Hofland, B. (author)In order to understand the processes involved in damaging a granular filter, the behaviour of the separate particles it is made of must be known. The hydrodynamic forces on the particles are very important for understanding this behaviour. These forces have been examined by many researchers. Chapter 2 deals with that aspect. The characteristics...report 2000

Hofland, B. (author)This report is structured as follows: In chapter 2 the importance of wall pressures with respect to the present research is described. The literature on wall pressures that was used, and some general features of wall pressure fluctuations are subsequently described in chapter 3. Chapter 4 deals with the pressure sensors. It begins with a brief...report 2001

Verhagen, H.J. (author)Because of problems with the design guidelines produced by PIANC for armoured slopes under attack by bowthrusters, additional work has been done in the Netherlands. On the basis of this work computational rules have been developed. However, because of the increase of bowthruster power, more detailed knowledge is needed on the effect of a...conference paper 2001

Hofland, B. (author)The second chapter describes the general methodology of the research. It presents the key questions about the entrainment of stones from granular filters that are as yet unanswered. It also describes the aspects that are being regarded in the analysis in this report. In chapter 3 the measuring set-up is described. The following two chapters...report 2001

De Vlugt, E. (author)Visco-elasticity of joints is important for the maintenance of the human body posture and can in two manners be regulated. By means of cocontraction of antagonistic muscle groups and by neural reflexive feedback of muscle length and muscle strength, measured both by means of sensors in the muscles. The impact of the reflexive regulation is...doctoral thesis 2004

Oosterom, R. (author)The shoulder joint provides us with a large range of motion. This is enabled by the shallowness of the glenoid cavity and the cooperation of many bone elements of the shoulder girdle. This results in complex biomechanics and dependency to surrounding soft tissues for its stability. Due to a fracture or joint diseases, a shoulder replacement may...doctoral thesis 2005

Hartmann, L. (author)It is easy to see whether a system in equilibrium is stable when there are only two forces acting on it, as in a swing. But until recently, this was impossible for an equilibrium involving three forces, as in a hammock. A team of structural engineers at TU Delft have discovered a mathematical method of determining the stability of an equilibrium...journal article 2006

Gaspar, F.J. (author), Lisbona, F.J. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author)In this work, we present a robust and efficient multigrid solver for a reformulated version of the system of poroelasticity equations. The reformulation enables us to treat the system in a decoupled fashion. It is sufficient to choose a highly efficient multigrid method for a scalar Poisson type equation for the overall solution of this...conference paper 2006

Juliana, S. (author)The objective of the research was to identify and evaluate promising mathematical techniques for re-entry flight clearance. To fulfil this objective, two mathematical methods were investigated and developed: μ analysis for linear models and interval analysis for both linear and non-linear models. The stability of re-entry vehicles in the...doctoral thesis 2006

Van Dijk, T. (author)For almost a century and a half, mathematicians have been racking their brains about the bike. How can a rolling bicycle be so stable of its own accord? Delft researchers now say they have completed the model to end all models. Bicycle manufacturer Batavus intends to use it to make better bikes for the elderly and disabled.journal article 2007

Dijkstra, W.O. (author)In the thesis two different models of solidification of aluminum alloys are presented and analyzed. The first 1--D solidification model is derived from the conservation of solute, heat and mass. With numerical experiments it is shown that simulations with the Finite Difference discretization must adhere a relation similar to the Courant...doctoral thesis 2007

Marcel, C.P. (author)The stability of natural circulation boiling water reactors is investigated with a strong emphasis on experiments. Two different facilities are used for such a task: the GENESIS facility (to which a void reactivity feedback system is artificially added) and the CIRCUS facility. In addition, numerical codes are also used in the investigation.doctoral thesis 2007

Kleinhans, M.G. (author), Jagers, H.R.A. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)At river bifurcations, water and sediment are divided over two branches. The dynamics of the bifurcation determine the long-term evolution (centuries) of the downstream branches, potentially leading to avulsion, but the dynamics are poorly understood. The long-term evolution can only be studied by one-dimensional models because of computational...journal article 2008
