De Weerdt, B.J. (author)This study has as main objective to `make recommendations for improvement of the objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the Sand Engine'. The Frame of Reference methodology, a tool developed by Van Koningsveld (2003), is used to map the evaluation of effectiveness. This approach is used descriptively as well as prescriptively. A...master thesis 2015

Alexandrescu, M. (author)In this project I take begin from two points: the frame, and a particular site in Bucharest, Romania. The specific site is the territory surrounding the House of the People, whose construction started in 1986. this building is the third largest building on earth, and built as part of a project for a new civic centre, for which the preparations...master thesis 2015

Wu, L. (author), Tiso, P. (author)An effective reduction technique is presented for flexible multibody systems, for which the elastic deflection could not be considered small. We consider here the planar beam systems undergoing large elastic rotations, in the floating frame description. The proposed method enriches the classical linear reduction basis with modal derivatives...journal article 2015

Arecco, P.H.E. (author)Waterborne transport infrastructures play a crucial role in global integration, and ports are key components to materialise this amalgamation. However they are constantly challenged to keep fulfilling their functions in a changing environment. Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe and the Western hemisphere too, faces those challenges on...master thesis 2015

Van der Steen, J. (author), Coenders, J.L. (author), Pasterkamp, S. (author), Rolvink, A. (author), Van Steekelenburg, J. (author)This paper presents a proof of concept study into a computational strategy for reusing structural stadium elements. The strategy goal is overcoming the reuse design strain through implementation of a genetic algorithm. This algorithm is calibrated to search for a structural frame configuration, while using a reusable element set, meeting floor...conference paper 2015

Zhang, Z. (author)The graduation project is a research for the architectural model of a dwelling complex which discusses the transitional space between public and private. It sits in the city of Amsterdam, with the potential to surpass the context and presents the future way of living. The concept of 'the framed transition' penetratesn from the scale of urban...master thesis 2015

Mirtsopoulos, I. (author)Ever since the idea of truss structures was conceived and later were expanded into three dimensional structures forming space frames, jointing has been a challenge. The evolution of jointing systems includes three main methods: connection with a node, connection with a prefabricated unit and connection without a node (e.g. welding). Delving more...master thesis 2015

Hummelen, J.C. (author)In this thesis a particular structural system for high-rise structures is discussed: the prefabricated concrete framed tube and tube-in-tube structures. These system consist of a prefabricated concrete perforated elements in the perimeter of the structure that are the main lateral load resisting elements in the building. For tube-in-tube...master thesis 2015

De Jongh, J.O. (author)The development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in energy-intensive industries (EnIIs) in the EU is currently stalling while many recognize its importance for reducing CO2 emissions. The socio-technical system of CCS in EnIIs is characterized by resource interdependencies, conflicting interests and diverging perspectives on problems and...master thesis 2014

Wu, L. (author), Tiso, P. (author)Model order reduction techniques are widely applied in the floating frame of reference. The use of linear vibration modes, however, is not applicable when the elastic deformations become finite. In this paper, the non-linear elastic formulation, where the higher-order terms will be included in the strain energy expression to consider the bending...conference paper 2014

Kraus, J. (author)The modelling of brittle fracture is essential for the assessment of structural safety. It remains a challenge due to sharp material softening after realization of the material strength. Standard nonlinear finite element analysis techniques using incremental-iterative solution procedures have been adapted to deal with the sharp softening curves...master thesis 2014

Segrave, A.J. (author)The decisions people make, and the actions they take, depend on how they conceptualize and experience time. This fundamental and influential factor is seldom acknowledged, little understood, and rarely considered explicitly in planning; be that for the material systems or the knowledge systems in the water sector. The objectives of the research...doctoral thesis 2014

(author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author)The carotid artery (CA) is central to cardiovascular research, because of the clinical relevance of CA plaques as culprits of stroke and the accessibility of the CA for cardiovascular screening. The viscoelastic state of this artery, essential for clinical evaluation, can be assessed by observing arterial deformation in response to the...journal article 2014
