Vargalui, A. (author)Acoustic Emission (AE) based structural health monitoring systems have the potential to assess the state of metallic / composite structures and detect damage in real time as it grows. This is done by monitoring the Lamb waves that occur due to the release of energy and the specific boundary conditions. Environmental and Operational Conditions ...master thesis 2015

Gao, H. (author)Allseas Engineering bv is an engineering center of the Allseas group, a major player in the offshore pipe lay market and recently expanding the activities to the offshore heavy lift sector. Because of the necessity to design and build lifting structures and equipment of a tremendously high capacity, the demand for high-strength steels usage has...doctoral thesis 2014

Cvoric, D. (author), Lahaye, D. (author), De Haan, S.W.H. (author), Ferreira, J.A. (author)Due to increasing levels of fault currents, Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) are expected to play an important role in the protection of future power grids. Inductive saturable FCLs are particularly interesting due to their inherent reaction on the fault. Many different configurations have been proposed in literature. Being difficult or impossible...report 2013

Van den Hoogen, M.G.M. (author)An unpublished study by Prof. A.W. Beeby shows the differences in strength capacity between a reinforced concrete beam without shear reinforcement and the same beam with a cut-out section at the middle of the span. The cut-out section exists at the bottom part of the beam while the reinforcement still remains. It remarkably turns out that the...master thesis 2013

Pauli, A. (author), Schmets, A.J.M. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Varveri, K. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)Bituminous materials form a class of materials that possess the intrinsic ability to selfheal. This self-healing capability is evidenced by the observation that the service life of these materials in the field exceeds the service life as predicted by standard mechanical laboratory tests. This mismatch between laboratory prediction and field...conference paper 2013

(author)Bituminous materials form a class of materials that possess the intrinsic ability to selfheal. This self-healing capability is evidenced by the observation that the service life of these materials ‘in the field’ exceeds the service life as predicted by standard mechanical laboratory tests. This mismatch between laboratory prediction and field...conference paper 2013

Engin, H.K. (author)One of the most traditional methods for supporting structures resting on soft soils is the use of piles. They generally work by transferring the loads to deeper soil layers, which can provide sufficient bearing capacity when mobilised. This type of foundations has been commonly used throughout the world and also in the western part of the...doctoral thesis 2013

Cui, H. (author)This thesis has involved the development of an unstructured grid ocean model, H2Ocean, with accurate flooding and drying algorithms for tsunami studies. The research is co-funded by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, as part of their contribution to the German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System, which is installed...doctoral thesis 2013

Muris, V.L.C. (author)Industrial buildings, used as warehouses or distribution centres, are characterized by large doors which are opened temporarily or for longer periods. A new technique - called Ambergy - is investigated which prevents unnecessary energy loss through open overhead doors in heated industrial halls. This technique consists of a smart coupling...master thesis 2013

Chiriboga Arroyo, P.G. (author)Preventing vibration damage from occurring to valuable and sensitive canvas paintings is of main concern for museums and art conservation institutions. This concern has grown in recent years due to the increasing demand of paintings for exhibitions worldwide and the concomitant need for their handling and transport. The vibration of the canvas...doctoral thesis 2013

Auriac, A. (author), Spaans, K.H. (author), Sigmundsson, F. (author), Hooper, A. (author), Schmidt, P. (author), Lund, B. (author)A broad uplift occurs in Iceland in response to the retreat of ice caps, which began circa 1890. Until now, this deformation signal has been measured primarily using GPS at points some distance away from the ice caps. Here, for the first time we use satellite radar interferometry (interferometric synthetic aperture radar) to constrain uplift of...journal article 2013

Strijker, G. (author)Natural fractures occur over several orders of size magnitude. Accurately predicting the three-dimensional and multi-scale distribution of fractures in subsurface reservoirs is very difficult. Direct observations are limited to large-scale faults visible on seismic data and high-resolution, mostly small-scale, measurements of fractures...doctoral thesis 2013

Qiu, J. (author), Van de Ven, M.F.C. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author), Wu, S. (author), Molenaar, A.A.A. (author)The traffic volume and the number of heavy vehicles are growing enormously nowadays. There is a need for designing a durable asphalt pavement with innovative technologies. Pavement structures and materials with self healing and self repairing capability are believed to be very useful in such a system. This paper is aiming to understand the self...conference paper 2012

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

Griffiths, D.V. (author), Paiboon, J. (author), Huang, J. (author), Fenton, G.A. (author)The classical problem of a beam on an elastic foundation has long been of practical interest to geotechnical engineers, because it provides a framework for computing deflections not only of foundations, but also of vertically oriented laterally loaded piles. The supporting soil can be modelled as an elastic medium, which can be calibrated to...journal article 2012

Qiu, J. (author)Traffic is increasing rapidly in terms of number of vehicles and also in axle loads. In order to maximize the availability of the pavement and to minimize hindrances to traffic because of maintenance works, long life pavements are needed. An asphalt pavement with self repairing capabilities is believed to be very useful to this respect. The self...doctoral thesis 2012

Grognet, M.F. (author)More than the half of the Netherlands is under the high level of sea and rivers. Therefore, evaluating the safety of dykes is primordial. A specific interest is given to peat dykes safety which suffer of a lack of knowledge which manifested recently by some peat dykes failures (Van Baars 2005). The behaviour of peat is also of interest in others...master thesis 2011
