Chiong Meza, C.M. (author)Transitions are processes of change that have always occurred in society: for example, the production of goods changed from handcraft to machine-made. In recent years, these transitions attract more and more attention, mainly because societies now wish to actively bring about certain changes, such as the reduction of the use of fossil fuels –...doctoral thesis 2012

Moradi Tehrani, A. (author)In this study we developed algorithms for fast frequency and time domain integral equation modelling for marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) applications. Solutions of integral equations for CSEM applications in a three-layered earth with an assumed reservoirs is examined using the conjugate gradient fast Fourier transformation (CG...doctoral thesis 2012

Pel, A.J. (author)Regional evacuation planning is complex and timely. These planning studies can be assisted by a transportation model. In this thesis, we investigate the requirements for such a model, and develop, implement, and test a new model, called EVAQ, which meets these requirements. Two case studies show how EVAQ can be used to assess the success and...doctoral thesis 2011

Li, P. (author), Oosterling, J.A.J. (author), Hoogstrate, A.M. (author), Langen, H.H. (author), Munnig Schmidt, R.H. (author)In experiments of machining hardened tool steels (such as AISI H11, H13, and D2, up to 56 HRC) by commercial Ø 0.5 mm square endmills, it is observed that the tested micro endmills showed severe wear at an early stage of the process due to chipping off around cutting edge corners, resulting in unsatisfactory tool life and product appearance ...journal article 2011

Van der Ham, H.W.M. (author)Since the durability depends, among other things, on the quality of the concrete and presence of cracks, it is necessary to calculate the probability of cracking in hardening concrete as reliable as possible in case of durability predictions. In this thesis, it is investigated how the accuracy of stress prediction in hardening concrete can be...doctoral thesis 2011

Dey, A.K. (author)The Seismic Value Chain quantifies the cyclic interaction between seismic acquisition, imaging and reservoir characterization. Modern seismic innovation to address the global imbalance in hydrocarbon supply and demand requires such cyclic interaction of both feed-forward and feed-back processes. Currently, the seismic value chain paradigm is in...doctoral thesis 2011

Munuzuri, J. (author), Van Duin, J.H.R. (author), Escudero, A. (author)In medium and large cities, the delivery of goods represents a significant contribution to the problems of congestion, lack of parking, pollution and energy consumption. The characteristics of this type of transport are also very different from passenger mobility, even though they are often assimilated, due to the lack of specific tools for...journal article 2010

Dijkstra, J.T. (author), Uittenbogaard, R.E. (author)Aquatic vegetation has an important role in estuaries and rivers by acting as bed stabilizer, filter, food source and nursing area. However, macrophyte populations worldwide are under high anthropogenic pressure. Protection and restoration efforts will benefit from more insight into the interaction between vegetation, currents, waves and...journal article 2010

Yücel, G. (author)Transition can be characterized as long-term structural changes in the societal systems, through which the way these systems function change significantly. Both the scope and extent of change, and the nature of the societal systems make transition processes a complex dynamic phenomena to understand. This study explores both methodological and...doctoral thesis 2010

Koopman, J. (author), Jeltsema, D. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)A port-Hamiltonian formulation of the LuGre friction model is presented that can be used as a building block in the physical modelling of systems with friction. Based on the dissipation structure matrix of this port-Hamiltonian LuGre model, an alternative proof can be given for the passivity conditions that are known in the literature. As a...journal article 2010

Falk, A. (author), Turrin, M. (author), von Buelow, P. (author)The work described in this paper aims at developing the interrelation and overall effects of interaction between a folded plate roof structure and a system of branching column supports. In the context of architectural performance it is of interest to discuss the effects of the material on environmental conditions. The current study is...conference paper 2010

Van Dam, K.H. (author), Adhitya, A. (author), Srinivasan, R. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Contemporary problems in process systems engineering often require model-based decision support tool. Among the various modelling paradigms, equation-based models and agent-based models are widely used to develop dynamic models of systems. Which is the most appropriate modelling paradigm for a supply chain? In this paper, we seek to address this...journal article 2009

Van Nes, A. (author), Zhaohui, S. (author)The aim of this paper is to develop a method for describing urban patter by means of simple mathematical calculations applicable for urban design. Two approaches were used and combined with one another. The first approach was Stephen Marshall’s method for calculating T-junctions and X-junctions seen in relationship with a cul-de-sac and network...conference paper 2009

Van Nes, A. (author)The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it discusses how to analyse entire regions with the help of space syntax. Secondly, it demonstrates how a main route network through and between urban areas can be calculated in Depthmap. For this purpose one can combine angular choice with metrical distance and add various radiuses on top of each other...conference paper 2009
