Van den Steen, N. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Van Ingelgem, Y. (author)A new approach is proposed to numerically predict and study atmospheric corrosion for ranging droplet size distributions and the influence of the droplet geometry. The proposed methodology allows for a corrosion prediction based on observed droplet size distributions and droplet contact angles. A mechanistic finite element model, including...journal article 2022

Bahafid, Sara (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Jacobsen, Stefan (author), Geiker, Mette (author)We simulate the glue-spall stress due to mechanical interactions between a frozen saline solution (brine-ice composite) and a non-air entrained concrete surface including the impact of the micro-structure of the frozen solution. The presence of brine channels at the ice/concrete interface was found to be a prerequisite to induce stress during...journal article 2022

van Til, Yannick (author)The swift reduction of human’s carbon footprint is essential to prevent irreversible damage to the climate and to meet climate policy targets. Designing flexible and reliable future energy systems is a big contributor to meeting these goals. While energy system models have improved in the last few decades, they remain vulnerable against...master thesis 2021

Kordes, Arthur (author)Atrial Fibrillation affects millions of people worldwide. It is associated with an impaired quality of life and an increased risk of stroke, cardiac failure and mortality. Treatments exist, but early detection and treatment is crucial, due to the progressive nature of the disease. Algorithms can help with early detection. Machine learning...master thesis 2021

Knobbe, Jelle (author)The need for more efficient, cheaper, easily producible solar cells is growing as this combination of attributes can decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). A twoterminal (2T) Perovskite and galliuminidiumgalliumselenide (Pvk/CIGS) tandem cell is an excellent candidate, as it can have a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of +30%, can be...master thesis 2021

Haasnoot, Jelle (author)Bicycle simulator research has been the subject of considerable research, however, few of these attempts have integrated direct balance control and enough freedom of motion to deliver a real-world kinematic cycling experience. In this study, the B.I.K.E. (Bicycle Intrinsic Kinematics Emulator) system, a kinematic bicycle simulator, is developed...master thesis 2021

Kotian, Varun (author)Increased susceptibility to motion sickness, due to the transition away from driving, will be one of the major hurdles in the widespread use of automated vehicles. Sustained exposure to motion sickness can lead to the disuse of automated vehicle technology among users. Thus, there is a need to mitigate motion sickness. To do so, a robust model...master thesis 2021

Hoist the flag: A boundary rip current case study on swimmer safety in the Scheveningen harbour areaMustafa, Asor (author)Each year several fatalities due to rip currents are reported in the Netherlands. One of these accidents was during May 11th in 2020 near the Scheveningen harbour, were several surfers lost their lives. During the hydrodynamic and meteorological accident were quite severe, with a significant wave height of 3.0m and wind speeds of 11 m/s, which...master thesis 2021

van Deelen, Julie (author)With the population growing and countries becoming more affluent, diets shift. These global dietary shifts contribute greatly to increasing greenhouse gas emissions because of their higher carbon and water intensities. This development is problematic considering both the growth in our global economy as well as our population. It is therefore...master thesis 2021

Basu, Devayan (author)Numerous High Pressure Gas Cables (HPGC) had been laid decades back by TenneT, the TSO of Netherlands and parts of Germany. Now, when TenneT decided to replace or increase the loadings on such cables, the question appears how would they behave to such temperature profiles and also the progress of their aging under such conditions. Only if a...master thesis 2021

Lemij, Freek (author)A rapid increase in global energy demand and the international objective of increasing the contribution of renewable energy to satisfy this demand have spiked the interest in offshore wind energy. Depletion of suitable locations for bottom founded turbines has led to a new chapter in offshore wind development: floating wind farms. This...master thesis 2021

Spaans, Diederik (author)Myanmar lacks a water quality monitoring system to monitor changes in water quality in the Ayeyarwady Basin. This study aims to find to what extent changes in water quality can be measured in the Ayeyarwady basin and to identify requirements for a water quality monitoring system. In this study, the current water quality monitoring systems of the...master thesis 2021

de Roos, Anouk (author)Due to the much needed energy transition as agreed under the Paris climate agreement, it is expected that large amounts of variable renewable energy supply will be connected to the Dutch Transmission Network. Future social, economic and technological developments will determine both the amount of electrification as the central or decentral...master thesis 2021

Seetharam, S.C. (author), Kottititum, B (author), Maes, N. (author), Srinophakun, T. (author)Accelerated carbonation curing of cellulose fiber-cement composites is known to improve their durability in the form of decreased porosity and increased mechanical properties. In addition, because carbonation results in a decrease in the alkalinity of cement paste, it makes cement less aggressive towards the cellulose fibers. The properties of...conference paper 2021

Sun, Yimin (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)The state-of-the-art joint migration inversion faces the so-called amplitude-versus-offset challenge, due to adopting over-simplified one-way propagation, reflection and transmission operators to avoid over-parameterization in the inversion process. To overcome this challenge, we apply joint migration inversion to horizontally layered media ...journal article 2021

Fusco, Daniela (author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Addessi, Daniela (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)In recent years, the seismic risk in the north of the Netherlands has increased due to gas extraction. Since 2014, the Delft University of Technology started a research program to assess the seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. The Dutch URM buildings are characterized by slender piers and transverse walls. In common...conference paper 2021

Individual motion perception parameters and motion sickness frequency sensitivity in fore-aft motionIrmak, T. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author), Happee, R. (author)Previous literature suggests a relationship between individual characteristics of motion perception and the peak frequency of motion sickness sensitivity. Here, we used well-established paradigms to relate motion perception and motion sickness on an individual level. We recruited 23 participants to complete a two-part experiment. In the first...journal article 2021

van der Kruk, E. (author), Silverman, Anne K. (author), Reilly, Peter (author), Bull, Anthony M.J. (author)Capacity is the physiological ability of the neuromusculoskeletal systems; this declines with age. This decline in capacity may result in the inability to stand up (sit-to-stand, sit-to-walk), which is an important movement for independent living. Compensation, as a result of functional redundancy, is key in understanding how much age-related...review 2021
