Jalalvand, Meisam (author), Fotouhi, M. (author), Wisnom, Michael R. (author)A new method of creating in-plane combined tension-shear stress states using only tensile loading is proposed. Thin-ply angle-ply carbon/epoxy laminates are sandwiched between unidirectional glass layers to eliminate any stress concentration around the samples ends and gripping zone. Use of the thin plies successfully suppresses early...journal article 2024

van Kleef, Sophie (author)A climate change mitigation strategy seen in the maritime sector is the electrification of berths through implementing shore power installations. The incorporation of grid-connected battery energy storage systems (BESS) into shore power installations, thereby creating hybrid installations, potentially accelerates the implementation of shore...master thesis 2023

Ma, H. (author)This thesis conducts a series of interrelated research studies on reach probability estimation of rare events for stochastic hybrid systems. Chapter 1 explains that the motivation for these studies stems from the need to assess safety and capacity of a design for a future Air Traffic Management (ATM) concept of operations (ConOps). The safety...doctoral thesis 2023

Rehbein, Marko (author)At a time when there is a distinct drive for accelerated sustainability the Flying V is a promising new aircraft configuration with the potential for significantly higher efficiency than the current state-of-the-art. Up until this point the Landing Gear layout has only been investigated at an aircraft-level meaning there is limited knowledge on...master thesis 2023

Oosterhagen, Isabel (author)Grid congestion, which results from a larger demand for electricity transport than the available transport capacity, is a challenge in the Dutch energy transition. The growing pace of decentralized renewable energy development in less densely populated areas and the electrification of demand leads to congestion, which potentially hinders the...master thesis 2023

Bernátek, David (author)Our cities are densifying to accommodate the growing urban population within the existing urban fabric. More and smaller homes are being built. This appears to be the result of an ongoing global housing crisis. Therefore, good quality public space becomes even more essential, as it acts as the expansion of our living rooms. It is the immediate...master thesis 2023

van der Lingen, Annick (author)This study aims to explore the impact of employee separation as a result of hybrid working on the organisational commitment of ORGANISATION X’s workforce. The findings of this research aim to offer valuable insights to ORGANISATION X's understanding on how the alternating remote and in-office work setup may influence the commitment levels of...master thesis 2023

Teertstra, Bouke (author)The company H2 Marine Solutions has designed a zero-emission hydrogen powered boat. This boat is compared to its fossil fuel counterpart more than twice as heavy. The reason for this is that the system components that are used in the hybrid powertrain of the hydrogen powered boat are heavier. The main question of this research is: How can we...master thesis 2023

Krilašević, S. (author)Both societal and engineering systems are growing in complexity and interconnectivity, making it increasingly challenging, and sometimes impossible, to model their dynamics and behaviors. Moreover, individuals or entities within these systems, often referred to as agents, have their own objectives that may conflict with one another. Examples...doctoral thesis 2023

van Loo, N. (author)The development of quantum computers is perhaps one of the most exciting innovations of our time. The most investigated quantum computers, however, suffer from the fact that quantum information is lost due to interaction between the quantum bits and their environment. As a radically different approach, it has been proposed that one can instead...doctoral thesis 2023

Dissel, Robin (author)The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management set up the ERTMS Programme and commissioned ProRail to realize the rollout. In Dutch vernacular, ERTMS is often used, but the system that replaces the legacy dutch system is ETCS Level 2. This rollout of ETCS Level 2 in infrastructure is currently being done on 7 sections of track in...master thesis 2023

Deutman, Max (author)This thesis titled "Addressing voltage sag contribution of an optimally sized Industrial Hybrid Power System" introduces a framework for sizing an industrial Hybrid Power System (HPS) to minimise Cost and CO2 emissions relative to connecting the industrial site directly to the grid with the help of a genetic algorithm, specifically NSGA-II. The...master thesis 2023

Marijnissen, Imko (author)Core-guided solvers and Implicit Hitting Set (IHS) solvers have become ubiquitous within the field of Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT). While both types of solvers iteratively increase the solution cost until a satisfiable solution is found, the manner in which this relaxation is performed leads to the belief that these techniques are wholly...master thesis 2023

Postma, Marijn (author)The urgent need for marine transportation to reduce CO2 emissions has led to considering alternative energy and storage sources. The resulting increase in the complexity of powerplant architectures led to the development of advanced control strategies to achieve energy savings. At the same time, the health status of components has been often...master thesis 2023

Meseguer Berroy, Paula (author)Fuel consumption during the taxi phase of flight can be reduced by using electric wheel propulsion instead of aircraft engines. Currently, this can be either done by having external trucks towing the aircraft from the gate to the runway, or by incorporating electric motors on the aircraft wheels to power the aircraft without using the engines....master thesis 2023

Wongnitchakul, Aphitchaya (author)The acceleration of the sea level rise will have an immediate global impact, especially on the Delta works. This projection increases the challenge for flood protection strategies and the existing flood barriers that currently lack adaptation for the higher water level. As an opportunity from the negative outcome of climate change and the most...master thesis 2023

Bomben, Benjamin (author)There is a significant problem with how we conceive our built environment, the traditional nature of the construction industry lags in innovation compared to nearly every other industry. As a result, the industry is unable to quickly respond to changing social, environmental and economic contexts. Requiring new methods of construction and ways...master thesis 2023
