Slagter, Jens (author)This research develops a spatial transformation model to work as a tool to address all possible layouts that can be expected when a building is changed. This tool provides tangible answers to the different spatial configuration possibilities of an apartment that can exist within one building design. It combines existing knowledge about the...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Stefan (author)The flight tests which are part of the certification procedure that prove that no flutter occurs within the flight envelope are fraught with risk. To reduce the risk, numerous numerical analyses, wind tunnel and ground tests are performed, which together with the flight tests result in a long and costly test programme.<br/><br/>To reduce the...master thesis 2023

Koshakji, Anwar (author), Chomette, Grégoire (author), Turner, Jeffrey (author), Jablonski, Jonathan (author), Haynes, Aisha (author), Carlucci, Donald (author), Giovanardi, Bianca (author), Radovitzky, Raúl A. (author)The dynamic response of flexible filaments immersed in viscous fluids is important in cell mechanics, as well as other biological and industrial processes. In this paper, we propose a parallel computational framework to simulate the fluid-structure interactions in large assemblies of highly-flexible filaments immersed in a viscous fluid. We...journal article 2023

Lyu, Tianshuai (author), Dorenbos, P. (author), Wei, Zhanhua (author)Developing X-ray charged dosimeters with excellent charge carrier storage capacity and stability is challenging. Such energy storage dosimeters have fascinating use in developing novel applications, for instance, in radiation detection, advanced multimode anti-counterfeiting, and flexible X-ray imaging of curved objects. Herein, novel LiTaO...journal article 2023

Xin, Jianbin (author), Wei, Liuqian (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Zhang, Fangfang (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Operations of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are desired to be more energy-efficient while maintaining high transport productivity, motivated by the green production requirements. This paper investigates a new energy-efficient planning problem for determining conflict-free paths of the AGVs in its transport roadmap. In this problem, the...journal article 2023

Li, Tianqi (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)The periodic train timetable is one of the most widely used train timetables in passenger railway systems worldwide. However, how to expand well-coordinated daily train services from a single-period timetable pattern is rarely studied. This paper develops a multi-objective mixed integer programming model to solve the periodic train timetable...abstract 2023

Hao, R. (author), Zhang, Yuxiao (author), Ma, Wanjing (author), Yu, Chunhui (author), Sun, Tuo (author), van Arem, B. (author)With the development of internet of vehicles and automated driving, individual-based trajectory control at intersections becomes possible. Trajectory planning and coordination for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have been studied at isolated “signal-free” intersections and in “signal-free” corridors under the fully CAV environment in...journal article 2023

van Teeffelen, Jop (author)The demand for online shopping has grown tremendously in the last couple of years. Picnic, a major player in the online grocery industry, is struggling to achieve long-term growth within its current operations. Scheduling and planning are key drivers for maintaining operational efficiency. The Fulfilment Centre (FC) and...master thesis 2022

van Doorn, Victor (author)Future energy systems are expected to rely increasingly more on distributed energy resources (DER). Prosumers that own energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) generation and energy storage systems, will play a crucial role in the realization of DER’s in future power systems. Limited grid connections due to local electricity congestion make it...master thesis 2022

Gusain, D. (author)The transition to sustainable energy iswell underway and is introducing changes on both sides of the electricity balance scale – generation and demand. On the generation side, emissions-free renewable generation resources such as wind and solar are replacing the pollution-emitting thermal power plants. On the demand side, energy sectors...doctoral thesis 2022

Brok, Leon (author)The La Plata Basin is the second largest drainage basin in South America. The Paraná River, the basin’s main river, discharges into the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina. In the Lower Paraná Delta, near the deltaic front, a complex system of mostly natural and some man-made channels redistribute a part of the river flow. Like the river and...master thesis 2022

Pearse, Oliver (author)During the start-up and shutdown sequence of rocket engines, immense forces are generated that are required to propel the payload into earth's orbit or outer space. The bulk of the generated forces are in the form of thrust. However, forces are also generated that act perpendicularly to the thrust direction. These side-loads are unwanted...master thesis 2022

Evans, Michael (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Angeli, David (author)This paper proposes a framework for the procurement of flexibility reserve from aggregated storage fleets. It allows for arbitrary tree structures of aggregation hierarchy, as well as easily implementable disaggregation via broadcast dispatch. By coupling discharge and recovery modes, the proposed framework enables full-cycle capacity to be...journal article 2022
