Woldeyohannes, S.Y. (author)Roads support our daily life, and play crucial role in supporting the infrastructure for economic activities. However, road disaster can be caused by different natural conditions of slope failures such as rainfall, steep topography, brittle geology, etc. Road disaster occurrences do not only cause the primary disaster from the infrastructure...master thesis 2010

Frens, A.B. (author)The main objective of this research was to assess the impact of different placement methods, with different packing densities, on the stability of double layered Antifer-block armour layers. This was done by experimental research in the wave-flume of the Fluid mechanics laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft...master thesis 2007

Oosthoek, J. (author)Gabion mattresses consist out of a steel wire grid in which fill material is retained. The advantage of these constructions is that the individual particle stability is no longer of importance. The containing function of the grid results in the effect that the fill material starts to behave as a group. Next to that the mattresses are all...master thesis 2008

Klop, Wouter (author)A humanoid robot is being developed, intended to operate robustly in a typical day-to-day human environment. Its ability to react quickly to stochastic disturbances, especially its ability to avoid falling, termed stability in this context, is of prime importance. The choosing of a suitable actuator that affords such stability is seen as a...master thesis 2017

Beekx, R.H.P.A. (author)South Korea is reclaiming land by constructing dams and polders. The large tidal differences along the Korean coast make building these dams a challenging job. One of the solutions in South Korea to cope with the high flow velocities in closure projects is to apply sack gabions. These are steel nets with rocks inside them that weigh up to 3 tons...master thesis 2006

Purgat, P. (author)The flexible power transfer network is a conceptual transfer network for residential areas. The main advantage of the proposed concept is the increased safety and flexibility compared to currently used AC network. The core idea is to incorporate wireless power transfer into the network which leads to inherently safer and more flexible network...master thesis 2016

Novati, G. (author)We developed bio-inspired reduced-order models of swimmers, consisting of a self-propelling pair of rotating cylinders. The aim of the project is twofold. First, simplified and non-deforming geometries can more easily be employed in small-scale robotic applications to solve relevant engineering problems. Second, they can serve as reduced physics...master thesis 2014

Symes, Patrick (author)This thesis aims to provide insight into the conceptual design phase of Tetrahedron B.V. with regards to buckling stability. Currently, Tetrahedron B.V. assumes an effective length factor of one for determining the cross-section profiles of the Tetrahedron Crane. In this thesis, Euler-Bernoulli beams are used to model every member of this crane,...master thesis 2020

Smulders, J. (author)The devastation caused by Hurricane Ike in the Galveston Bay area (Texas, United States of America) proved the necessity of an improved water defense. Multiple flood risk reduction studies were undertaken. The Texas A&M University of Galveston proposed the Ike Dike, a fortification of the coastal spine to prevent a storm surge from entering the...master thesis 2014

Mola Jimenez, Jorge (author)This master thesis analyses different ways to perform assessment in frequency and transient (rotor-angle) stability when high penetration of renewables exists in the grid, based on researches done in the academic world and in industries. The goal of this research focuses on assess the distance to frequency and transient instability in power...master thesis 2017

Bos, J.A. (author)Installed wind power world wide is increasing rapidly. The increase in wind power in the European electricity grid is expected to have its impact on the system behaviour. A European study, European Wind Integration Study (EWIS), was thus set up to study the impact of wind power. This thesis was carried out in parallel with EWIS and overlaps at...master thesis 2008

Gromotka, Z.J.G. (author)The tubing performance relation curve is a measure of well performance in gas well engineering. It describes the two-phase flow inside a well and as such is modeled as a two-phase one dimensional pipe flow. Convention claims that production points on the TPR curve to the right of its minimum are stable. There also exist claims about the region...master thesis 2015

van den Berg, Mario (author)Design criteria for the stability of rock filters on river beds (i.e. rock bed protection) are extensively researched and successfully applied in practice. The most common stability criteria are the Izbash and Shields criteria. These methods define a critical flow (Izbash) or parameter (Shields). Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) wants to explore a more...master thesis 2019

Bogers, P. (author)At present no computer model is available that can determine the stability of an inlet or what will happen to the stability after some adjustment of the inlet. This study has the objective to develop a simple model th at combines all major parameters in order to determine the stability of an inlet and the effects of adjustments on the stability...master thesis 1991

Hellinga, L.B. (author)Breakwaters with single layer concrete armour are very commonly applied nowadays. Much research is available on the stability of single layer armour units on the seaward slope. However, rear slopes design methods for single layer armour units are rare. On rear side slopes usually similar sized units as on the seaward slope are applied. Limited...master thesis 2016

Ruwiel, Tim (author)XblocPlus is a single layer armour unit that is recently developed by BAM Infraconsult. It is the successor of the Xbloc. An important advantage of the XblocPlus is the relatively high construction speed compared to the Xbloc. The increased construction speed is caused by the possibility to place XblocPlus in a uniform pattern and the relatively...master thesis 2020

Zimmermann, N. (author)The Westerschelde estuary in the South-West of the Netherlands displays two meandering flood and ebb channels separated by shoals. The system of flood, ebb channel and shoal between two channel crossings form a morphological cell. The stability of the serial cell system formed by the Westerschelde is important for the navigation route to the...master thesis 2009

De Jong, P.H. (author)The design of the ordinary bicycle has barely changed since the end of the 19th century. Until then it evolved to a well ridable machine with no need for further drastic modifications. However, around 2011 it was shown that, just like an ordinary bicycle, strange appearing designs could also be stable. One of these designs was a bicycle that...master thesis 2017
