Keesmaat, Patrick (author)An autonomous guided vehicle can be used for the delivery of goods. To deliver these goods to your home, the mobile robot will be driving in pedestrian rich environments. In these environments the robot will need to socially navigate itself in a way which is both pleasant for the pedestrians and progressive for the robot. During its drive, the...master thesis 2020

Bouwmeester, Wietse (author)Mankind becomes ever more reliant on wireless technology like mobile communications, navigation and radar. This development has resulted in more sensitive receivers, but this increased sensitivity also has increased the susceptibility of these receivers to interference from external sources. One of these sources that is known to disrupt...master thesis 2020

Kraanen, Sarah (author)Societies are aging. This means the older population is not only growing in size, but also in proportion. Apart from this, generations are changing. The elderly of the future will in all probability not have the same needs as the elderly of today. These changes lead to new challenges for society and ask for new solutions spatially and socially....master thesis 2020

Granda Valencia, Camilo (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)This paper provides a practical example of the torsion design of an inverted tee bent cap of a three-span bridge. A full torsional design following the guidelines of the ACI 318-19 building code is carried out and the results are compared with the outcomes from CSA-A23.3-04, AASHTO-LRFD-17, and EN 1992-1-1:2004 codes. Then, a summary of the...conference paper 2020

Stoimenova, N. (author), Price, R.A. (author)A fundamental shift in the way society operates is approaching driven by advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Yet, there is a comparative lack of discourse across the design discipline regarding this topic. While there are fragments of methodological readiness for designing (with/for) AI, the nuances of such need to be further...journal article 2020

Cui, Minhao (author), Wang, Q. (author), Xiong, Jie (author)Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a promising technology for future wireless communications. By modulating the visible light - -that has about 10,000x larger frequency band than that of radios - -to transmit data, VLC has the potential to provide ultra-high-speed wireless connectivities. However, it also has limitations such as i)...conference paper 2020

PISA design model for monopiles for offshore wind turbines: Application to a stiff glacial clay tillByrne, Byron W. (author), Houlsby, Guy T. (author), Burd, Harvey J. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Igoe, David J.P. (author), Jardine, Richard J. (author), Martin, Christopher M. (author), McAdam, Ross A. (author), Potts, David M. (author)Offshore wind turbines in shallow coastal waters are typically supported on monopile foundations. Although three-dimensional (3D) finite-element methods are available for the design of monopiles in this context, much of the routine design work is currently conducted using simplified one-dimensional (1D) models based on the p-y method. The p-y...journal article 2020

(author), Jardine, Richard J. (author), Liu, Tingfa (author)The paper presents the development of a three-dimensional finite-element model for pile tests in dense Dunkirk sand, conducted as part of the PISA project. The project was aimed at developing improved design methods for laterally loaded piles, as used in offshore wind turbine foundations. The importance of the consistent and integrated...journal article 2020

(author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Igoe, David J.P. (author), Jardine, Richard J. (author)This paper describes a one-dimensional (1D) computational model for the analysis and design of laterally loaded monopile foundations for offshore wind turbine applications. The model represents the monopile as an embedded beam and specially formulated functions, referred to as soil reaction curves, are employed to represent the various...journal article 2020

(author), Martin, Christopher M. (author), McAdam, Ross A. (author)The PISA Joint Industry Research Project was concerned with the development of improved design methods for monopile foundations in offshore wind applications. PISA involved large-scale pile tests in overconsolidated glacial till at Cowden, north-east England, and in dense, normally consolidated marine sand at Dunkirk, northern France.
