Kisjes, K.H. (author)Continuous economic growth, ignoring the incidental recession, is currently still coupled with increases in the use of resources and generation of wastes. The European Commission (EC) is looking for ways to achieve absolute decoupling between economic growth and environmental impacts. A shift from product-based to function-based production and...master thesis 2014

Baruah, Namrata (author)In building design, the structural design is usually incorporated in the latter stages of the design, and the computational tools currently available focus more on converging and optimizing a single solution rather than providing an opportunity for the designer to explore design ideas. Incorporating structural design in the initial design phases...master thesis 2022

De Ridder, M. (author)Patent examiners are under increasing pressure to quickly and accurately evaluate incoming patent applications within large databases. For each incoming patent application, they first extract a subset of possibly relevant patents through keyword-based search queries. These results are summarized in long lists, which provide only minimal...master thesis 2011

Tanwar, Gautam (author)Quadrangular Grid shells have generated interest in recent years for their application in rationalizing free form geometry in the built environment. Shell structure are efficient because their form is governed by flow of internal forces. But while discretizing shells into grid shells, instead of using flow of forces, current method follows...master thesis 2019
