Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is a generalization of classical linear programming where we restrict some (or all) variables to take integer values. Numerous real-world problems can be modeled as MILPs, such as production planning, scheduling, network design optimization and many more. MILPs are, in fact, NP-hard. State-of-the-art...

The goal of this research is to optimize the fiber layup of a carbon windsurfing boom for weight and stiffness. A windsurfing boom should be stiff to provide an efficient basis for the energy transfer from the sail through the surfer to the board. The weight of the boom is important as the total weight of the rig influences the performance,...

Purpose - To develop and evaluate a fast and automated multi-criterial treatment planning strategy for High-Dose-Rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. This automated strategy avoids suboptimal and slow manual treatment planning and results in reproducible and conformal treatment plans with a clinically...

Understanding the permeability of the subsurface is a crucial step to simulate fluid flow in the subsurface. A parameter estimation problem for the flow equations can be solved to find the permeability. The robust identification of material parameters remains a significant challenge. In classical approaches, the non-linear least-squares problem...

Single junction solar cells have a theoretical efficiency limit of 33.1% due to spectral mismatch. To overcome this limitation, two or more single junction cells with different bandgaps can be coupled together to achieve higher energy conversion efficiency by optimum spectral utilization. In this work, thin film silicon-based alloys are used to...

A well-established method for finding the optimal control policy for a given dynamical system is to solve the problem iteratively going from its terminal state "backwards" in time, known as Dynamic Programming Algorithm. For a generic problem with discrete state/action space, the algorithm has computational complexity of <i>O(NM)</i> for <i>N</i...

Nowadays, the energy consumption has a significant role in the entire life cycle of a building. The energy demands keep rising due to growth in population, increasing demand for healthy, comfort and productive indoor environment, global climate changing, and so on. This rapid increase in energy use in buildings represents a major issue...

Port call efficiency (PCE) is an important factor in the port choice of shipping lines. This research strives to contribute to the current work on PCE optimization. This is done by applying relative new techniques on port call related data. A combination of process mining (PM) and discrete event simulation (DEVS) is explored, with the Port of...

A parametric study, using the FEM-software package ABAQUS, validated on experimental results found by Abspoel, was conducted on S690 steel plate girders to address if the results of the previous researches was valid. Using a slightly different analytical model the results show the maximum web slenderness of this steel grade in both 6000 mm2 and...

Development of the autonomous vehicle has been a trending topic over the last few years. The automotive industry is continuously developing Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) that partially take over the driver’s workload. This has resulted in an increase in vehicle safety and a decrease in fatal crashes [1]. Full vehicle autonomy has not...

The Delft University of Technology is developing an MDO tool for the conceptual design of transport aircraft. However, the current program is not able to investigate the influence of the undercarriage design on the weight, drag and geometry of transport aircraft. This research proposes a new design method for the undercarriage, for which a new...
