de Groot, Patrick (author)Current service and installation activities for offshore wind turbines are carried out by jack-up vessels, which eliminate wave disturbances to a large extent. The use of these vessels imposes several disadvantages, including high operational costs and the limitation of operating in restricted water depths. An alternative is a crane mounted on a...master thesis 2024

Schoenmaker, Eva (author)This thesis is part of a larger ongoing research project at the TU Delft regarding structural glass as a novel construction material. Here, the focus is directed towards the casting of glass to create complex free-form geometries. Thus far, only smaller components have been created, but a multitude of previous student work explored how the...master thesis 2023

Cazier, Jordi (author)The solute transport across the osteochondral (OC) interface is of crucial metabolic importance for a normal function of articular cartilage, and, therefore, for the OC interface as a whole. A better understanding how the mechanical- and physiological properties of the OC interface affect the solute transport across the OC interface could lead...master thesis 2023

Skarka, Michał (author)The concept of lightweight design is driving future aircraft to exploit all the available strength of materials and further reduce the weight of an aircraft leading to lower fuel consumption and more sustainable aviation. Current designs introduce rivets and bolts to join the structure and simultaneously create holes in the pristine material,...master thesis 2023

Coevert, Steven (author)The Netherlands is a country that is being threatened by water, both from the rivers and from the sea. The Dutch have built dikes to keep their lands from inundation. To ensure the strength and stability of these dikes, they are being assessed on the basis of several failure mechanisms. One of these failure mechanisms is...master thesis 2023

Bhondoekhan, Lorenzo (author)The main motive for this research was to study the behaviour of quay walls when there is an uneven pile foundation present. This means that the number of piles varies in the thickness of the quay wall along the length. The inspiration came from the failure of the Grimburgwal (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) that collapsed in 2020, which had a length...master thesis 2023

Yeh, Haoming (author)During the preoperative planning for breast-conserving surgery, the surgeon makes use of an MRI scan of the breast cancer patient in the prone position to accurately locate the tumour. However, surgery is performed with the patient in the supine position. The surgeon needs to mentally translate the location of the tumour from the prone position...master thesis 2023

Weiler, Marnix (author)During ‘float-out’ installation of export cables, the cable is pulled to shore while floating, supported by inflatable floaters. Understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour of these cable-floater-systems (CFS’s) is important, to be able to relate the hydraulic environment to the cable stresses and determine the maximum allowed hydraulic conditions...master thesis 2023

Brar, Arshdeep Singh (author)The problem of modelling plasticity in materials has been investigated for the past 200 years. Standard theories on yielding for metals go back to the era of Tresca(1864) and von Mises(1913). The rapid rise of the finite element method and new testing techniques in the last few decades led to further research. This thesis aims to model large...master thesis 2022

van Krimpen, Eline (author)Treatment of early stage breast cancer is generally invasive to a patient's daily life while being treated. Therefore, to diminish the physical and psychological impact during and after recovery, a newly proposed minimally invasive therapy for early-stage breast cancer treatment is proposed. Within this study, this proposed treatment is modelled...master thesis 2022

Kraaijenbrink, Lennart (author)With the rise of hydrogen as a green alternative for fossil fuels, the demand for storage capacity of hydrogen increases significantly. Due to the high risk of explosions in urban environments it brings along, the blast analysis of buildings within in range of the explosions becomes more relevant.<br/><br/>The goal of this research is to develop...master thesis 2022

Halevy, Avi (author)In this work residual error estimates are constructed using Neural Networks for Finite Element Method. These can be used to do adaptive mesh refinement. Two neural networks are developed the Multilayer Perceptron and the Transformer model. The error estimates are made for 1d poisson equations but the idea will generalise to higher dimensions as...bachelor thesis 2022

Koniari, Anna Maria (author)This thesis continues the investigation in the direction of exploring the potential regarding the use of Topology Optimization techniques for the design of cast glass structures. Previous theses in TU Delft have underlined the large potential for the design of these megaliths, but at the same time they have also underlined the strong limitations...master thesis 2022

Mudunuru, Nanditha (author)Designing and modeling compatibilized polymer blends require accurate interface model. In addition, it is possible that crazing occurs during failure of the interfaces leading to large deformation prior to complete failure and therefore must be accounted for by the interface model.<br/><br/>A preliminary literature review showed that existing...master thesis 2022

Gijzenberg, Kees-Jaap (author)The goal of the thesis is to investigate two main questions for the purpose of modelling fractures in timber with a finite element method. The first question is to evaluate the use of digital image correlation during a three point bending test to obtain mean values for tensile strength and fracture energy, and the follow up question is if it is...master thesis 2022

Hoofwijk, Jorn (author)In finite element software one has to solve a system of non-linear equations, which is commonly simplified to a sequence of linear system. We research the possibility to solve these systems on a GPU to improve the solve time. We are particularly interested in systems arising from geotechnical models. We compare several combinations of Krylov...master thesis 2022

Veeger, Robin (author)Functional gradients in hard-soft interfaces are abundant in nature, and we often mimic them to create strong and tough composites. A powerful tool for the designs and fabrication of biomimetic composites is voxel-based multi-material 3D printing. Earlier researches mainly focused on using this technique in the creation of gradients based on...master thesis 2021

Hendriks, Leo (author)This essay shows a two dimensional implementation of the finite element method for the Westervelt equation. To do this the finite element method is first applied to the linear wave equation, then to non-linear diffusion and finally to the Westervelt equation. Both an element by element and a faster vectorized implementation are given for the...bachelor thesis 2021
