The, M.T.A. (author)In this report a model for the ingrowth of a prosthesis in a bone will be formulated and simulated. First an overview is given of all the biological processes that are part of this healing process and what external factors can influence this process. Then a first mathematical model is presented in which the mechanical stimuli (one of the...bachelor thesis 2010

Puzio, Tomek (author)Fibre Metal Laminates (FML) are hybrid composites, with the attempt to combine the advantages of metals and fibre reinforced plastics. Their promising properties are used locally in joining areas to reduce the structural weight. As the metal foils density, in this case a steel alloy, is much higher than the density of carbon plies, its amount...master thesis 2017

Faure, Nils (author)Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) is a process which focuses on the deformations of the Earth due to changing ice sheets. It is an important study in Climate Sciences, gravimetric studies and Earth modelling. Studying GIA allows to contribute to a better understanding of the Earth’s composition, thanks to the testing of multiple Earth models,...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Jiayao (author)Shape morphing has been considered a future direction in the pursuit of maximised aerodynamic and structural efficiency of an aircraft wing by triggering geometric reconfiguration to adapt to specific design requirements or load environments. Researchers have endeavoured to seek for morphing solutions that are simple, predictable, tailorable and...master thesis 2020

van den Brink, Robbert-Jan (author)Mines and improvised explosive devices are the cause of many mortalities of vehicle occupants. Both experimental and numerical research in this field aims to improve the safety of military vehicles. TNO has advanced Finite Element (FE) models to simulate such events. The numerical research is done to better understand mine blasts. Another aim is...master thesis 2019

Romijn, Kasja (author)Over the past few decades, the Netherlands has built numerous steel railway bridges to improve its infrastructure. The repeated loading from railway traffic makes steel bridges susceptible to fatigue damage. The stress ranges at fatigue-prone locations are generally higher in railway bridges than in road traffic bridges. Due to the limited space...master thesis 2023

kunst, David (author)Areas are getting more and more populated causing new infrastructure lines to be constructed below the surface. A bored tunnel is one of the possibilities to create this subsurface infrastructure, but the construction process of a bored tunnel is a complicated one. Many loads and aspects are present in this construction process that can be...master thesis 2017

Huiskes, S.W.G. (author)Heerema Marine Contractors is an offshore contractor who specializes in the installation and removal of a range of offshore facilities. This includes the installation of submarine pipelines in excess of 1500 [m] water depth. Higher water depths drive the pipeline designs to increase wall thickness. Another motive to apply a low D/t ratio is to...master thesis 2016

Dolganov, Mikhail (author)This research studies a simplified connection between one storey high concrete columns and the continuous floors with an integrated steel beam, of the THQ type, carrying hollow core slabs and covered by a reinforced structural screed. The final goal is to determine the strength of the connection. This is done with a calculation method, which may...master thesis 2019

van der Linde, Luuk (author)The superyacht industry faces an increasing trend of larger dimensions, more open spaces, larger hull openings and more exotic shapes. This puts more effort on the structural design and especially for superyacht longitudinal stiffness is important, since the luxurious interior and delicate systems installed in a superyachts are not allowed to...master thesis 2019

Tazelaar, Eliane (author)Background: To find treatment options for lower back pain, one must gain insight in the spinal anatomy and biomechanics such as joint reaction forces and movement strategies. These can be acquired with use of the Finite Element Method. Previously investigated finite element models of the lumbar intervertebral disc have been designed with the...master thesis 2019

Prabendra Ardhan Atmakusuma, Prabendra Ardhan (author)The Noordtunnel is an immersed tunnel open to roadway service since 1990 in The Netherlands. Over the past thirty years of its operation time, a significant differential settlement behaviour has been observed, and this ongoing settlement potentially imposes safety concerns to the tunnel, such as joint leakage. However, the underlying factor...master thesis 2023

Scholten, T.C. (author)Topology optimization is widely used within the academic environment. It is however not yet a standard design tool within the commercial industry. My research aims to shorten this gap by applying a topology optimization for an industrial design load. The design load is from a Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) that requires active cooling in order...master thesis 2017

van Casteren, Rosalie (author)The Earth is subjected to 100,000 year cycles of glaciation and deglaciation. The deformations induced by glacial and oceanic loading and the continuous attempt at recovery of the isostatic equilibrium within the solid Earth, are referred to as Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA). This process is ongoing still and yields a large contribution to...master thesis 2019
