Aberkrom, B. (author)Plated structures are widely used in many engineering structures. Most designs are poor in resisting compressive forces. Usually, the buckling phenomena observed in compressed conditions take place rather suddenly and may lead to catastrophic structural failure. Therefore it is important to know the buckling capacities of the plates and...master thesis 2014

Tzouvelekis, A. (author)Wind energy today is synonymous with the extraction of energy from wind via the deployment of groups of large multi-megawatt wind turbines. Nonetheless Small wind turbines (SWT) have been also designed for the built environment in order to extract energy from the wind, while being at close proximity to buildings. Despite the fact that their...master thesis 2014

Bakker, M.A. (author)Caused by climate change, the Randstad region of the Netherlands will be threatened by floods. This project researches an unconventional solution to this problem and uses this solution as a basis for an architectural design: by using various closable river barriers the Rijnmond area can be protected from both sea and river threats. A dike on the...master thesis 2014

Cowan, A. (author)In order to meet the requirements set by the national government and European Union concerning energy reduction, the EPC of houses will have to drop to 0.4 by 2015 and 0 by 2020. To achieve these target, it is necessary to gain more knowledge about the real performance of current new realized buildings, to see how these buildings can be improved...master thesis 2014

Hu, K. (author)Near-field source localization is an important aspect in many diverse areas such as acoustics, seismology, to list a few. The planar wave assumption frequently used in far-field source localization is no longer valid when the sources are in the near field. Near-field sources can be localized by solving a joint direction-of-arrival and range...master thesis 2014

Taale, Henk (author)Dynamic traffic management is an important approach to minimise the negative effects of increasing congestion. Measures such as ramp metering and route information, but also the traditional traffic signal control is used. The focus in designing traffic control plans has always been on local control. However, there is a tendency to come to a more...other 2014

Boeke, L.W. (author), Van der Plaats, R.L. (author)In deze thesis is het ontwerpproces van de ’Altimeter bal’ beschreven. Deze bal is bedoeld als speelgoed voor kinderen en behoort na een worp de maximale hoogte van die worp weer te geven. Onderzoek is gedaan naar de manier van hoogtebepaling, het materiaal waarvan de bal gemaakt is en de manier waarop de Altimeter bal met de gebruiker...bachelor thesis 2014

Eilander, D.M. (author), Annor, F.O. (author), Iannini, L. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Multipurpose small reservoirs are important for livelihoods in rural semi-arid regions. To manage and plan these reservoirs and to assess their hydrological impact at a river basin scale, it is important to monitor their water storage dynamics. This paper introduces a Bayesian approach for monitoring small reservoirs with radar satellite images....journal article 2014

Schmied, S.A. (author)The aim of the research presented in this work was to investigate the novel idea to produce continuous breaking waves, whereby a pressure source was rotated within an annular wave pool. The concept was that the pressure source generates non-breaking waves that propagate inward to the inner ring of the annulus, where a sloping bathymetry (beach)...doctoral thesis 2014

Solaimani Kartalaei, H. (author)For a long time, technology has served as a silver bullet to gain a sustainable competitive advantage and to outperform the competitors. However, access to and exploitation of technologies gradually becomes a commodity, hence a less powerful resource to be leveraged to a competitive edge. Instead, companies increasingly are captivated by the...doctoral thesis 2014

Frenzel, P. (author), Hillerbrand, R. (author), Pfennig, A. (author)The vast majority of today’s chemical products are based on crude oil. An attractive and sustainable alternative feedstock is biomass. Since crude oil and biomass differ in various properties, new synthesis pathways and processes have to be developed. In order to prioritize limited resources for research and development (R & D), their economic...journal article 2014
