglement fidelity is limited by the degree...

This thesis is devoted to option pricing on backward-looking rates. For the last decades, interest rate products were often linked to IBOR rates. IBORs are short-term borrowing rates charged between global banks in the unsecured interbank market. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the Hull-White model to the Black-Karasinski model for the...

The crystallographic texture of a material has a direct impact on its mechanical and functional properties. As a result, texture control is an imperative part of manufacturing processes, especially those involving plastic deformation, such as rolling, which significantly impact crystallographic texture. The exact mechanisms and underlying causes...

The main challenge of radiotherapy, used for treating cancer, is to deposit the prescribed dose in the tumor volume while sparing the surrounding tissue.The depth-dose distribution of protons makes proton therapy an alternative to conventional radiotherapy for some tumor sites. A better knowledge of the proton radiobiological mechanisms can...

Although usually neglected in aerodynamics, radiation can present the main heat transfer mechanism in some aerodynamic applications and cause significant changes in the behaviour of the flow. Such applications typically include very high-temperature conditions such as hypersonic flow during reentry and hot gas in combustion systems. In these...

To exploit its socio-economic functions, engineering measures are regularly applied in estuaries. Estuaries are, however, known to be very complex systems. Stemming from this complexity is the generation of a so-called estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), which poses great siltation problems to the engineering measures. An engineering measure,...

Evolution of coastline position under the influence of natural and anthropogenic processes is directly linked to the development of seaside societies. In the context of coastal zone management, process-based morphodynamic models are often used topredict coastline evolution and support the decision-making process...

This report, which from now and onwards will be called the main body of the thesis, covers the core of the<br/>problem that has to be solved. Generally, the aim of this thesis is to investigate a laminated composite’s<br/>structural response, made of FRP, when its material properties are assumed stochastic instead of<br/>deterministic. The...
