van Doormaal, Thijn (author)The demand for offshore wind energy has never been higher, yet the number of ideal areas for wind farm installations is decreasing. As a result, larger wind turbines are being placed in deeper waters, which poses opportunities for floating foundations. However, due to the industry's inability to scale up the production of relatively expensive...master thesis 2023

Vidyarthi, Kunal (author)CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has soared since the industrial era owing to the rapid and unabated increase in fossil fuel consumption globally. This has resulted in an increase in global average temperature by ≈ 1.1 C in this period; and has sparked the concern of climate disaster events across the globe. In order to tackle the issue of...master thesis 2022

Carranza Neurohr, Andres (author)In the Netherlands, there is an increasing need to create residential spaces in its already crowded cities to accommodate the growing population. Constructing high-rise buildings is one way to try to solve the issue. However, high-rise buildings are sensitive to wind-induced vibrations. The accurate prediction of the dynamic response is...master thesis 2022

de Vlieger, Tim (author)Offshore lifting operations must have reduced payload motion to increase safety and reduce operating time. When payload is retrieved from the splash zone to the deck, besides the crane block, no additional control can be applied on the underactuated system. Existing studies either assume more control over the payload or develop a control system...master thesis 2022

van Luik, Christiaan (author)Spam calls are becoming an increasing problem, with people receiving multiple spam calls per month on average. Multiple Android applications exist that are able to detect spam calls and display a warning or block such calls. Little is known however on how these applications work and what numbers they block.<br/>In this research, the following...bachelor thesis 2022

Pashov, Atanas (author)The aim of this research is to provide a structured approach for dynamically analysing Android applications, focusing on applications that block or flag suspected spam caller IDs. This paper discusses ways to determine how an application stores the data regarding the phone numbers, and what APIs it utilizes. In order to develop a methodology of...bachelor thesis 2022

van Bergen, Annelinde (author)Climate change is a recurring topic in the news and goes side by side with the energy transition. The energy transition focuses on using clean energy generated by resources like wind and water. Due to the increasing demand for technology that focuses on generating and storing clean energy, the demand for metals grows. These metals are currently...master thesis 2022

van Looveren, Hugo (author)Timber usage in construction works has increased over the past years due to its better environmental performance. Applying timber elements instead of steel or concrete decreases the emissions impact of the built environment. Architect firm ZJA and Iv-consult are interested in investigating a timber railway bridge as part of the Norwegian...master thesis 2022

Liu, Xinhan (author)Opinion dynamics models study how the interaction among people influences the opinion formation process. In most opinion dynamics models, only one opinion could exist in the steady state, which is different from the real-life opinion formation process. In 2009, Shao \emph{et al.} introduced a non-consensus opinion (NCO) model, which allows...master thesis 2022

Yi, S. (author), Papakonstantinou, K. G. (author), Andriotis, C. (author), Song, J. (author)Fragility analysis aims to compute the probabilities of a system exceeding certain damage conditions given different levels of hazard intensity. Fragility analysis is therefore a key process of performance-based earthquake engineering, with a number of approaches developed and widely recognized, including Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA),...conference paper 2022

(author)The Internet of things (IoT) is composed by a wide variety of software and hardware components that inherently contain vulnerabilities. Previous research has shown that it takes only a few minutes from the moment an IoT device is connected to the Internet to the first infection attempts. Still, we know little about the evolution of exploit...conference paper 2022

Dubhashi, Ved Shrivallabh (author)The world is currently in the middle of an energy crisis, with a growing demand for energy playing catch up with an increasing population. The problem stems from the fact that we rely heavily on fossil fuels to meet our energy needs, and the combustion of these fuels are the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. An accelerated rate of...master thesis 2021

Wieffering, Tristan (author)We propose a novel, dynamic analysis-based detection solution for formjackers. The operating principle of these formjackers, or card skimmers on the web, is typically simple, yet effective: when making a payment on webshop that has been infected with a formjacker, the submitted payment information is not just transmitted to the webshop, but also...master thesis 2021

Peng, Tian (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Casas, Joan R. (author), Turmo, Jose (author)Structural identification using dynamical parameters (such as the natural vibration frequencies and mode shapes) is an important issue, especially in bridges or high-rise buildings. However, incorrect decisions could happen on the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) strategy and the Structural System Identification (SSI) analysis that makes...journal article 2021

Kalpakoglou, Alexandra (author)Marine pipelines are often operated at high internal pressure and temperature. This loading condition results in the development of axial compressive forces that can cause the pipeline to buckle globally. Global buckling occurs when significant lateral motion is present in the pipeline and excessive feed-in occurs at that specific location,...master thesis 2020

Bussemakers, P.J.M. (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
