Mahajan, N. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Drivers initiate a discretionary lane change when they perceive an anticipated improvement in their own driving condition from moving to another lane. However, such a lane change can slow down other vehicles on the target lane, and even worse initiate a disturbance. In this work, we argue that the blocking effect triggered by individual lane...journal article 2024

Snijders, Hanne (author)In the realm of fluid dynamics and particle transport, the control of particle trajectories represents a formidable challenge. It would be useful to be able to optimally navigate an oceanographic float from one pre-set location to another by solely changing its buoyancy. In this thesis, a first step in discovering whether this is possible and...bachelor thesis 2023

Ewald, Vincentius (author)One of the classical solutions to maintain the aircraft structural integrity is to rely on the analysis of non-destructive testing (NDT) inspector with various inspection methods. However, it is relatively expensive in matter of time and costs to train human resources until the certification is reached. Further, in majority of the cases of...doctoral thesis 2023

van der Linden, Tim (author)With 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions originating from the built environment, the construction sector has a big responsibility to reduce global warming. The impact that structural designs have, is often calculated by simply multiplying a carbon factor with the mass of the structure. As gridshell structures feature a high number of nodes,...master thesis 2023

Prażmowski Baczyk, Juan Carlos (author)The world is in a climatic crisis. Extreme weather events are stronger and more frequent than ever before, exacerbated by human induced CO2 from energy production and the built environment. Only 5% of world energy is produced by renewable energy sources, presenting an enormous gap between sustainability and greenhouse gas emitting practices....master thesis 2023
