Hydrodynamic coefficients of a dropper line in North Sea conditions: On the drag and inertia coefficients of a Mytilus edulis dropper line submerged in water for a wide range of Keulegan-Carpenter numbers and high Reynolds numbers

Coastal communities around the world are facing significant challenges such as erosion, flooding, and storm surges. These issues highlight the need for nature-based coastal management solutions that can help mitigate the negative impacts of these events. Coastbusters Consortium developed such a solution in the North Sea. This solution is a...

Deformation of structures upon impact with a liquid free surface

This thesis study is intended to research the effects on peak pressure during impact of a deformable structure with a liquid. To find an answer to this question, a novel wedge was designed to perform free fall wedge experiments at the TU Delft. This report describes the progress that lead to answering the research question:<br/><br/>What is the...

POD-based surface pressure reconstructions from sparse sensing: An experimental investigation

Aerodynamic load determination through integration of the surface pressure distribution is limited in accuracy by the discrete number of measurements taken. Therefore, typically relatively large numbers of spatially distributed measurements are required which increase setup complexity, latency, cost and weight while requiring physical access in...

Musculoskeletal Modelling of Three Sit-to-Stand Strategies in Elderly People

Introduction: A thigh push-off is often used as a compensation strategy for standing up by elderly people. However, the biomechanics of this movement are not known. In this thesis the standing-up movement with the use of the thigh push-off strategy (TP), the armrest push-off strategy (AR) and the no arm aid strategy (NA) was analysed. The aim...

Creating sparkles at De Nederlandsche Bank: Connecting potential visitors to the exhibition of the National Numismatic Collection

De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) will be renovating their building in Amsterdam. In contrast to the ambience of the current building, the new building is designed to radiate openness, friendliness and sociality. This thesis suggests a manifestation that will create sparkles for potential visitors in the environment of DNB. The sparkles are for the...

Dynamic behaviour of the Sognefjord bridge: Analysis and review of the world's largest floating bridge design

A project is under way to replace the ferry crossings in Norway's highway E39 with fixed links, such as highway bridges or tunnels. This thesis research is on the crossing located at the Sognefjord, the widest and deepest of the straight crossings in the E39 highway. Previous thesis projects at IV-Consult have yielded a design for a floating...

Long-term morphologic development and the effect on hydraulic load: Scenarios for long-term riverbed development in the main channel of the Dutch Rhine system and their impact on hydraulic load

Streaming Fraud Detection on Session Based Data

Financial fraud is, within the banking world, a major source of expenses. Improving on timely detecting fraud is a constantly ongoing cat and mouse game between the financial institutions and criminal organisations. To be on the edge of fraud detection, new approaches have to constantly be developed. This research will tap into the large amount...

‘Designing an air terminal device for high-end hotel rooms.'

This graduation project focuses on designing a new concept design to replace the current grille of the Hydropac EC and Hydropac Fan coil Units of Ruskin Air Management and creating an innovative feature design for the luxurious high-end five star hotel branch. The defined problem areas that are taken into account during the design process are;...

Streampaper

Dit stageverslag is ter afsluiting van het bachelorproject voor de opleiding Technische Informatica aan de Technische Universiteit Delft. Gedurende de stage is het programma Streampaper ontworpen en geïmplementeerd. Streampaper is een op zichzelf staande applicatie waarin verschillende externe informatiestromen gecombineerd kunnen worden...

The floating construction method: A new method of constructing large submerged and floating structures

Parking problems in cities become more significant every day. Parking tariffs are going through the roof and parking spaces are limited. Therefore, cities are researching alternatives for parking on ground level and underground. One of these alternatives is parking underwater. One of these cities is Amsterdam. This city ranks number 5 on the...

Een gevel voor bestaande appartementengebouwen: Een onderzoek naar de relevantie van een geprefabriceerde gevel voor renovatieprojecten

Bruikbaarheid van de Complexiteitstheorie bij de lering van scheepsrampen

Restoration and protection mechanisms in the ATM layer in a SDH based network.

With the increasing use of telecommunication (transport) networks and the new possible services they will offer a demand for more reliable connections arises. To provide a reliable service, protection and restoration mechanisms are used in the telecommunication network. As new information transport technologies are developed new possibilities...

Getijd anlayse en voorspellingen m.b.h.v Arima-modellen

Doel van dit onderoek ik een getijanalyse m.b.v. Arima modellen voor het voorspellen van stormvloedhoogten Als onderzoek gebied is het getij bij Vlissingen in 1976 gekozen. De basis gedachte achter ARIMA-modellen is, dat het mogelijk moet zijn om een gegeven serie waarnemingen te modelleren m.b.v. de statistische eigenschappen van die serie....
