Auxetic metamaterials offer various novel abilities, one of the abilities is to deform into a dome-shape under out-of-plane deformation. Contrary to a material with a positive Poisson's ratio, which deforms into a saddle-shape. A dome-shape is named synclastic deformation and a saddle-shape is named anticlastic deformation. Under out-of-plane...

Developments in computational capabilities and the always increasing demand for higher performance of internal flow applications has meant that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool within the design process. A key point of interest is to couple the fluid solver with numerical optimisation techniques in order to obtain...

Unequal deformation of the soil can cause deformation or damage to buildings, like tilted facades or cracks in walls. This research investigates how deformation of a building can be analyzed using Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data. Cyclomedia captures LiDAR data yearly in the Netherlands making it possible to analyze either one or...

The comprehensive assessment of the deviatoric behaviour in peats is paramount in ensuring the resilience of soil structures. The understanding of this material is riddled with intricacies, given its highly complex fabric, which includes organic matter such as fibers. This thesis evaluates the capabilities of a recent constitutive model (JMC) to...

Deformable Mirror (DM) is the key part in the AO system. Characterization of DM is important as it maps between input voltage signal and output mirror deformation. The precision of characterization largely affects the control performance. While characterizing the DM with wavefront sensors is easy and straightforward, there is very few research...

During the preoperative planning for breast-conserving surgery, the surgeon makes use of an MRI scan of the breast cancer patient in the prone position to accurately locate the tumour. However, surgery is performed with the patient in the supine position. The surgeon needs to mentally translate the location of the tumour from the prone position...

Deformable Image Registration (DIR) is a medical imaging process involving the spatial alignment of two or more images using a transformation model that can account for non-rigid deformations. B-spline-based transformation models have emerged as a common approach to express such spatial alignments. However, without additional measures, their...

The aim of this research is to investigate which design method results in the best approximation of the deformations of a quay wall consisting of an anchored combined wall with relieving platform, looking at the elastoplastic method and the finite element method. The elastoplastic method is performed with the program D-Sheet Piling and the...

A vital component in the management of seismic hazard is the study of past seismic events. Classically, this has been the domain of seismology, which studies the dynamic manifestations of the event to infer properties such as epicenter and moment magnitude. More recently it has become possible to perform similar analyses on the basis of the...

The construction industry contributes significantly to global emissions. In response to the growing concern about climate change, new methods are being developed to reduce these emissions. Building with timber is one such approach, as it can be CO2 neutral if reforestation is practiced. Timber is a lightweight and flexible material compared to...

Dual-phase (DP) steels are an important class of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) and constitute a major share of steels for the automotive industry. A microstructure consisting of hard martensite embedded in a soft ferritic matrix gives them a good combination of strength and ductility. The martensite formation in the microstructure from...

The Flying V is a flying wing aircraft consisting of two pressurised passenger cabins placed in a V shape. Its longitudinal and lateral control is ensured via elevons and split flaps on the outboard wing, and rudders on the tip-mounted winglets. The goal of this study is to devise a design for the outboard wing of the Flying V through a...

A popular class of methods for solving Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) problems computationally are the moving mesh deformation methods. These methods generally involve deforming the fluid domain so that it conforms to the structure as it undergoes changes. An efficient and robust moving mesh technique involves interpolation of displacements...

In recent years, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in a large number of societally relevant, real-world problems, e.g., in the domains of engineering and health care. The field of Evolutionary Computation (EC) can be considered to be a sub-field of AI, concerning optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), which...

This thesis comprises of vertical deformation differences in high-rise structures where a concrete stability core is combined with a timber frame. The timber frame consists out of prefab timber modules which derive all lateral stability from the concrete core. Due to contrasting elastic, hygroexpansion and viscoelastic properties there is a...

This study aims to experimentally investigate the autogenous deformation and the stress evolution in restrained high-volume ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) concrete. The Temperature Stress Testing Machine (TSTM) and Autogenous Deformation Testing Machine (ADTM) were used to study the macro-scale autogenous deformation and stress...

Monitoring the deformations of immersed tunnels is important during the entire tunnel service life to assess the structural integrity of the tunnel. Conventional joint deformation monitoring is based on manual levelling measurements and normally occurs only at multi-year intervals, which does not allow to capture short term deformation...
