Local Buckling Analysis of Thin-Wall Shell Structures

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...

Numerical Simulations of Full Scale Tests Investigating Effect of Fault Movement on Buried Pipeline

This master thesis investigates the response of buried pipelines under ground-induced deformations through the finite element simulations of a testing program undertaken at TU Delft Stevinlab II as part of the GIPIPE research project.
