Huijgen, Kyscha (author)Offshore mussel cultivation is gaining popularity, with the longline technique emerging as a popular method for cultivation. The longline technique entails multiple backbones from which mussel lines that loop around it are suspended and which are kept afloat by buoys. Overdulve Offshore Services designed the Cees Leenaars, a semi-submersible...master thesis 2024

Zou, Pengxu (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Fujisaki-Manome, Ayumi (author), Garcia, Fernando E. (author)This research investigates the dynamic response of offshore wind turbine (OWT) systems subject to ice-structure-soil interaction (ISSI). To simulate the behavior of level ice sheets, a coupled approach involving the cohesive element method (CEM) and the finite element method (FEM) is applied. For soil-structure interaction (SSI), the Mohr...journal article 2024

Mellaard, Mike (author)The demand for timber buildings is rising because of the need to make the construction industry more sustainable. Eurocode 5 provides guidance in the design process of timber structures. Numerical modelling is generally used for complex structures like multi-storey timber buildings. Currently, there is limited understanding of the serviceability...master thesis 2023

Appert, Loïc (author)Due to the increasing size of offshore wind turbines, the jack-up vessels and cranes installing them need to increase in size. The increase in length of the crane boom results in an increase of the dynamic response of the crane. This increase in response results in higher loads in the crane. The magnitude of the higher loads are unknown and not...master thesis 2023

Çirak, Cansu (author)The demand for wind energy has led to the need for larger offshore wind turbines, which require larger monopiles for support. Vibratory pile driving is a common technique for installing these monopiles, but current engineering models are designed for smaller diameter monopiles and may not be applicable to larger ones. Additionally, the vibratory...master thesis 2023

(author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Board level vibration testing is a commonly used method to predict the solder joint reliability of surface-mounted components seated onto printed circuit boards (PCB). Current board level vibration test methods are mainly developed from a solely mechanical stress application standpoint. This makes such stress tests one dimensional in nature...conference paper 2023

Kockelkorn, Tycho (author)The Haringvlietbrug, which was delivered in 1964 and connects the island of Goeree-Overflakkee to the Dutch mainland, approaches the end of its lifetime. Rijkswaterstaat and Witteveen+Bos investigate the potential use of vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) to track deterioration. In vibration-based SHM, a change in the structure’s...master thesis 2022

Zou, P. (author)The submerged floating tunnel (SFT), also called an Archimedes Bridge, is a new type of infrastructure for wide and deep sea-crossings, regarded as one of the alternatives to bored and immersed tunnels and bridges. It is afloat in water employing its buoyancy and a support system to balance its self-weight. However, no prototype SFT has yet been...doctoral thesis 2022

(author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Board level vibration testing is intended to assess prediction of the reliability of solder joint interconnects that are formed between electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCB). Frailties in the stress test experiment might lead to false board level reliability (BLR) evaluations. Therefore, it is essential to have a well...review 2022

Nederkoorn, T. P. (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)Very large waves, such as rogue waves, can be dangerous for ships and offshore structures. There is no consensus on the theoretical occurrence probability of these rogues and ocean measurements containing rogue waves are rare. This paper addresses the long-term occurrence probability of rogue waves using time-extreme (TE) and space–time...journal article 2022

Palla, Pallavi (author)The gas production in the Groningen gas field of the Netherlands has caused a significant amount of shallowhuman induced earthquakes. Among various building typologies, Groningen is home to many Dutch historical churches constructed by unreinforced masonry which has shown to be highly vulnerable to these earthquakes. From the perspective of...master thesis 2021

(author), Wu, Weiguo (author), Guan, Zhongwei (author)Test on a small scaled model is an effective approach to predict the dynamic response of full scale structure under blast loadings. However, the geometric dimensions of specimens cannot simply comply with complete geometrical similarity due to manufacture or test restrictions. It would result in the difference structural performance between...journal article 2021
