Wróbel, Przemysław (author)Over the years the introduction of new Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software into the design process allowed engineers to significantly shorten the time necessary to produce finished designs. There seems to be an agreement that using CAE tools shortens the time of the design process and improves the quality of finished products. Although,...master thesis 2023

Sewcharan, Ashish (author)Port of Rotterdam has the ambition to reduce the footprint for building new quay walls, this is in line with their ambition to reduce the footprint and with national goals to limit global warming. The aim is to use less materials and/or use different design solutions. These reinforced structures are designed in a conventional way and the...master thesis 2023

van Doormaal, Thijn (author)The demand for offshore wind energy has never been higher, yet the number of ideal areas for wind farm installations is decreasing. As a result, larger wind turbines are being placed in deeper waters, which poses opportunities for floating foundations. However, due to the industry's inability to scale up the production of relatively expensive...master thesis 2023

Gísladóttir, Lára (author)Crownwalls are often placed on top of vertical composite breakwaters to reduce overtopping. Adding a seawards facing overhang at the top of crownwalls has successfully reduced overtopping even further without increasing the freeboard of the crownwall. Crownwalls with a fully curved (FC) face are most often used in seawalls where they are...master thesis 2023

Weiler, Marnix (author)During ‘float-out’ installation of export cables, the cable is pulled to shore while floating, supported by inflatable floaters. Understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour of these cable-floater-systems (CFS’s) is important, to be able to relate the hydraulic environment to the cable stresses and determine the maximum allowed hydraulic conditions...master thesis 2023

van Dooren, K.S. (author), Tijs, B.H.A.H. (author), Waleson, J. E.A. (author), Bisagni, C. (author)Two aeronautical thermoplastic composite stiffened panels are analysed and tested to investigate the buckling behaviour, the skin-stringer separation and the final failure mode. The panels are made of fast crystallising polyetherketoneketone carbon composite, have three stringers with an angled cap on one side, and are joined to the skin by a...journal article 2023

Saeedifar, M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Krairi, Anouar (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)The present study proposes a comprehensive integrity assessment approach for a full-scale adhesively-bonded bi-material joint for maritime applications. The joint represents a cross-section of the bond-line connection of a ship with a steel hull and a sandwich composite superstructure. The full-scale joint consists of a sandwich composite...journal article 2023

Knuppe, Joep (author)Increasing housing demand in Europe and the need to be more sustainable are asking the construction industry to leave the traditional pathways and innovate. An emerging construction method with volumetric timber modules potentially offers the solution. However little is known about the robustness of this new innovation. Therefore, this thesis...master thesis 2022

Zandbergen, Anouk (author)Commercial finite element software like COMSOL is build to be user-friendly. For example, the user does not have to find weak formulations, or discretise the partial differential equations by hand. One of the more difficult parts of using finite element software is deciding which solver method and solver parameters to choose, as the performance...master thesis 2022

Tjernshaugen, Aurora (author)That mechanical properties of the extracellular environment can influence cell behaviour has already been established. Recent studies indicate that human mesenchymal stem cells are affected by the surface curvature of the underlying substrate. However, how meso-scale substrate curvature affects cell behaviour is still not clear. This study...master thesis 2022

de Vlieger, Tim (author)Offshore lifting operations must have reduced payload motion to increase safety and reduce operating time. When payload is retrieved from the splash zone to the deck, besides the crane block, no additional control can be applied on the underactuated system. Existing studies either assume more control over the payload or develop a control system...master thesis 2022

Singh, Ajaypal (author)Bicycle disc brake noise and vibration, which usually falls in the frequency range of 0-2 kHz, is a principal braking quality attribute that has started to attract significant interest from bicycle manufacturers. Brake noise is an irritant to their customers, who see it as a symptom of a defective brake and that leads to unnecessary warranty...master thesis 2022

Georgoulopoulou, Mariana (author)The present research investigates the potential of timber-glass composites in unitized curtain wall façade applications. Hybrid aluminum-timber curtain walls and timber-glass composites are explored, while specific design criteria, timber and adhesive limitations and unique material properties are defined. A geometry study is conducted though...master thesis 2022

de Voogd, Rein (author)Monopiles with large diameter (larger than 6 m) and low aspect ratio (less than 6) are increasingly used in offshore wind farms. These foundations demonstrate a rigid response under lateral loading. The validity of the existing design methods, that are based on small diameter flexible piles, has been questioned by both the industry and...master thesis 2022

de Winter, Naomi (author)Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition in adolescents affecting the proximal femur. Increased mechanical forces result in fracture of the growth plate. Factors increasing the mechanical forces include for example obesity and endocrine disorders. As a result of the fracture a shift of the bone shaft towards the femur head occurs,...master thesis 2022

Rosado Bailon, Gisela (author)The safety of a commercial aircraft is a factor to consider from the early stages of its design to guarantee that this one's structure can protect the occupants inside in a low-speed crash. In an aircraft's primary structure such as a fuselage, where the occupants and cargo should be protected, the design regulations imposed by the EASA have...master thesis 2022

Kleisiaris, Georgios (author)The need for sustainable solutions in the energy sector has led to the rapid increase of offshore windfarms around the globe. The areas with ideal soil conditions are gradually being occupied, pushing the offshore wind industry to search for methods of installing wind turbines in hard terrain. So far, the installation of monopiles in weak rock,...master thesis 2022
