Uppenkamp, Gijs (author)Offshore wind farms are increasing in size and moving further from shore. Service operation vessels (SOVs) are used for offshore wind operation and maintenance (O&M) at these large far offshore sites. These large vessels typically have a smaller daughter craft (DC) on board that can assist them. This DC is however too small to provide the...master thesis 2024

den Bakker, Yvonne (author)E-mobility, in particular electric vehicles (EVs), play a crucial role in the energy transition. While businesses are increasingly adopting EVs, there is still a lot of opportunity to grow. One aspect of this growth is the way these vehicles are used by companies, especially when it comes to the logistics of EV charging. To encourage companies...master thesis 2024

van Noesel, Luc (author)As one of the largest innovation hubs in the world, the Brainport Eindhoven region experiences significant economic and population growth. However, with this success comes a challenge: the transportation infrastructure is increasingly strained, with new housing developments and population growth escalating the transport demand. The economic...master thesis 2024

Verlinde, Lander (author)We investigate two open problems in discrete geometry regarding how large subsets of sets of points need to be in order for certain structures to emerge. First of all there is the Erdős-Szekeres convex polygon problem, also known as the Happy Ending problem. Interestingly, there is a clear distinction between the number of points required to...student report 2024

Rouwé, Machteld (author)Offshore wind energy can play a key role in the energy transition. Reducing installation costs for offshore wind installation projects helps to be cost-competitive with other renewable energy technologies. Installation costs can increase when the installation project planning is delayed. Literature shows that offshore wind installation projects...master thesis 2023

van Wilsem, Rick (author)The Jones Act, limited US port facilities, and absence of Jones Act-compliant installation vessels pose significant challenges for offshore wind farm installations. These factors force contractors to explore new installation strategies, such as feedering. Feedering is an installation strategy where the wind turbine installation vessel remains...master thesis 2023

van Hoorn, Tara (author)The Dutch government is aiming to transition towards a fully circular economy by 2050 to mitigate climate change. To comply with these standards, a transition team for the construction sector has identified biobased materials as a cornerstone for the sector to become circular, enabling a crucial shift because of the sector's large contribution...master thesis 2023

Eichler, Aaron (author)The implementation of a bus system is an attractive alternative for decision makers since it has a short lead time and the service can be easily adapted depending on the demand. Due to the flexible nature it allows for the use of fulfilling different magnitudes of demand. Usually bus service provide a lower level quality service, however busses...master thesis 2023

Ouerghi, Ibrahim (author)The mimetic spectral element method is a relatively young method in numerical solutions of partial differential equations and actions that describe physical systems. Its advantage is that it takes the geometrical structure of the problem into account which guarantees consistency of the numerical scheme and the conservation of relevant quantities...master thesis 2023

Alboustani, Tarik (author)System Design in the built environment is one of the most influential design paradigms in architecture and construction. This paper seeks to amalgamate empirical design strategies with various architectural principles, including the notion of “open buildings” or “open-ended architecture,” as well as Structuralism, all within a computational...master thesis 2023

Peijnenburg, Emiel (author)This research presents a framework for analysing the stability and control of discrete-event systems, specifically emphasising max-min-plus (MMP) and max-min-min-plus-scaling (MMPS) systems. These systems are valuable modelling tools for various applications, including production systems and urban railway traffic management, respectively....master thesis 2023

de Vette, Willem (author)The growth of e-commerce has increased the demand for last-mile delivery. This increased demand<br/>poses the sector of last-mile delivery with challenges such as traffic congestion, route optimization and environmental concerns. Delivery to a Service Point or a Parcel Locker, self-collection alternatives, have to potential to address these...master thesis 2023

Aydin, Mustafa (author)In the contemporary global environment, supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions, with environmental and supplier disturbances posing frequent challenges. This research aimed to understand the influence of a systematic supplier selection approach, combined with an effective risk mitigation strategy, on supply chain performance...master thesis 2023

Valencia Ibañez, Santiago (author)System architecting is one of the first stages of the engineering problem-solving process. Pivotal decisions regarding the system's overall configuration are taken in this phase. Consequently, decision support tools like system architecture optimization are needed to effectively assess the architectural design space. However, system architecture...master thesis 2023

Kassels, Sander (author)The global ever growing energy demand, quest for renewable alternatives for fossil fuels and desire to reduce dependency on single countries has driven the increasing demand for offshore wind energy production. The advancing technologies that enable offshore wind turbines to gain efficiency go hand in hand with increasing sizes of components and...master thesis 2023

Schuring, Roman (author)A monopile installation project consists of the whole process of loading monopiles to vessels, transporting monopiles to the wind farm and drilling monopiles in the seabed. Each installation project has different characteristics as the weather at the installation location, the distances to the suppliers and the vessels that are available differ...master thesis 2023

Peker, Uri (author)Probabilistic numerics methods are a novel approach to quantifying the approximation errors in numerical computations as probabilistic uncertainties. A recent method that was developed is the Bayesian Finite Element Method, which aims to determine the discretization errors along a coarse mesh probabilistically. This work analyzes the use of...master thesis 2023

van der Poel, Hugo (author)During this bachelorproject, more research is done to investigate the properties of the Hanea’s and Nane’s calibration score and to look at slight adjustment of Hanea’s and Nane’s calibration score. Both simulated data and real data will be used to investigate the behaviour of these calibration scores.bachelor thesis 2023

Verton, Max (author)We analyze the spatially discretized version of the Allen-Cahn partial differential equation. The second order derivative is numerically approximated by a weighted infinite sum. The coefficients of this sum as well as the function f in the differential equation have got freedom inside determined restrictions. For this spatially discretized...bachelor thesis 2023

Vlaardingerbroek, Jochem (author)This thesis reports the results of research into the stability of the all-to-all coupled discrete time Kuramoto model under constant, matched input disturbances. The discrete time Kuramoto model can be used as a dynamic, decentralized multi-agent orientation coordination system: once initialized, the agents will communicate their orientations to...master thesis 2023
