VITALIZE Fence: Bridge the gap between different hierarchies of social spaces

Optimisation of Capability Requirements of Heavy Lift Crane Vessel Conceptual Design

The study proposes a systematic and exploratory design strategy for determining the HLCV design capabilities. Accordingly, a Monte Carlo simulation optimisation model has been developed based on SDDP approach to align with this strategy. The model can be used as a decision support tool to assess the investment decisions on the design...

Semi-Analytical Solution to Buckling of Variable-Stiffness Composite Panels (Plates and Shallow Cylindrical Shells)

Variable-stiffness panels have previously shown enhanced buckling performance compared to constant-stiffness panels, due to the beneficial load and stiffness redistribution. Two semianalytical models based on the Galerkin method and the Ritz method have been developed in order to solve the buckling problem of variable-stiffness composite panels ...

Multiphase Pump Performance Assessment

The Oil and Gas industry has been using cutting edge technologies to increase the production for decades. For the exact same purpose Shell is planning to deploy two multiphase pumps into the Draugen field, located in the Norwegian Sea. A multiphase pump can increase the pressure of a mixture of liquid and gas simultaneously. It is very desirable...

Fault-Tolerant Flight Control with Sensor-Based Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion

A worldwide civil aviation accident survey for the period of 2002 till 2011, conducted by the CAA-UK shows that in this time period nearly 40% of all the aircraft accidents involved loss of control. Despite the fatal outcomes, reconfigurable flight control might have been able to recover the aircraft by efficiently utilizing the remaining...

UN Compound: Office Building Design

This project is focused on designing a new headquarters for the Ecological Council (in short UNEC) on the existing United Nations site which located in Manhattan, New York. The UNEC will improve the global sustainable issues by its power to combine knowledge of the environment, technology and economy and supplying its product over the world in a...

Early detection of anastomotic leakage using oxygen and carbon dioxide sensor

Optical sensor has been introduced to detect anastomotic leakage (AL) in an early stage. AL is a most feared complication in anastomosis operation, because there is no tool that can detect this effectively. Therefore, oxygen and carbon dioxide have been introduced for constant monitoring of the condition of anastomosis. This thesis will...

Document Management System design architecture for interdepartmental organization

Our daily life is governed by rules, standards and policies, trying to guide our life as untainted as possible. This is also applicable to organizations. Often unity within organizations is achieved through management systems. Alongside management system are documentations, which form a vital aspect of the veins of the organization. Having a...

Skywave analyse in een Loran-C ontvanger

Het Loran-C systeem ondervindt veel hinder van skywaves. Voor plaatsbepaling wordt alleen het begin van het signaal, dat nog geen last heeft van skywaves, gebruikt. De signaalwaarde op 35 µs van het ontvangen signaal wordt gebruikt. Over de skywaves is weinig bekend. Een drietal methoden is ontwikkeld om de eerste delay van de skywave in het...
