Zhang, Jujian (author)This thesis introduces the Discontinuity-Enriched Finite Element Method (DE-FEM) for the modeling of dynamic multiple crack growth problems including branching and merging, as an alternative to eXtended/Generalized Finite Element Method (X/GFEM). DE-FEM differs from X/GFEM by placing the enriched degrees of freedom (DOFs) directly along the...master thesis 2023

Tallapragada, Bharadwaj (author)A popular class of methods for solving Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) problems computationally are the moving mesh deformation methods. These methods generally involve deforming the fluid domain so that it conforms to the structure as it undergoes changes. An efficient and robust moving mesh technique involves interpolation of displacements...master thesis 2023

van Bergen, Steven (author)Nanophotonics is the study of structures’ interaction with light with features at or below the nanometer scale. It has gained the interest of many researchers, as it can be used to control the flow of light very effectively in the design of, e.g., solar cells, highly efficient biosensors or lasers. The design of such devices can be non-intuitive...master thesis 2022

van Tatenhove, Rick (author)In this report a new enriched finite volume method is introduced. This method will be particularly useful for fluid-structure interaction problems. In engineering many problems are in the domain of fluidstructure interaction. Examples of these are water in sea locks, blood flowing in vessels and sailing ships. Fluid problems are usually solved...master thesis 2022

Cobben, Nicolle (author)The Netherlands is confronted with drought more and more frequently. Two of the four climate scenarios predict that summers will become drier and extreme weather such as drought will occur longer and more often. Drought is a serious problem for multiple reasons. First of all it concerns large areas. Secondly it can take long before the effects...master thesis 2022

Yan, Yuheng (author)The computational modeling of crack propagation is important in aerospace and automotive industries because cracks play a significant role in structural failure. In comparison with the quasi-static case, inertial effects are significant in dynamic crack propagation. The classical numerical tool for modeling dynamic crack propagation is the...master thesis 2021

Thakur, Kartik (author)The demand for using thin-walled composite structures for instance, in aircraft and ships are rising in the industry. These structures contain material interfaces, and at these interfaces, the structure exhibits non-smooth field behavior which is known as weak discontinuity. It is essential to study the effects of such discontinuities on the...master thesis 2020

Liu, Yiling (author)Recently in the Netherlands, researchers have found that sleep duration and quality were suboptimal in the hospital. Evidence proved that many modifiable hospitalrelated factors negatively associate with patients' sleep (JAMA Internal Medicine, 2018). The sound factor is the most significant sleep disturbance in the hospital. In this graduation...master thesis 2020

Peters, Alexander (author)HIsarna is a new furnace technology in the steel industry, featuring a large reduction of CO<sub>2</sub>-emissions of up to 80%, and offering larger tolerances for gangue materials. Additionally, it has potential for zinc enrichment in the flue dust, as it can quickly vapourise zinc in the feed material and reject it to the flue dust. Increasing...master thesis 2019

Theulings, Maarten (author)Origami structures have become of increasing importance in the field of engineering, due to their lightweight, compact and stiff properties. To design these structures, progress is being made into incorporating origami modeling in the Finite Element Method. To implement an arbitrarily located fold on an existing mesh, either re-meshing or...master thesis 2019

Segami, Miki (author)A pilot-scale PHA microbial enrichment reactor fed on OFMSW leachate was monitored in order to assess the influence of free ammonia nitrogen (FAN) on its performance. The enrichment reactor consisted of a SBR with a 12-hours cycle which included a feast phase, a settling phase and a famine phase with external nitrogen addition. Based on the...master thesis 2019

Hu, Y. (author)Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) processed steel is a promising candidate for the third-generation advanced high strengths steel(AHSS), where considerable amount of carbon-enriched austenite can be obtained in the steel microstructure. The Q&P process starts with full or partial austenisation of the steel, followed by a quench to form a desired...master thesis 2016
