van der Slikke, R.M.A. (author)Performance in wheelchair court sports is to a large extent determined by the wheelchair mobility performance, the performance measure for the wheelchair-athlete combination. So far, wheelchair mobility performance is mostly utilized as concept, rather than a well quantified measure. However, in order to gain insight in the interaction between...doctoral thesis 2018

Drenth, Paul (author)A mega-feeder nourishment is a concentrated nourishment that disperses over time due to wind, waves, and tide, and as a result ‘feeds’ its adjacent coasts. During the design phase of a nourishment, performance indicators can enable an objective comparison of a mega-feeder nourishment to alternative nourishment strategies, In the case of an...master thesis 2018

Bedon, Chiara (author), Louter, P.C. (author)In this paper, careful consideration is paid for structural glass elements under fire loading. In particular, a thermo-mechanical Finite Element (FE) numerical investigation is carried out in ABAQUS on small-scale structural glass elements exposed to fire. Taking advantage of past literature efforts, major thermal effects on the material...conference paper 2018

Fioole, Lisanne (author)A sit-snowboard is a weight supporting mechanism that allows people with lower extremity impairments to perform the sport of snowboarding. Comfort and control of the Twinrider (the only sit-snowboard on the market) are insufficient for advanced riders who reach higher speeds and ride more bumpy slopes. The goal of this study...master thesis 2018

Gelder, Elise (author)The order picking process is done item by item, and therefore it is a labour-intensive process. According to Dukic & Oluic (2005), 50% of the total order picking time is spent on unproductive traveling. The operations that need to be performed in warehouses are highly dependent on the customer demand. The customer demand shows seasonal...master thesis 2018

Boohalli Shivamallegowda, Greeshma (author)Airfoil design plays an important role in improving the performance of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines(VAWTs). The aim of this thesis is to arrive at optimal airfoil geometries to enhance the performance of VAWTs and analyse the performance of these optimal airfoils under steady and unsteady operation conditions of the rotor. The airfoil design is...master thesis 2018

Peuchen, Robert (author)Body weight support (BWS) systems are widely used in gait rehabilitation. These systems allow patients to gradually increase training intensity and promote independent walking. Currently, there is no standardized method to assess the performance of BWS systems. This work proposes methods and metrics that can be used to assess and compare any...master thesis 2018

Groeneweg, Vincent (author)Within this research the impact of system configurations is examined for a parcel sorting system. Currently, the impact of the configurations on the performance is currently unknown while no performance analysis exists which includes the whole system configuration with the expected parcel characteristics. Therefore, this research firstly...master thesis 2018

Janic, M. (author)This paper deals with modelling the dynamic resilience of rail passenger transport networks affected by large-scale disruptive events whose impacts deteriorate the networks’ planned infrastructural, operational, economic, and social-economic performances represented by the selected indicators. The indicators of infrastructural performances...journal article 2018

Sadri, M. (author), Steenbergen, M.J.M.M. (author)This paper studies the effect of railway track design parameters on the expected long-term degradation of track geometry. The study assumes a geometrically perfect and straight track along with spatial invariability, except for the presence of discrete sleepers. A frequency-domain two-layer model is used of a discretely supported rail coupled...journal article 2018

Tan, Sheng Chien (author)Over the last 50 years, the global airline industry has seen resilient growth in the demand for passenger travel; this trend is expected to continue in the coming decades. With kerosene being the predominant source used as jet fuel, this increase in air traffic is expected to result in the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels and undesired...master thesis 2018

Doeksen, Jelte (author)On all levels of rowing, a general rule is that you have to row together. Rowing together has no clear-cut definition. However, it is known that each rower has his or her own style, which can be registered in movement patterns and force curves. The big question is how to combine these individual styles such that the crew works together in the...master thesis 2018

Marcus, Pepijn (author)The research objective is to analyze the aerodynamic interaction effects and quantify the performance of over-the-wing propeller systems. To achieve this objective, two wind tunnel experiments have been performed to characterize the most important aerodynamic interaction effects of a single propeller installed over-the-wing. Results feature wing...master thesis 2018

de Souza Amorim, L.E. (author), Steindorfer, M.J. (author), Visser, Eelco (author)Context Context-free grammars are widely used for language prototyping and implementation. They allow formalizing the syntax of domain-specific or general-purpose programming languages concisely and declaratively. However, the natural and concise way of writing a context-free grammar is often ambiguous. Therefore, grammar formalisms support...journal article 2018

de Ronde, Remko (author)Future wind turbines require larger rotor blade radius, leading to an increase of rotor swept area. The larger rotor swept area results in more energy production of the wind turbine. Further increase is however limited as a result of the structural weight, which induces a large bending moment and could result in buckling of the rotor blade. An...master thesis 2018
