Heerens, N.C. (author)The design of the landing gear is one of the prime aspects of aircraft design. Literature describes the design process thoroughly, however the integration of these design methods within an automated design framework has had little focus in literature. Landing gear design includes different engineering disciplines including structures, weights,...master thesis 2014

Piet, M.M. (author)Direct measurement of river discharge is time consuming and financially demanding. Continuous river discharge measurements are therefore generally derived from continuous stage measurements, through a stage-discharge relation, also called a rating curve. Rating curves are determined by fitting a curve to a limited number of points (hi, Qi),...master thesis 2014

Wensveen, M.H. (author)Optimistic Planning is a model-based online planning algorithm that guarantees near-optimal actions for the control arbitrarily nonlinear systems. Planning algorithms aim to find optimal actions by starting from the current state and developing a tree representation of sequences of actions and resulting states, using a model to simulate state...master thesis 2014

Visscher, G. (author)The spatial resolution of an astronomical telescope is limited by either by the diffraction of light and the amount of aberrations caused in the atmosphere. To increase the diffraction limited resolution, the size of telescopes increases such as the to be build European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). To fully benefit from the increased...master thesis 2014

Vollebregt, S. (author)Interconnects in integrated circuits (IC) are the major cause of power dissipation and delay. 3D integration has been proposed as a method to reduce these issues. For this 3D integration, fabrication of high aspect ratio reliable vertical interconnects (vias) are required. For this new materials, like carbon nanotubes (CNT), are being considered...doctoral thesis 2014

Wever, R. (author)Packaging has always received a lot of attention within the field of design for sustainability. The classical approach has been to mainly focus on reducing the impact of the packaging. This approach stems from the ill-informed position that packaging is superfluous, or at best there only for marketing reasons. This is a rather guild-based...conference paper 2014

Lopez Garzon, C.S. (author), Straathof, A.J.J. (author)The present invention is in the field of a process for producing an ester, such as a biobased ester, from an aqueous biomass comprising solution, batch wise or continuously, wherein use of raw material is limited and if possible re-used. The present invention is in the field of green technology.patent 2014

Oudkerk, F.L. (author)Current approaches that deliver energy insight to customers are rather poor, data centric and incomprehensible. Driven by the vision to differently support customers in the transition towards new energy behavior, the Energy Game was developed. This service aims to guide customers in their journey towards a situation in which customers manage...master thesis 2014

Langendoen, J.W. (author)In the Netherlands, almost one quarter of the children is overweight. (VUmc, 2012) This percentage keeps on rising. Overweight is expected to be the world’s largest health care problem in 2050. Children deserve special attention, since research by EPODE (Ensemble, Prévenons l’Obésité Des Enfants) shows that children that are overweight have a...master thesis 2014

Perrin, V.E. (author), Jonker, H.J.J. (author)This study investigates the local flow characteristics near droplet-droplet collisions by means of direct numerical simulation of isotropic cloudlike turbulence. The key finding is that, generally, droplets do not collide where they preferentially concentrate. Preferential concentration is found to happen as expected in regions of low enstrophy ...journal article 2014

de Lange, C.C. (author)Between 2009 and 2012, 30 collisions between straddle carriers have been observed at APM Terminals Rotterdam. Although none of these accidents were fatal, the urgency to decrease the rate of collisions, especially the risk of a potential fatality, is apparent. The measures to prevent these collisions currently in place are developed from an...master thesis 2014

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Vuik, C. (author)We propose and analyze a generic multi-class kinematic wave traffic flow model: Fastlane. The model takes into account heterogeneity among driver-vehicle units with respect to speed and space occupancy: long vehicles with large headways (e.g. trucks) take more space than short vehicles with short headways (e.g. passenger cars). Moreover, and...journal article 2014

(author)Complex overburdens can severely distort transmitted wavefields, posing serious challenges for seismic imaging. In Marchenko redatuming, we use an iterative scheme to estimate so-called focusing functions, which can be used to redatum seismic wavefields to a specified level below the major complexities in the subsurface. Unlike in conventional...conference paper 2014

Susanto, A. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)Stray current is essentially an electrical current “leakage” from metal conductors and electrical installations. When it flows through cement-based systems, electrical energy is converted to thermal energy that causes increasing temperature due to Joule heating phenomena. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the influence of electrical...conference paper 2014
