Analysis of an actuated microbeam

Beij, J.C. (author)

Faculty EEMCS (Mathematical Physics) and Applied Sciences (Quantum Nanoscience). - In this project, we study the governing differential equation for a supported microbeam which is electrostatically actuated. The differential equation has been derived using a Hamiltonian principle and Kirchoff's approximation. Our questions on this differential...

A self-consistent model for the spiral arms of galaxies

Pols, D.J.B.V. (author)

In this thesis, we try to prove the stability of spiral arms using the density wave theory. This theory assumes that the spiral arms are not rigid structures, but instead they are regions with increased density that move through the galaxy like a wave [1]. The spiral structure, in this theory, are driven by the Lindblad resonances, which occur...

First steps in DC homegrid power management

Gravemaker, M.L. (author), Janssen, S. (author)

A demonstration setup of the Tesla Powerwall has been installed by Eneco at the department of DCE&S at the TU Delft. This setup is used to investigate the functionalities of the Tesla Powerwall. As research is being done about transforming AC homegrids towards DC homegrids, it would be interesting to investigate how the Tesla Powerwall would...

Solving the open day timetabling problem using integer linear programming

Gecmen, D. (author)

The timetabling problem is known as a large class of problems that fall under the mathematical field of scheduling. A widely used method to solve timetabling problems is the integer linear programming method, which we have used to solve the open day timetabling problem. In this thesis we have addressed a timetabling problem for the open day at...

Strengthening the integrality gap for the capacitated facility location problem with LP-based rounding algorithms

De Koster, P.B.J. (author)

This thesis studies the capacitated facility location problem, in which all clients have unit demand and all facilities have integral capacity. A linear relaxation is researched, with corresponding integrality gap bounded by a constant. Recently, such a linear relaxation has been found and proven using an LP-bounding algorithm. The formulation...

Dissipation in the Abelian Sandpile Model

Jongbloed, H. (author)

The Abelian Sandpile model was originally introduced by Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld in 1987 as a paradigm for self-organized criticality. In this thesis, we study a variant of this model, both from the point of view of mathematics, as well as from the point of view of physics. The effect of dissipation and creation of mass is investigated. By...

Analysis of Tidal Inlet Stability

Guo, L. (author)

The main goal of this project is to predict the in uence of non-uniform basin depths on the stability of single inlet systems. This is achieved by making use of Escoffier's principle, which poses a relationship between the relative water flow velocity in an inlet and the rate of change of its cross-sectional area. To this end, a thorough...

Reflective Light-Curves of Ellipsoidally-Shaped Outer Solar-System Objects and Exoplanets

Beekman, M.W. (author)

Faculty EWI and TNW. BSc Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics. In this thesis we consider reflective light-curves of planets, graphs of the intensity of the light originating from the parent star that the planet reflects versus time. In almost all instances, planets are modelled as spheres, like in [1] and [2]. However, planets...

De Hankeltransformatie via de Cherednik algebra: The Hankel transform via the Cherednik algebra

Oostendorp, M.G.C. (author)

In deze Bachelorscriptie bestuderen we een integraaltransformatie welke een generalisatie is van de Fouriertransformatie, deze integraaltransformatie wordt de Hankeltransformatie genoemd. Allereerst bestuderen we de symmetrische variant waarna we overstappen op de niet-symmetrische Hankeltransformatie. We gaan de niet-symmetrische...

Design and implementation of a sink term for the thermal energy equation pertaining to tranpiration from vegetation

Filipovic, A.G. (author)

Bachelor project part of the double degree bachelor in mathematics and physics. Calculating the temperature field in the presence of vegetation has many practical applications, such as the study of urban heat islands, but much research still needs to be done in this field of study. The objective of this paper is to describe and test a model,...

Nested Newton-type numerical model for describing single phase flows in enclosed systems

van Zon, M.A. (author)

Bachelor project part of the double degree bachelor in mathematics and physics. Physical phenomena tend to be difficult to simulate using mathematical models. Part of the problem lies in the fact that accurate simulations rely heavily on (limited) computational power. In order to speed up this process, new numerical methods are derived. One of...

Familial searching in DNA databases

de Vries, M.M. (author)

We start our introduction to DNA matching with the direct match case: we find DNA at a crime scene and find a direct match with a member of our database. To measure the strength of our case against the match, we use likelihoodratios. We differentiate between two different situations: the probable cause case, where we already suspect our match and...

Validity of analytical Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector responsivity expressions

Vaal, E. (author)

Astrophysical photons with a sub-millimetre wavelength are of great value to research star and galaxy formation. Superconductors have a small energy gap with which these sub-millimetre photons can be measured. Superconductors can absorb photons so that quasiparticles are created, which will in turn change the complex conductivity: incoming...

Using collected patient’s data to configure treatment plans for new patients in radiotherapy

Wensing, I. (author)

Nowadays around 50% of all patients diagnosed with cancer are treated with radiotherapy. Radiotherapy uses ionizing beams to irradiate the tumour. This radiation damages and destroys cells, such that it is impossible for this cell to grow and divide. When the tumour is irradiated, the surrounding healthy tissues gets damaged as well. The goal is...

Fast re-planning for radiotherapy by using the reference point method

van Furth, G. (author)

When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, a number of treatments is possible. About half of these patients is treated with radiotherapy. This is a multi-disciplinary field of research, where mathematics, physics and medicine come together. In this thesis the focus will lie on prostate cancer. One of the main problems with this type of cancer is...
