Knibbe, Jelle (author)This thesis presents a novel methodology to determine the reliability of cantilever grandstands under dynamic crowd loading. No method currently exists to evaluate this, despite the occurrence of significant vibrations in such structures, for example in the Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam. These vibrations can negatively affect both the safety...master thesis 2023

Kweldam, Edwin (author)The increase of demand for offshore wind energy resulted in an increase of larger wind turbines. These turbines are often placed on top of a monopile (MP) substructure. The conventional method for installing these MPs uses a jack-up vessel. However, due to the local bathymetry and soil conditions. This method has its drawbacks, such as...master thesis 2023

Scheeper, Tom (author)Wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs) are ships that are specifically designed to install offshore wind turbines. These WTIVs have four or six large truss-like legs that are lowered towards the seabed by means of jacking systems. These jacking systems are regulated by control systems to ensure the leg is lowered with a constant velocity...master thesis 2023

Gajjar, Kishan (author)As wind turbines get bigger and bigger, the simulation of wind turbines becomes more complex. The increase in size brings about a multitude of intricate challenges that must be addressed in the simulation process. These challenges lie in the different aspects of the simulations such as aerodynamics, structural dynamics, power electronics,...master thesis 2023

Formidabile, Martina (author)TOP contoured nozzles, with large area-ratios, are commonly employed in rocket propulsion systems as they feature an excellent thrust-to-weight ratio. A significant shortcoming to this design is that, during the startup and shutdown transients of a LRE, the internal nozzle flow progresses through a series of overexpanded flow states - Free Shock...master thesis 2023

van der Spek, Joep (author)Reducing the levelised cost of energy is crucial to accelerating the energy transition. To develop offshore wind solutions in greater water depths, a floating solution is required. The time-domain simulations of these Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) under wind-wave misalignment used in research and industry projects are computationally...master thesis 2022

Appelman, Stef (author)Human-induced rhythmic loading is an increasingly critical aspect in the design process of civil engineering structures such as sports stadiums and floors accommodating gym and aerobic classes. There are two main reasons for this trend. First, structures are becoming more slender with improvements in materials and construction techniques and...master thesis 2022

Kraaijenbrink, Lennart (author)With the rise of hydrogen as a green alternative for fossil fuels, the demand for storage capacity of hydrogen increases significantly. Due to the high risk of explosions in urban environments it brings along, the blast analysis of buildings within in range of the explosions becomes more relevant.<br/><br/>The goal of this research is to develop...master thesis 2022

Kooijman, Rick (author)The Circular Arch Bridge is a pedestrian bridge consisting out of four different recycled materials: cast glass, ceramic, circument and geopolymer concrete. Due to an increasing amount of vibration problems in modern pedestrian bridges they should not only be designed for static loads, but dynamic loads have to be considered as well. There are...master thesis 2022

Kleiberg, Joachim (author)The ability to predict the fatigue of flood gates due to dynamic wave loading is becoming increasingly important as coasts and waterways worldwide are being reinforced to suit a changing climate. There are few comprehensive ways to do so however, which often leads to conservative estimates. This thesis presents an integral framework with which...master thesis 2021

Ouchene, Bilal (author)Areas of railways with considerable variation of track properties encountered near structures such as bridges and tunnels are referred to as transition zones. Degradation rates at these transition zones are higher compared to the remaining railways. These high degradation rates result in high maintenance expenses. In order to come up with...master thesis 2021

Bussemakers, Matthijs (author)Climate change, as a result from global warming, requires an energy transition: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and a radical innovation of the global energy system to proceed apace. Offshore wind is an important source of clean, renewable energy, and it plays a key role in the transition. 80% of the worldwide...master thesis 2020

Schut, Gerwin (author)The prediction of structural vibrations in vibration sensitive laboratory structures is a complex problem involving computationally heavy 3D models with long computational times. However, in the early design phases of a project long computational times are undesirable. Therefore the problem statement of this Master thesis concerns the...master thesis 2019

Verlinde, Ronald (author)Offshore wind energy is considered a necessary energy resource, that may stimulate the transition from fossil fuels. Following the successful development in Western Europe, offshore wind is quickly gaining momentum in the Asia-Pacific region. At variance with North-Sea based offshore wind turbines (OWTs), structures installed in the Asia-Pacific...master thesis 2019

Mangat, Naunidh (author)Wind energy has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuel energy sources over the last two decades partly due to considerable reductions in the cost of power production. A common trend towards cost reduction has been to build larger and lighter wind turbines. These produce more power per unit and use less material. Another strategy for...master thesis 2019

Brakel, Luuk (author)In this thesis a preliminary design is made for a tension leg platform capable of supporting a 10 MW ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant of the coast of Curacao. The environmental conditions and bathymetry around Curacao are analyzed making use of data from the MERCATOR data base. A suitable location is selected and the 100 year wave...master thesis 2018

Hendriksen, Eduard (author)A project is under way to replace the ferry crossings in Norway's highway E39 with fixed links, such as highway bridges or tunnels. This thesis research is on the crossing located at the Sognefjord, the widest and deepest of the straight crossings in the E39 highway. Previous thesis projects at IV-Consult have yielded a design for a floating...master thesis 2018

Heuberger, Chris (author)Floating bridges are found at locations where deep water must be crossed for a long distance, such as in Norwegian fjords. The superstructure of the existing floating bridges is usually constructed from steel. In a marine environment these bridges are exposed to dynamic wave loads. As such, the current floating bridges suffer severe damage due...master thesis 2018

Djapara, Yosua (author)The trend of the slender and high-rise building has made the structure prone to dynamic loading. This thesis is focused on the dynamic behavior of the high-rise building subjected to wind action. The acceleration becomes a limiting criterion in designing such structure which can be categorized as the comfort criteria of the building. Nausea and...master thesis 2017
