Modelling and Control of Experimental Scale Hydrofoil Craft

Hydrofoil crafts with fully submerged foils can provide fast and economical waterway transport. However, their operation requires reliable onboard control systems to ensure the safety and comfort of their passengers, especially in rough sea conditions. This thesis project is focused on the dynamical modelling and the design...

Uncertainty modelling in remaining useful life estimations of aircraft engines

Uncertainty Modelling in Aircraft Trajectory Predictions

Several initiatives are being developed to shift the current paradigm in Air Traffic Management (ATM) from the tactical-based approach to more strategic-based coordination of flights. This transformation of the ATM system relies on the improvement of predictive models that predict the 4D-trajectory of an aircraft. Previous studies primarily...

Exploring market uncertainty in early ship design: Simulating the effect of design parameters on vessel performance in an uncertain market

To decrease Europe’s harmful emissions, the European Union aims to substantially increase its offshore wind energy capacity. To further develop offshore wind energy, investment in ever-larger construction vessels is necessary. Designing these vessels is difficult however, as this market is characterised by a large but seemingly unpredictable...
