Raju Kulkarni, A. (author)By 2050, the aviation industry is expected to grow by 250-300% of its current air traffic. If left unchecked, the corresponding increase in atmospheric and noise pollution will have a catastrophic impact on the environment. Thus, improvements in aircraft design are urgently needed for a sustainable growth of the aviation industry. The...doctoral thesis 2022

del Rivero Cortázar, Aitor (author)The need to understand how the brain works has sparked interest in electrode arrays to record neural signals. Intracellular recordings with nanoelectrodes that penetrate the cell allow better signal quality and additional functions such as voltage clamping to set the neuron's transmembrane voltage. The voltage clamp aims to facilitate the...master thesis 2021

Yu, J. (author), Abu Lebdeh, M.F.M. (author), Du Nguyen, H.A. (author), Taouil, M. (author), Hamdioui, S. (author)A novel type of hardware accelerators called automata processors (APs) have been proposed to accelerate finite-state automata. The bone structure of an AP is a hierarchical routing matrix that connects many memory arrays. With this structure, an AP can process an input symbol every clock cycle, and hence achieve much higher performance...journal article 2021

Alvita, R. (author)Due to the increase of global containerized trade and container vessel sizes, the necessity of container terminal development is unavoidable. On the other hand, designing a container terminal is a very complex process, and on a concept design phase, a quick assessment for the design alternatives should be done in a limited time, cost, and effort...master thesis 2020

Valentine, David (author)The advent of a society in which autonomous technology coexists with humans is an inevitability. The project focuses on one such autonomous technology in the form of autonomous vehicles or self driving cars. The benefits of such automation is well documented in academia and is supported by the investment by some of the biggest automobile and...master thesis 2020

Winkel, S. (author)In the current breakwater design process, not all feasible concepts can be explored due to time constraints. However, designers are also influenced by breakwaters constructed near, or at the same location as their breakwater project. But also conservative assumptions influence the breakwater design process, for instance, regarding the wave...master thesis 2020

Zhu, Z. (author), la Rocca, G. (author), Zheng, Yao (author), Chen, Jianjun (author)Routing design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) is time-consuming and error-prone. A solution, which automatically routes the EWIS inside the aircraft Digital MockUp (DMU), has been proposed and presented in the previous publications. The DMU, however, includes over-detailed features, which hardly influence the...journal article 2020

Koster, Piebe (author)The design of a container terminal is a process that goes through a number of phases. One of the first is the concept design phase, which is needed to make a first assessment of the project's technical and financial feasibility. This phase is exploratory of nature, because of the early stage in the design cycle and consists of several tasks that...master thesis 2019

Banerji, Sagarika (author)With improvements in aviation technology, design requirements to be full-filled have also increased exponentially. This in turn influences the complexity of design process, along with the time and effort required for it. The problem, for this research, has been set up with respect to challenges faced at Fokker Aerostructures, during in-proposal...master thesis 2018

van Gent, I. (author), Lombardi, R. (author), la Rocca, G. (author), d'Ippolito, R (author)In this paper, a methodology to connect the multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization (MDAO) problem formulation tool KADMOS and the commercial Process Integration and Design Optimization (PIDO) platform Optimus is presented. This capability has been developed in the context of the EU project AGILE. The aim of this development is to...conference paper 2017

Zhu, Z. (author)Harness 3D routing is one of the most challenging steps in the design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS), due to the intrinsic complexity of the EWIS, the increasing number of applying design constraints, and its dependency on the design changes of the airframe and installed systems. The current routing process employed...doctoral thesis 2016

Sönmez, N.O. (author), Erdem, A. (author)Most evolutionary computation (EC) applications in design fields either assume simplified, static, performance-oriented procedures for design or focus on well-defined sub-problems, to be able to impose problem-solving and optimization schemes on design tasks, which render known EC techniques directly applicable. However, in most design...journal article 2014

Coutinho, F. (author), Mateus, L. (author), Duarte, J.P. (author), Ferreira, V. (author), Kruger, M. (author)This paper describes a generative design approach integrating real building data in the process of developing a shape grammar. The goal is to assess to which extent it is feasible the use of a reverse engineering procedure to acquire actual building data and what kind of impact it may have on the development of a shape grammar.The paper...conference paper 2013

Van Dijk, R.E.C. (author), Zhao, X. (author), Wang, H. (author), Van Dalen, F. (author)Competitive aircraft box structures are a perfect compromise between weight and price. The conceptual design process of these structures is a typical Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization effort, normally conducted by human engineers. The iterative nature of MDO turns development into a long and costly process. Knowledge-Based Engineering...conference paper 2012

Schut, E.J. (author)In order to keep innovating, engineers are working more and more with engineering software, providing them a way to cut away their routine and repetitive activities. Computer aided design and simulation software are for instance considered standard tools in most engineering companies. Today, to solve complex engineering design problems,...doctoral thesis 2010

Bittermann, M.S. (author)Design is complex. This is because it involves conflicting goals that are often vague. Also, prior to the design it is generally not clear how important goals are relative to each other. And finally the amount of possible solutions is large in general. These bottlenecks are addressed in this thesis. A novel approach for design is proposed, where...doctoral thesis 2009

Ditzel, M. (author)Chip designers face increasingly complex designs and multiple competing design objectives and constraints. Early in the design cycle, a designer has to make choices relying on insufficient or inaccurate information. For instance, the designer has to decide which parts to implement in software and which in hardware. The complexity of the designs...doctoral thesis 2004
