Hemel, M. (author)Amsterdam faces the challenge of maintaining a domain of 200 km historic quay walls, which is a vital part of the city’s historical landscape. Many quays are currently in poor condition and require renovation or replacement in the near future, significantly impacting the city. The quay walls can be up to 300 years old and their structure...doctoral thesis 2023

Nagalingam, Nagaraj (author), Raghunathan, Aswin (author), Korede, V.B. (author), Overmars, E.F.J. (author), Hung, S. (author), Hartkamp, Remco (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Smith, C.S. (author), Eral, H.B. (author)Optofluidic devices have revolutionized the manipulation and transportation of fluid at smaller length scales ranging from micrometers to millimeters. We describe a dedicated optical setup for studying laser-induced cavitation inside a microchannel. In a typical experiment, we use a tightly focused laser beam to locally evaporate the solution...journal article 2023

Scharnke, Jule (author), van Essen, S.M. (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)In the assessment of wave-in-deck loads for new and existing maritime structures typically model tests are carried out. To determine the most critical conditions and measure sufficient impact loads, a range of sea states and various seeds (realisations) for each sea state are tested. Based on these measurements, probability distributions can...journal article 2023

van Essen, S.M. (author), Scharnke, Jule (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)For the design of maritime structures in waves, the extreme values of responses such as motions and wave impact loads are required. Waves and wave-induced responses are stochastic, so such responses should always be related to a probability. This information is not easy to obtain for strongly non-linear responses such as wave impact forces....journal article 2023

Rijkens, A.A.K. (author), Mikelic, A. (author)The seakeeping behaviour of naval ships is an important factor for its operational effectiveness, as vessels with good seakeeping abilities are able to go to sea and successfully execute their missions despite possible adverse weather conditions. Hence, it is not surprising that the hydrodynamic assessment of a new frigate type hull forms is...journal article 2022

Pol, J.C. (author), Kanning, W. (author), van Beek, Vera M. (author), Robbins, Bryant A. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a form of internal erosion which can lead to failure of levees and dams. Most research focused on the critical head difference at which piping failure occurs. Two aspects have received less attention, namely (1) the temporal evolution of piping and (2) the local hydraulic conditions in the pipe and at the pipe...journal article 2022

Jafari, S. (author)Understanding the behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures requires in-depth insight into the mechanical properties of its constituents and their interaction under compression, tension, and shear loading. As a result, a complete picture of masonry characteristics, accounting for its full nonlinear response and its statistical...doctoral thesis 2021

Lyu, X. (author), Liu, Huiqing (author), Tian, Ji (author), Zheng, Qiang (author), Zhao, Wei (author)Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is one efficient and mature technology for recovering heavy oil and bitumen resources. The key underlying mechanism is the growth of the steam chamber after injecting steam. However, due to the complex geological environment, the thief zones exist and have a prejudicial effect on the development of the...journal article 2021

Degenhardt, Richard (author), Franzoni, Felipe (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)For most structural parts of real launcher structures buckling is the critical design criterion. Due to the high imperfection sensitivity of these structures and to the unknown geometric imperfections during the design phase, it is still today a challenge to predict a reliable design buckling load and to experimentally and non-destructively...conference paper 2021

(author)The current literature on solid oxide fuel cell and internal combustion engine (SOFC-ICE) integration is focused on the application of advanced combustion technologies operating as bottoming cycles to generate a small load share. This integration approach can pose challenges for ships such as restricted dynamic capabilities and large space...journal article 2021

Olivier, G. (author), Csillag, Fruzsina (author), Tromp, Elisabeth (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)Due to constantly increasing traffic loads and ageing infrastructure, innovative materials for implementation in renovation and new bridge construction projects are gaining attention. One such innovation is hybrid structures consisting of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite decks connected to a steel girder(s) superstructure. By...journal article 2021

Verbeek, Merel C. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Coastal infrastructure, such as bridges and storm surge barriers with weirs, provides an attractive location for harvesting renewable energy using tidal turbines. Often stone layers are applied downstream of coastal infrastructure to protect the sea bed from erosion. However, little is known about the potential effect of tidal energy...journal article 2020

Torres, Juan Andres (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)For shear-critical structural elements where the use of stirrups is not desirable, such as slabs or beams with reinforcement congestion, steel fibers can be used as shear reinforcement. The contribution of the steel fibers to the shear capacity lies in the action of the steel fibers bridging the shear crack, which increases the shear capacity...journal article 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)Adding steel fibers to concrete improves the capacity in tension-driven failure modes. An example is the shear capacity in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams with longitudinal reinforcement and without shear reinforcement. Since no mechanical models exist that can fully describe the behavior of SFRC beams without shear reinforcement...journal article 2019

Aalbers, Albert B. (author), Hoving, J.S. (author)Ships at sea will encounter deck wetness events that usually are just annoying and rarely lead to damage. Discomfort is experienced by spray, as it is limiting view and hampering deck work. In freezing conditions, deck wetting will lead to icing. This study is a continuation of publications regarding the development of a marine icing model...conference paper 2019

Huang, X. (author)The technique called "flameless combustion", also denoted as "MILD" combustion, was developed to reduce the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission in the combustion process. The term "flameless" refers to the low visibility of the flame. The technique is particularly of interest when hot exhaust gas is used to preheat inlet air to high temperature. The...doctoral thesis 2018
