Quantum Zeno effect in qubits

This thesis analyzes the occurence of the quantum Zeno effect in a qubit in different situations. A system with a particle with spin 1/2, which represents a qubit, and detector is considered. The detector is modeled by a coordinate q, which has a Gaussian distribution with dispersion σ. There is the free evolution of the qubit and the...

Global ice ridge ramming loads based on full scale data and specific energy approach

This thesis analyses the loads that occurred during an ice ridge ramming experiment with the icebreaker Oden. Sea ice ridges are formed due to breaking and deformation of the ice cover. Wind, current, thermal expansion and Coriolis forces induce compression and shear forces onto level ice which can break the ice into rubble. The blocks of ice...

Beyond classical design methods: Integrated design of an offshore wind turbine by simultaneous redesign of the support structure and controller parameters

In order for wind energy to become a well established source of alternative energy that is able to compete with the traditional forms of energy production, the costs of (offshore) wind energy should be lowered. This can be achieved by either increasing the energy output of a turbine or by reducing its production and maintenance costs. Current...

Statistical evaluation of the identified structural parameters of an idling offshore wind turbine

With the increased need for renewable energy, new offshore wind farms are being developed at an unprecedented scale. However, as the costs of offshore wind energy are still too high, design optimization and new innovations are required for lowering its cost. The design of modern day offshore wind turbines relies on numerical models for...
