Smit, Thijs (author)Origami has become a source of inspiration in engineering for structural design and the creation of mechanical metamaterials. In the often used analytic geometric and energy methods, it is difficult to incorporate deformation of the faces in non-rigid origami. However, deformation of the faces can play a significant role in their mechanical...master thesis 2017

Kouyoumdjian, Aimée (author)The notion of citizenship has been a subject for many socialists such as T. H. Marshall as it is a broad notion and enhances many aspects. Some connections have be found and discussed in the Post- Modernism period, between the values defended by citizenship and educational architecture. Although this relation has been explained generally but has...master thesis 2017

van der Meijden, Rune (author)The rapid and uncertain penetration of distributed energy resources is changing the way people are consuming electricity. This development increases the risk of instability and congestion in the grid, posing great challenges to system operators in the near future. In order to optimally allocate resources and plan grid enhancement, distribution...master thesis 2017

Bogers, Janna (author)Metal nanoparticles have promising potential for use in medical applications, such as imaging or targeted drug delivery. Current methods of production of nanoparticles are expensive and make use of harsh reagents. Because of these limitations, nanoparticles are not yet widely available, limiting the use in medical applications. To commercialize...bachelor thesis 2017

Bloem, Hugo (author)In the Westerwald area clay quarries are in production. In order to assess the stability of the slopes the geotechnical characterisation of these quarries needs to be improved. This report provides the justification for a working plan for a thorough but quick assessment of existing slopes in clay mines. Literature is consulted for the...bachelor thesis 2017

Brandt, Jelmer (author)This thesis explores the possibilities to improve order allocation for petrol delivery with the aim to lower the travel distances. In this research a simulation model has been designed that can test different order pairing strategies for fuel delivery to petrol stations. The Multi–Period Split Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem with Time...master thesis 2017

Vriends, Robin (author)Context – Within the Netherlands, an urgent mismatch between supply and demand in the residential sector results in adverse effects such as high house prices and reduced affordability. This mismatch is anticipated to grow further due to an increasing number of households (between 300,000 and 1,000,000 until 2040) and the many barriers in the...master thesis 2017

Fiorellini Bernardis, Arturo (author)In this work the portion of the incident field that can be received by an antenna is investigated: the observable field. This field can be characterized only relying on the volume allocated to the antenna and thus independently from the specific antenna. The observable field is composed by a single spherical wave that first converges in the...master thesis 2017

Broos, Thomas (author)The problem adressed in this text is the fixation of capacities to interact by laws, which limits the realization of valuable transformative potential in the built environment. The purpose of this text is twofold: First to uncover the processes behind such fixation-through-laws for the built environment and; Second, to propose a different ...master thesis 2017

Cheylus, Thomas (author)This master thesis investigates the effect of surface morphology of Selectively Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V on fatigue performance. The literature study performed here iden- tifies roughness as one of three major causes for the decreased performance of the additive manufactured alloys (along side porosity and residual stresses). In order to eliminate...master thesis 2017

Floris, C.E. (author)Damage in materials and structures is unavoidable, leading to the time deterioration of its functional properties (e.g. barrier, load bearing, aesthetics) and ultimate repair or replacement. Lifetime extension can be achieved by using materials with initially higher performance or using materials that can repair themselves (self-healing). The...master thesis 2017

Von Gronau, Clemens (author)With the implementation of new legal aspects for dune safety assessment in 2017, the current method, Duros+, is no longer feasible to represent the desired processes. This 1D deterministic, volume-balance model cannot simulate processes like inundation and overwash, which are crucial to fulfil the new requirements for dune safety assessment....master thesis 2017
