van Gisbergen, Daan (author)This thesis explores waiting and rebalancing strategies in urban waterborne transport, intending to improve the efficiency and operational performance of water transportation systems. The study is based on a review of the literature on waterborne transport and waiting and rebalancing strategies. This is followed by a case study where the found...master thesis 2023

Stokman, Charlotte (author)The energy market is growing and noise regulations for offshore foundation pile installation grow stricter. New initiatives arise to comply with the ongoing developments in the field, such as the BLUE Piling Technology under development by IQIP. Its features are presented as reduced underwater noise levels during installation, which is attibuted...master thesis 2023

Halvorsen, Stijn (author)Wind energy plays an essential role in the transition to a sustainable future and wind turbines allow us to utilize it. Wind turbines are often installed in close proximity to make the best use of the given space and to save costs. This also has the disadvantage that the turbines influence each other due to wakes. This is where wind farm control...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Michiel (author)In the modern world, evacuating a building in a safe and orderly manner remains a challenge. Fire-based emergencies in a building are dynamic environments that can be simulated to better understand, analyse, and contribute to safer and smarter buildings. While different spatial representations exist, <i>voxels</i> provide a structured, flexible...master thesis 2022

Nikolakopoulos, Konstantinos (author)The concept of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services was created mainly in response to traffic congestions. In this research we focus on UAM services such as those provided by Uber Elevate. We therefore present a framework to solve the Urban Air Mobility Problem with Time Windows (UAMP-TW) under dynamic demand, using an Adaptive Large Neighborhood...master thesis 2021

Michael, M. (author), Overend, M. (author)Glazing is a critical buildings element as it is the most vulnerable envelope part to heat gain and heat loss accounting for around 50% of a building's energy consumption. However, conventional glazing technologies have relatively low-performance characteristics which cause significant heat losses during winter and undesired heat gain in...journal article 2021

Koukelli, Christina (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Așut, Serdar (author)The paper explores the potentials of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for the design of autoreactive façade systems without using additional external energy. The exploration is conducted and assessed through the design of a façade concept for the city of Athens in Greece, aiming to improve both the indoor and outdoor environment by means of a kinetic...journal article 2021

Frints, Ivo (author)Osteoarthritis, the degeneration of articular cartilage, which causes loss of mobility and chronic pain for patients is a common condition with high clinical demand. Care of this condition currently attributes to ±1.4% of the Dutch annual health care costs, but due to the rapidly aging Dutch population a 41% increase of cases is projected over...master thesis 2020

Cederhout, Q. (author)Dynamic Time Slot Management (DTSM) is a system often used in online retail to manage the delivery of goods to customers. With DTSM customers arrive over time and place orders. They get presented with a set of time slots and the customer picks the time slot in which he wants the goods to be delivered to his home. A DTSM system creates a time...master thesis 2020

Jamshidi, Helia (author)An electric-recharging planning algorithm was developed in this study to accompany a dispatching algorithm that assigns real-time trip requests to vehicles of a shared taxi fleet owned by an operator. The algorithm decides on when, where, and how much each vehicle should charge, in real-time. It will also relocate idle vehicles if needed. The...master thesis 2019

Moragiannis, Panagiotis (author)Offshore oil and gas projects usually require the presence of more than one facilities in the same location. These facilities need to be connected with each other in order to enable the transfer of personnel among each other. As a result, bridges are implemented for such purposes with their ends being positioned at extensions of the two...master thesis 2019

Simons, E.C. (author), Weerheijm, J. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)Plasticity models are frequently used to describe ceramic materials. Well established and often used ceramic models are those by Johnson and Holmquist. These are softening plasticity models for which mesh dependency is a well known problem. A viscosity or rate dependency can be added to the material model to provide regularization and solve...journal article 2018

Nieuwenhuijse, Lennart (author)A popular strategy in structural dynamic modeling is breaking the structure down into separable, manageable substructures. By doing so, one can choose the most efficient way of modeling the substructures, before synthesizing the full system model. This method is known as Dynamic Substructuring (DS). One method of DS, is Frequency Based...master thesis 2018

Bosch, Paul (author)This graduation project contains the process and design of a dynamic modular sleep system. This system is a solution for problems caused by existing static beds. People change positions during their sleep and static beds do not adjust to these changes which may result in bad spinal alignment. This could be the cause of sleep- or medical...master thesis 2018

Patki, M. (author)A conventional annealing line uses a gas fired or electrical heating to heat and gas jets to cool the steel strip. The energy supplied during heating is lost in the cooling section. This energy has a lot of potential which can be recovered and used for the heating of the cold steel strip. Tata Steel, TU Delft and Drever International are...master thesis 2017

Amidi, M. (author)Power transmission networks are large scale complex distributed and networked systems, situated in dynamic environments. Managing such systems is essentially decentralized and distributed. The main function of power transmission grids is to assure the security and reliability of the network and to avoid blackouts. Key elements that can determine...master thesis 2012

Suson, A.C. (author)Currently most car drivers use static routing algorithms based on the shortest distance between start and end position. But the shortest route is different from the fastest route in time. Because existing routing algorithms lack the ability to react to dynamic changes in the road network, drivers are not optimally routed. In this thesis we...master thesis 2010
