Moors, G. (author)This thesis continues the work performed by Ferreira and Almeida on the topic of weight and cost reduction of composite multi-spar torsion-bending boxes. The goal is to find the influence of changes to the structural configuration on the resulting weight of said torsion-bending boxes. Using analytical methods, combined into the BoxSolver MATLAB...master thesis 2016

Ye, F. (author)This master thesis presents research into buckling of thin hyperboloid shells structures. This type of structure is typically applied as the large cooling towers at coal fired electricity plants. However, modelling cooling towers is not the objective of this research. The objective of this research is to understand the buckling behaviour of...master thesis 2015

Chullabrahm, P. (author)Submarine pipeline is an important part of offshore oil and gas projects for fluid transmission purpose. Installation of pipelines, especially in deep water, can induce rather severe loads to the structure and this can lead to the unforeseeable risks and challenges. During pipe laying by vessel and reel ship, the pipe bend in the vertical plan...master thesis 2015

Delgado, O. (author)This thesis studies the buckling behavior of I-shaped steel columns under the effect of thermal gradients. The mechanical properties of steel decay signicantly with increasing temperature. Therefore, in case of a re, the buckling resistance of steel columns is considerably reduced due to the decrease in the modulus of elasticity and yield...master thesis 2015
