The transverse stability of timber terraced houses can be provided by CLT stability walls where decoupled timber terraced houses are preferred to meet acoustic requirements leading to rather large thicknesses for the CLT stability walls and many large connections for anchorage to the foundation. The main goal of this research was to investigate...

The use of CFD-based optimizations is becoming a standard for turbomachinery design. Although the use of such optimizations can lead to great improvements of the machine performances, there are still several shortcomings in the common design procedure of turbomachines. In fact, this entails the optimization of the component shape, and only a...

The amount of Heat pumps in the Netherlands is on the rise mainly because of the climate accords that hope to abolish the use of natural gas. This project aims to improve upon the current design of heat pumps to answer to this increased market. This is done in collaboration with ThuisBaas and more specifically Errico Garofalo who created the...

The potential for the production of green energy in the Netherlands is insufficiently utilized. The cause for this problem is the insufficient bearing capacity of industrial roofs for the installation of solar panels using ballast. This required ballast exceeds the bearing capacity of the roof structure, or exceeds the bearing capacity of the...

As part of the fatigue assessment of a stinger, member loads on tubular joints are determined with a beam model. A beam model is a simplified method of modelling complex structures out of circular hollow sections. In a standard beam model, no attention is paid to modelling the tubular joint itself. In the model, beam elements of the braces are...

The aim of this graduation thesis is to present a bipolar stepper motor semi-analytical model and compare its simulated motor dynamics. Stepper motor modeling has been successfully used to simulate motor performance and dynamics, yet, each modeling method holds advantages and disadvantages toward one another. In this thesis, the analytical...

Introduction: Atherosclerosis, the major source of cardiovascular diseases, is one of the leading causes of death. During atherosclerosis the arterial wall is affected by a complex process of lipid driven inflammation that leads to thickening of the arterial wall resulting in a so called plaque. Because of plaque growth, the lumen of the artery...

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...

Engineering fields such as aerospace rely heavily on the Finite Element Method (FEM) as a modelling tool. In combination with the scale and complexity of the structures typically involved here, computational cost remains a traditional issue. To perform FEM analyses of such structures efficiently nonetheless, engineers rely on techniques such as...

Shell structures have been regularly used in the past for creating huge spanning structures, with the use of minimal material. Even though this method saves a lot of material, the labor cost of constructing these structures is high, due to the amount of work on the building site. By prefabricating these structures, a huge amount of labor and...

This research investigates how the equivalent frame method in combination with a sequentially linear analysis can be used to model the behaviour of a façade of an unreinforced masonry structure, subjected to a lateral pushover load. The experimental data of the two-story building experiment at the University of Pavia is used.<br/>Two different...

A proposed future mode of mass transit is the hyperloop system, in which magnetically levitating passenger pods travel at high speed through a tube held at low pressure. This thesis will investigate the dynamics of such a system, and determine the influence of various parameters on the dynamic response of the system. The tube has been modelled...

For the fatigue assessment of welded structures, several design methods are described by the design codes of IIW, Eurocode3 and DNV. The relation between the stress range and cycles to failures were derived from experiments: the SN curves. With the increased accessibility of finite element software to engineers, a more flexible approach emerged:...

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...

The high stiffness to weight ratio of fibre reinforced composites have been utilized in improving the performance of various structures conventionally designed using metals. One such application is the gangway of the Ampelmann system used to transfer personnel safely from and to the offshore platform in sea. In the current work, a preliminary...
