Materials and material structures with highly specialised and unique mechanical properties are sought after in order to gain the most performance from a system. Materials generally have fixed mechanical properties and are unable to adapt in the case of new or unforeseen situations. Active mechanical metamaterials are able to alter the...

Patients who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are extremely ill and at high risk of organ failure and death. Being admitted to the ICU is known to cause long lasting physical, cognitive, and physiological symptoms, which is called Post-Intensive Care syndrome (PICS). To provide better management of PICS, early recognition and...

Logistics and mobility services play a major role in our society, and efficient routing is a crucial part of this. However, even though routing problems have been widely researched, the solutions provided by algorithms do not always match drivers' expectations. Routing costs used by these algorithms are often based on one or a few parameters,...

Natural organic matter is one of the key components to remove from source water during drinking water production. NOM not only negatively influences the colour, taste and smell of the water, it also decreases the effectiveness of common water treatment steps such as (membrane) filtration and UV desinfectation. A big fraction of natural organic...

One of the preferred features of plastic is its high durability. This merit is its main disadvantage in the natural environment. When poorly disposed of, plastic waste can enter rivers from surface waters and subsequently end up in the ocean. Here, plastic spreads out over the entire ocean and ultimately ends in ocean gyres....

When in 2008 the financial crisis set it in Europe, consequences for the healthcare systems were inevitable (Parmar, Stavropoulou, & Ioannidis, 2016). Health budgets were reduced, and since the beginning of the crisis, 1.5 million additional people in Europe have had an unmet need for healthcare (A. Reeves, McKee, & Stuckler, 2015). A...

Quay walls are often designed with Finite Element models (FE models) to take into account the complex soil-structure interaction and highly non-linear soil behaviour. These are complex models that rely on many input parameters that have uncertainties. Nowadays, new quay walls are often equipped with sensors that collect information about the...

As collisions between aircraft and birds happen many thousands of times every year, all aspects of such impact events need to be taken into account in the process of designing an aircraft. One aspect that poses a risk is caused by the vibrations induced during bird impact. These vibrations are propagated through the aircraft structure by stress...

Today’s renewables, wind and solar power, have a fluctuating nature, making the grid less stable.However, with the increasing share of intermittent sources of renewable power, novel options have to be created to stabilize the power grid. One of these options is energy storage via the conversion of excess power to hydrogen, during periods of high...

This graduation project explores how the concept of problem sustaining interaction (PSI) patterns in mental development in adolescence can be used for design. In contrast to the currently used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which describes psychiatric disorders from only a psychological perspective, the concept of...

Our increasingly interconnected society poses large risks in terms of cyber security. With network traffic volumes increasing and systems becoming more connected, maintaining visibility on IT networks is a challenging yet important task. In recent years the number of cyber threats have increased dramatically. Monitoring and threat detection are...

The FRISC is a high speed craft of the Netherlands Navy which came into use in 2012. Because these vessels sail with speeds up to 45 knots in inshore waters, a large amount of focus and accurate path following is needed for safe navigation, and due to large accelerations, there is a high level of physical strain. These two factors cause a high ...

In this thesis the differences between the monohull and semi-submersible are investigated. For a general heavy lift crane operation and its operational profile, the difference is performance and total cost are calculated. These are used to determine the turning point, the point where the semi-submersible is more favourable for a heavy lift crane...

Designers are motivated to create more a efficient aircraft design following the growth of the market and environmental restrictions. As a result new interest in propeller-powered aircraft as such engines show higher theoretical propulsive efficiency as compared to turbofan engines. <br/><br/>The employment of turboprop engines on commercial...

The way the western society currently treats waste is hazardous and can threaten not only the public health but also (very delicate) eco systems. Annually over 87 million tonnes of plastic are being produced. Only 2 % is reintroduced into the original purpose. The rest of this plastic is downcycled, landfilled, burned or leaked into the...

Aortic stenosis is one of the most serious heart valve diseases and is the result of calcification of the aortic valve leaflets. This calcification is irreversible and affect the functionality of the heart valves. The only treatment is an aortic valve replacement. The trend in heart valve replacement is moving from open heart surgery towards...

In this thesis we model extreme log-returns on economic variables and apply this to Ortec Finance's model. These extreme log-returns are relevant for risk management applications such as Value-at-Risk and other measures of tail risk. We use extreme value theory to simulate economic variables with the desired tail behaviour. We pay special...

Absorption refrigeration cycles are energy saving as they can be driven by waste heat instead of electricity. By doing so, they reduce the use of fossil fuels, resulting in a reduction of emissions. However, many challenges exist for the traditional working fluids of the cycle, such as the crystallization problem of the water-lithium bromide...
