Francken, Felix (author), van Batenburg, Tobias (author), Langeveld, Bram (author), Jhinkoe-Rai, Suryand (author), Rahan, Tyra (author)The coastal area of the Murcia region in Spain experiences more frequent and more intense flash floods caused by inland heavy rainfall due to climate change. This results in high water levels in towns and cities, leading to risk of loss of life and many financial damages. Currently the region is vulnerable, because there are no hydraulic...student report 2022

Beekman, Elwin (author)Background: With around 70 supermarkets, Hoogvliet is one of the smaller supermarkets in the Netherlands. During the past years, more companies have become aware of the importance of efficient reversed logistics (Senthil et al., 2018). By optimizing this return flow, the return hall of supermarkets plays an important role. With the expected...master thesis 2022

Borghans, Jaap (author)The objective of this research is to design and evaluate a new type of rolling gate for the Western lock (Westsluis) in Terneuzen, for which all sensitive and heavily loaded mechanical parts are both easily accessible and located above water. Having all mechanical parts above water not only makes them easier to inspect and maintain, but it also...master thesis 2021

van Essen, Kees (author)This research introduces the concept of Universal Prefab (UP), a highly modular building system which uses only prefabricated elements to realise building designs. The discrete structural elements are connected with a standardized connection throughout the entire structure that allows for quick assembly, increasing the efficiency of construction...master thesis 2021

Onwuachu, Robbert (author)The combination of continuous sea level rise, and more frequent extreme river discharges will become a rapidly developing problem for the Rhine-Meuse delta over the course of the next century. The current Dutch delta management policy mostly revolves around the consistent improvement of the existing dikes to account for the increasing water...master thesis 2021

Vonhoff, George (author)The demand for air travel is increasing as more people gain access to commercial aviation. As the current generation of aircraft makes use of fossil fuel combustion, this growth results in an increase in the global emissions. This is at odds with the worldwide efforts of reducing the adverse effects of climate change. Therefore, advanced...master thesis 2021

James, Michael (author)The Segment barrier is a conceptual design for a storm surge barrier consisting of individual concrete segments which can be combined to form a barrier. The structure is designed with the ability to expand in size to deal with the uncertainties of global mean sea level rise by stacking the individual segments into various configurations. At its...master thesis 2021

Djokikj, Jelena (author), Rizov, Tashko (author), Jovanova, J. (author)Smart material graspers have shown potential for different applications in terms of functionality and actuation, especially in handling arbitrary shapes, fragile objects and complex 3D geometries. However, to take these initial designs further towards real applications, the challenge remains to determine the optimal size, shape, and passive...conference paper 2021

Gonçalves, M. (author), Cash, Philip (author)Ideation is simultaneously one of the most investigated and most intriguing aspects of design. The reasons for this attention are partly due to its importance in design and innovation, and partly due to an array of conflicting results and explanations. In this study, we develop an integrative perspective on individual ideation by combining...journal article 2021
