Gonzalez Gonzalez, Isaac (author)
A seismic survey acquired by the petroleum company Wintershall has been used for this study in order to characterize the fault and fractures present in the area using the latest seismic attribute techniques. With the use of the software OpendTect from dGB Earth Sciences and a methodology developed by (Jaglan Hardeep, 2016) and (Qayyum F, 2015)...

Fatigue life prediction models, used in the design and analysis of cyclic loaded structures, often require experimental data in order to interpolate or extrapolate fatigue behaviour to different loading conditions. Due to scatter in fatigue life data, as well as model input requirements of several S-N curves, large numbers of experimental tests...

Range extended electric vehicles (REEV) are being considered as a possible solution for the electrification of passenger vehicles. The application of a recuperated gas turbine (GT) for REEVs shows potential in terms of power-to-weight ratio, emissions and cost. The recuperator plays a major role in achieving target efficiency, while being a main...

Compliant shell mechanisms utilize spatially curved thin-walled structures to transfer or transmit force, motion or energy through elastic deformation. To design with spatial mechanisms designers need non-linear characterization methods. This work introduces a comprehensive non-linear characterization method and framework which is experimentally...

Within the photovoltaic industry, a lot of research is done in order to minimize losses which are created during the conversion of solar light to electrical energy. In a crystalline silicon solar cell light has to pass through several layers before it enters the silicon wafer where the electron-hole pairs are generated. As one can imagine, if...

The relation between graph theory and max-plus algebra has been well studied since the inception of max-plus algebra. It has been shown that any square matrix over the maxplus semiring can be represented as a weighted directed graph. Furthermore, properties of these matrices, such as irreducibility and its (unique) eigenvalue, can be determined...

How does a micro SME communicate their way of working and experience to new team members?<br/>Every person at the company has about 20 years of experience in various companies. This does not only reflect in each person’s way of working, but also in the language and tools they use. These small differences accumulate into a range of different ways...

<br/>Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a condition of the spine, often characterized by a three- dimensional spinal deformity. Treatment usually involves interventions like exercise, bracing, or if necessary, surgery. Often bracing is prescribed to stop curve progression so that surgery can be avoided. Traditional scoliosis braces are...

Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) estimation of acoustic signals is of great interest in various applications including battlefield acoustic and noise localization. Acoustic sensors are employed in an array configuration to estimate DOAs based on the time differences of arrival DOAs. However, the acoustic sensors in the network have all their own Data...

Neutron capture therapy (NCT) is a binary form of radiotherapy that utilizes the high cross section of some nonradioactive elements, in particular boron-10 and gadolinium-157, for thermal neutron capture. The energetic charged particles (electrons and alpha particles) released in the capture reaction cause a high localized deposition. For almost...

As of October 2017 the Civic Integration Act (WI 2013) (Rijksoverheid, 2017) states that all non-EU newcomers that want to integrate in The Netherlands have to participate in the Participation statement procedure (PSP). As part of this procedure newcomers have to sign that they understand and respect the Dutch core values: freedom, equality and...

Fast depleting fossil fuels and growing awareness for environmental protection have led us to the urgency of a long-term energy planning where reduction of emissions, integration of renewable supply, and energy efficiency improvement represent the main targets of a ‘smarter’ employment of primary resources. Research is needed nowadays to drive a...

For the E39 highway in Norway a project is underway to replace the ferry crossing in the Sognefjord with a fixed crossing. Previous thesis projects have resulted in a design for a 4500 m long buoyancy bridge which consists of 22 concrete pontoons that carry a steel truss superstructure. To reduce lateral movements the pontoons are fixed to a...

Haptic shared control (HSC) is a method to combine the abilities of humans and machines, in which human and automation jointly exert forces on an input device. According to human-centered design, the underlying controller for HSC should closely resemble human behavior. This paper aims to continuously adapt HSC based on an online identified...

Car industry and motorsport development nowadays strongly rely on wind tunnel testing. As the literature survey shows, in order to fully understand the characteristics of the flow around a car, large-scale and volumetric flow field measurements are required. For its features, PIV can be pointed as a useful technique for automotive wind tunnels....

Our climate is changing. In the Netherlands, higher rainfall intensities and longer periods of drought are expected in the coming years. Urban environments have to be adapted in order to maintain (or improve) the living standards that we have set for today. Models of the urban drainage system play a vital role in the identification of flood...

The Ampelmann system offers a safe and reliable solution for offshore access. As safety is a key factor, an extensive safety and warning management system is employed which accommodates for different fault types that may occur. Accommodation of sensor failure in the Ampelmann system is currently done through switching to a redundant component....

In the manufacturing of semi-conductor devices there is a constant demand for increasing precision and yield. Measuring and controlling overlay errors is essential in this process, but these measurements are difficult and costly. Predictive models can be used as an addition to measurements, but they required labelled data for training. To...
