Turrin, M. (author), Von Buelow, P. (author), Kilian, A. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)In this paper we address the design of large roof structures by integrating interdisciplinary performance evaluations in the early stages of the design process. Specific focus is given to structural and solar energy related performances. Geometry is stressed as a key interface between the different disciplines. Parametric modelling is used to...conference paper 2010

Tang, X. (author), Bassir, D.H. (author), Zhang, W. (author)In this work, we explore simultaneous designs of materials selection and structural optimization. As the material selection turns out to be a discrete process that finds the optimal distribution of materials over the design domain, it cannot be performed with common gradient-based optimization methods. In this paper, material selection is...journal article 2010

Dave, D. (author)As we move towards an aging population, it is likely that an increasing number of people will require an increasing diversity of implants, but at a lower cost to the society. Also, as computer technology progresses, smaller, more powerful, and less battery intensive implants can be designed. However, present implant design methodology is highly...master thesis 2010

De Bakker, F.F. (author)The project addresses cost savings and productivity improvement by pooling of resources between independent companies through multi-agent, bargaining-based decision methods. Cost savings are realized by optimizing plans across companies, while the pooling decision and the benefit distribution is done by bargaining. Applications with these...master thesis 2009

De Ridder, S. (author)The unpowered entry of a winged re-entry vehicle, such as the HORUS-2B, consists of a hypersonic atmospheric re-entry phase, a Terminal Area Energy Management (TAEM) phase and a approach and landing phase. The TAEM is the subject of this thesis study. During the TAEM, the vehicle is brought to the correct interface position with the landing...master thesis 2009

Hulsman, M. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author), De Ridder, D. (author)In recent years, more and more high-throughput data sources useful for protein complex prediction have become available (e.g., gene sequence, mRNA expression, and interactions). The integration of these different data sources can be challenging. Recently, it has been recognized that kernel-based classifiers are well suited for this task. However...journal article 2008

Kumar, P. (author), Bauer, P. (author)This work focuses on a design methodology that aids in design and development of complex engineering systems. This design methodology consists of simulation, optimization and decision making. Within this work a framework is presented in which modelling, multi-objective optimization and multi criteria decision making techniques are used to design...journal article 2008

Seresta, O. (author)This research work deals with the design and optimization of a large composite structure. In design of large structural systems, it is customary to divide the problem into many smaller independent/semi-independent local design problems. The use of composite necessitates the inclusion of ply angles as design variables. These design variables are...doctoral thesis 2007

Peigin, S. (author), Epstein, B. (author)Blended Wing Body (BWB) Aircraft has aroused a considerable interest as a potential candidate for future large subsonic transport air-vehicles. In this paper, we present the results of one and multi-point multi-constrained optimization of a BWB configuration for minimum total drag. The optimization technique is based on Genetic Algorithms and is...conference paper 2006

de Ruiter, M.J. (author)During the last two decades, computational structural optimization methods have emerged, as computational power increased tremendously. Designers now have topological optimization routines at their disposal. These routines are able to generate the entire geometry of structures, provided only with information on loads, supports, and space to work...doctoral thesis 2005

Vormer, F.J. (author)The thesis considers the trajectories that are used to guide aircraft from en-route flight to an airport. Although there is currently some room to adapt the trajectories to a specific situation, they are usually largely based on published standardised trajectories. In this study the potential of optimising the arrival trajectories using data...doctoral thesis 2005

Ciftcioglu, O. (author), Durmisevic, S. (author), Sariyildiz, S. (author)The last decade, civil engineering has exercised a rapidly growing interest in the application of neurally inspired computing techniques. The motive for this interest was the promises of certain information processing characteristics, which are similar to some extend, to those of human brain. The immediate examples of these include an ability to...conference paper 2001

(author)NLR participates in the ECARF (European Computation Aerodynamics Research Project) "Optimum Design" project, developing an algorithm for multi-point airfoil design. Within the ECARP project a test case has been defined for two-point design with the aid of well-specified target pressure distributions. It appears that optimization of pressure...report 1995
