E-mobility, in particular electric vehicles (EVs), play a crucial role in the energy transition. While businesses are increasingly adopting EVs, there is still a lot of opportunity to grow. One aspect of this growth is the way these vehicles are used by companies, especially when it comes to the logistics of EV charging. To encourage companies...

In the field of urban development few challenges are as tough as the housing problem. The cause for this is the rapid expansion of urban populations combined with slow construction processes. The Open Design Systems (Odesys) methodology is a preference-based design methodology for creating and evaluating designs. For this it uses a-priori method...

The dose computation algorithm, or dose engine, is one of the fundamental parts of radiotherapy treatment planning. These algorithms predict how the dose will be distributed inside the patient.<br/>Current dose engines are mainly based on either Monte Carlo simulations (MC) or pencil beam algorithms (PBA). MC being very precise, but relatively...

Current service and installation activities for offshore wind turbines are carried out by jack-up vessels, which eliminate wave disturbances to a large extent. The use of these vessels imposes several disadvantages, including high operational costs and the limitation of operating in restricted water depths. An alternative is a crane mounted on a...

The Global Shipping industry is responsible for transporting 90% of global commerce and is responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Addressing this, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aims to reduce GHG emissions from international shipping by 40% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050. This study explores Low...

Despite being a critical aspect in improving the building stock’s environmental performance and achieving the global environmental goals, the retrofit of traditional historic buildings is hindered by a lack of comprehensive guidelines tailored to their complex building physics and heritage preservation requirements. The conventional retrofit...

This thesis proposes an unsupervised Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) for solving optimal control problems with the direct method to design and optimize transfer trajectories. The network adheres analytically to boundary conditions and includes the objective fitness as regularization in its loss function. A test scenario of a planar Earth...

Subgraph matching is a fundamental problem in various fields such as machine learning, computer vision, image processing, and bioinformatics, where detecting specific substructures within an object is often crucial. In these domains, not only structure plays an essential role, but also the feature information on nodes should be incorporated,...

In the realm of fluid dynamics and particle transport, the control of particle trajectories represents a formidable challenge. It would be useful to be able to optimally navigate an oceanographic float from one pre-set location to another by solely changing its buoyancy. In this thesis, a first step in discovering whether this is possible and...

van der Linden, Tim (author)
With 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions originating from the built environment, the construction sector has a big responsibility to reduce global warming. The impact that structural designs have, is often calculated by simply multiplying a carbon factor with the mass of the structure. As gridshell structures feature a high number of nodes,...

The world is in a climatic crisis. Extreme weather events are stronger and more frequent than ever before, exacerbated by human induced CO2 from energy production and the built environment. Only 5% of world energy is produced by renewable energy sources, presenting an enormous gap between sustainability and greenhouse gas emitting practices....

The Real-Valued Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm (RV-GOMEA) is a state-of-the-art algorithm for single-objective, real-valued optimization. As many practical applications are inherently constrained, evolutionary algorithms are equipped with constraint handling techniques to allow optimizing constrained problems. The approach...

This thesis aims to study the design and optimization of composite wing components for aircraft, focusing on the pivotal goal of reducing weight while preserving and enhancing structural performance. This is one of the goals of the COST Action joined in the span of the thesis: CA18203 - Optimising Design for Inspection (ODIN). Within this COST...

Tatabitovska, Ana (author)
Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) is a known problem within the optimization field which has led many different solving approaches to be devised in the last several decades. From Linear Search to unsatisfiable core-based solvers, many MaxSAT algorithms rely on cardinality constraints to express how many soft clauses can be violated at most....

This research aims at quantifying the uncertainty in the predictions of tensor network constrained kernel machines, focusing on the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) constrained kernel machine. Constraining the parameters in the kernel machine optimization problem to be a CPD results in a linear computational complexity in the number of...

Currently, hydrogen consumption is heavily concentrated within larger inflexible industrial applications, where it is produced onsite for further downstream processing. Considering traditional production pathways have a high emission intensity, electrolytic hydrogen production could prove an essential decarbonization pathway for existing,...

In recent years, the interest in deep-water wind energy projects has drastically increased, driven by the considerable wind resource in deep-water locations. In such locations, floating wind turbines are more economically attractive than bottom-fixed wind turbines. Nevertheless, the floating wind industry faces numerous challenges. One major...

Global average temperatures are setting new records compared to the previous decade, primarily due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as CO<sub>2</sub>. The growth potential in emerging economies worsens the current global situation. These CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are needed to be curtained and efforts are underway. The emissions...
