Morphological evaluation of the Scheveningen, Katwijk and Noordwijk shoreface nourishments using UNIBEST-TC

Parts of the sandy Dutch coast are liable to structural erosion. If this structural erosion would not be counteracted a considerable part of the coastal region will be lost in time. The Dutch have been counteracting this erosion for hundred of years. Since the nineties of the last century by means of sand nourishments. At first these...

MAXUS: Synergizing water, food and energy policy

Population growth, meat-focused diets and emerging industries are increasing stress on water, energy and food (hereafter: WEF) supply around the globe. As stress on the resources rises, the interdependencies between the sectors become more apparent and often lead to unforeseen chain reactions. An example of which is: a drought leads to...

Uniphy, design of a product-service system to increase overall patient compliance within musculoskeletal therapy

Uniphy is a product-service system that is able to help the patient at every step in the therapy process. It is a smartphone application that uses technology from Google’s project Tango to record the exercise in 3D at the practice of the therapist. This recording can be played back to the patient at a later time. When the patient executes the...

Kathedraal van Energie

Er is onderzoek gedaan en een ontwerp gemaakt voor een nieuw type gebouw. Dit gebouw kan elektriciteit opslaan om een dorp als Rutten volledig zelfstandig op windenergie te laten draaien.

Een tweedimentionale getijberekening betreffende de aanleg van een zanddam t.b.v. de overslag van L.N.G. voor de kust van Voorne-Putten

Er is een twee-dimensionaal numeriek getijdemodel gemaakt voor een deel van het Nederlandse kustgebied, tussen Kijkduin en de kop van Schouwen-Duivenland. De basis voor de berekeningsmethode wordt gevormd door het rekenmodel van dr. J.J. Leendertse. Nadat het model geijkt is, zijn er enige wijzigingen in aangebracht. Hierdoor is het mogelijk...

Stabiliteit golfbrekers met lage kruin

Dit afstudeerverslag beschrijft de interpretatie van een aantal proeven naar stabiliteit van lage golfbrekers. Het blijk dat de invloed van de materiaalfactoren tot een ontwerpschade van S=2 niet terug is te vinden. Boven S=2 geeft vooral de afnemende hoekigheid een progressief schadeverloop te zien. De invloed van de lengte-breedte verhouding...

Multi-Fidelity Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Sensitivity Study of Isolated Propellers

In the global search to more sustainable developments, research in the field of propeller propulsion systems is experiencing a renewed interest. The combination of efficiency and noise production is not studied as extensively as propeller efficiency alone in past studies. In this study, the relation between propeller noise and efficiency is...

De wand: Ontwikkeling Gravenplein te Beveren

Met als bijlage: A0 poster. Stedelijke ontwikkeling Gravenplein, Beveren. Architectonische en bouwtechnische uitwerking representatief deel van het ontwerp.

Real-time motion planning and execution of a 6DoF manipulator

In recent years, the desire to use manipulators in close collaboration with human workers has been a driving force behind a lot of robotics research. As part of a research project, Technolution BV has built a robotic pick and place system using the Universal Robots UR5, a 6 DoF manipulator. It was recognized that to realize the full potential of...

Performance of a Single-Aisle Aircraft with Auxiliary Propulsion and Power Unit

The aviation industry has grown at a steady rate of 5% per year over the past decades and is projected to continue this growth over the coming years. In sharp contrast stands the increasing concern with the reduction of the environmental impact of flying in the short term. To this end, a fuselage boundary layer ingesting propulsor powered using...

Performance Monitoring and Diagnosis of a Binary Distillation Column

The life-time performance of chemical processes is limited due to changes in the plant dynamics and disturbance characteristics over time. Such systems often make use of model-based controllers. When a dynamic change arises over time, a difference occurs between the dynamic models contained in the controller and the true system dynamics. The...

Kombergingsberekening voor een polder tussen Ameland en Friesland

Het doel van de uitgevoerde kombergingsberekening is het bepalen van de stroomsnelheden (en debieten) die zullen optreden in het grote sluitgat in de westelijke dijk van de ontworpen polder tussen Ameland en Friesland.

Hybrid Business Model for the Dutch Mental Care of 2030

This project’s research question is: How is society able to organize a mental healthcare system, that serves people’s individual care needs and is collectively economically viable? This research question regards a business model on a system level and the hybridity is reflected in the tension between the individual interest of fulfilling a care...

Improving the Predictions of Ship Speed and Fuel Consumption for Heavy Lift Vessels

The current ship speed prediction at a given fuel consumption shows large differences with the actual operational values for the Happy Star. This can result in schedule fines, unexpected fuel expenditures and difficulties in bunker schedules. The first goal of this research is to improve these predictions for the expected range of weather...

Numerical modeling of nonlinear Newwaves for impact assessment on offshore structures

Offshore structures are designed to resist the impact of the extreme wave. Shell EP Projects desires a computer model that is able to simulate the impact of the design wave on gravity based offshore platforms, such as the Sakhalin PA-B platform. Comflow is a numerical model that simulates fluid flow, by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using...

Wave attenuation in Mangrove forests

Mangrove forests cover large parts of the tropical and subtropical shorelines and grow in the inter-tidal zone. Mangrove forests act as a natural coastal protection. The most important features of this protection are the prevention of erosion by the collecting of sediment and the reduction of the wave climate. There is a need to quantify and...

Eggshell: Design and fabrication of non-standard, structural concrete columns, using 3D printed thin-shell formwork

Research and development in additive manufacturing with concrete has become more widespread over the last decade. The processes developed range from concrete extrusion, to digital fabrication of formworks and the unification of formwork and reinforcement. Although they enable the production of increasingly material-efficient structures, the...
