Tjeerdsma, Michiel (author)Reducing greenhouse emissions can be achieved by better insulating buildings. However, wall thickness increases significantly if conventional insulation materials are used. Conventional vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) offer a solution to this problem. VIPs have potential, but can not compete with conventional insulation materials due to their...master thesis 2022

Li, M. (author), Aschenbrenner, D. (author), van Tol, D.H. (author), van Eijk, D.J. (author), Vink, P. (author)For designing large-scale products like an airplane, engaging end-users in the concept phase is difficult. However, early user evaluation is important to choose the path which fits the user’s needs best. In particular, comfort-related assessments are difficult to conduct with digital models that are shown on a desktop PC application. Digital...conference paper 2022

Bronkhorst, Philip (author)The growth in the offshore wind industry sees an increased demand for offshore service vessels (OSVs). These vessels often operate in harsh conditions, and their performance is heavily dependent on their seakeeping characteristics. Conventional ship design processes fail to effectively consider seakeeping early in the design process, leading to...master thesis 2021

Haringa, Jaap (author)The intermodal transportation transport is used to ship goods from A to B all over the world using different modes of transportation. The intermodal freight relies on the use of standardized containers for this transport. All empty containers need to be shipped back to the areas where there is a demand for empty containers. Since a standard...master thesis 2021

Karličić, Arso (author)A large number of light, modular topsides in the southern North Sea is planned to be removed in the near future. Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) is currently not the most competitive in this market as smaller contractors can often provide cheaper removal solutions with the use of smaller heavy lift vessels. HMC therefore aims to find a more...master thesis 2021

Alvita, R. (author)Due to the increase of global containerized trade and container vessel sizes, the necessity of container terminal development is unavoidable. On the other hand, designing a container terminal is a very complex process, and on a concept design phase, a quick assessment for the design alternatives should be done in a limited time, cost, and effort...master thesis 2020

Martens, Roland (author)Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) has been heavily researched and developed over the last decade. However, no commercial scale for OTEC has been reached yet. OTEC is a clean and renewable source of energy which utilizes the seawater temperature difference between the upper and deep ocean layers to generate electricity. The heat exchangers...master thesis 2020

Winkel, S. (author)In the current breakwater design process, not all feasible concepts can be explored due to time constraints. However, designers are also influenced by breakwaters constructed near, or at the same location as their breakwater project. But also conservative assumptions influence the breakwater design process, for instance, regarding the wave...master thesis 2020
