Mooring a vessel is generally still done by means of ropes. The main disadvantages of mooring with ropes are that the process of mooring a vessel can take up to 90 minutes, it involves unsafe situations for, and cargo handling efficiency can be suboptimal. Mampaeys goal is to provide an active mooring system that adresses these challenges. It...

Destructive consequences of trapped space charges within HVDC coaxial cable insulation, such as accelerated aging, degradation, and breakdown, are some of the most significant challenges that manufacturers and users usually come up with. Pulsed Electro-Acoustic (PEA) method is a widely-used method for space charge detection and measurement, in...

In the past decades a clear transition can be seen from fully human-based production techniques towards more automated systems. With the Product Development Process (PDP) being a potential source of competitive advantage the same trend of adopting more automation can be seen in the PDP. The application of automation can lead to large reductions...

In a previous study, the optimal re-entry trajectory of Hyperion-2 has been derived. The mission of the vehicle is to measure hypersonic boundary-layer transition, a phenomena in which the laminar boundary layer turns into a turbulent boundary layer. This is an important feature in hypersonic flow to investigate, as it introduces peak heating...

FRP is increasingly utilised in the built environment, following successful implementations in the aerospace and marine industry. However, it exhibits poor stiffness and stability compared to conventional materials such as steel, making it challenging to satisfy serviceability and comfort requirements. Optimising FRP to address these challenges...

Nowadays football stadium encounter a lot of problems. Often services are outdated and the capacity is often too large or too small. These capacity problems especially occur in stadium that are built for major tournaments. When the tournament is finished, no appropriate tenants can be found and the stadium often remains empty. Another problem...

Engineers are still looking for ways to improve the performance of materials used in aircraft. A major step was going from metal parts to laminates in order to save weight significantly. Those laminates existed of fibres with a constant orientation, and became laminates with changing fibre directions. Variable stiffness laminates (VSL) are used...

This MSc thesis reports the results on optimizing the Al-Shaheen field performance using smart well technology. The field is currently being developed by Maersk Oil and Gas (MOG) offshore Qatar, using large-scale water injection on very long horizontal wells. The studied reservoir consists of a laterally uniform, tight matrix. However, undesired...

Due to the high aspect ratio and low induced drag of aircraft with strut-braced wings, they are being extensively studied due to their fuel-saving potential. This thesis aims to expand the fundamental knowledge in the design of aircraft with Strut Braced Wings (SBW) by achieving the following objectives. <br/><br/>The objectives of this thesis...

Breakwaters can be divided into two maintypes: the classic (rubblemound) type breakwater and the vertical (caisson) type breakwater. In general it is assumed that vertical type breakwaters are more economic than classic type breakwaters, due to the quadratic increase of volume of material needed for the classic type breakwater as a function of...

The building industry is fragmented. In the case of steel structures, two parties are involved in the design. The engineering firm designs the structure, and at a later phase the steel contractor designs all the detailing. This fragmentation restrict the possibilities of creating a cost optimal design. Currently, engineers often optimise on...

Automation in tomato greenhouses is lacking compared with some other crops. The efficiency and consistency of greenhouse operations can be boosted by implementing automation. Therefore, a new concept that facilitates the robotisation of crop-handling tasks is investigated. This concept combines the existing technology of a movable-gutter system...

The current project investigated the feasibility of aerocapture at Jupiter, and the benefits in terms of payload mass fraction that could be achieved compared to traditional orbital insertion burns. A numerical simulation model has been set up, as well as an analytical formulation of the problem. The numerical verification of the analytical...

The evolution of high-rises puts more challenge for achieving indoor visual comfort because the source of getting natural light inside is solely through sidewalls; especially in deep floorplan like office buildings, where visual discomfort is very usual to be experienced. Without any measure taken, it leads to a situation where the illuminance...

This graduation project is in cooperation with TU Delft, Tentech BV, Aectual and White Lioness technologies. It aims to investigate the feasibility of using recycled plastics as material for large-scale 3D printing with the 3D printer KamerMaker. In the meantime, a thickness distribution methodology is proposed for taking advantage of the...

Privately owned cars are an unsustainable mode of transportation, especially in cities. New Mobility on Demand (MoD) services should offer a convenient and sustainable alternative to privately owned cars. Notable in this field is the recent uprise of ride-sharing services such as offered by companies like Uber and Grab. Such services, especially...

Even though propellers are the oldest form of propulsion, they are still a popular choice for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and passenger aircraft in certain market segments. If the propellers are mounted on the wing, strong propeller-wing interactions alter the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. Using low-order numerical models, it is...

In current practice stope mines are designed using simple rules of thumb or using algorithms that do not find the true optimisation. Therefore a combinatorial optimisation algorithm was developed for optimising stope boundaries for sublevel stope mines. The profitability of a stope and the feasibility of a mine depends on the infrastructure that...

Aviation has a significant impact on the global atmosphere. Next to particle and gas emissions, the increase of cloud cover might increasingly contribute to aviation induced climate change. Water contained in the exhaust of jet engines locally raises the relative humidity levels sufficiently for contrail formation to occur. These contrails can...

Hardware acceleration using recon?gurable devices is a hot research item. To facilitate this acceleration technique, also called recon?gurable computing, tools are being developed that translate High-Level Languages into Hardware Description Languages. DWARV is such a tool developed at Delft University of Technology, translating C into VHDL. The...
