Lloberas Valls, O. (author), Rixen, D.J. (author), Simone, A. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)In this contribution we describe a methodology for the multiscale analysis of heterogeneous quasi-brittle materials. The algorithm is based on the finite element tearing and interconnecting FETI [1] method cast in a non-linear setting. Adaptive multiscale analysis is accounted for with the use of selective refinement at domains that undergo...conference paper 2011

Doorn, N. (author), Kroesen, J.O. (author)In this paper, we discuss the use of role plays in ethics education for engineering students. After presenting a rough taxonomy of different objectives, we illustrate how role plays can be used to broaden students’ perspectives. We do this on the basis of our experiences with a newly developed role play about a Dutch political controversy...journal article 2011

Bezuijen, A. (author), Van Beek, V.M. (author), Van den Ham, G.A. (author), Zwanenburg, C. (author)Three on-going dike safety studies (on: macro stability, piping and flow slides) in the Netherlands make use of geotechnical physical models. A short outline of these projects is presented; the physical models chosen are described and discussed. The three studies use different physical models, depending on the research questions at the beginning...conference paper 2012

Shawaz, S. (author)This project aim to determine the macro streaming, the heat input and crystal nucleation induced by ultrasonic irradiation of a vessel containing solutions at different power input and irradiation time. First, experimental determination of the mixing induced by the ultrasound irradiation at different power input was studied using a high speed,...master thesis 2012

Spaargaren, T.N. (author)Introduction The popularity of monitoring dikes with sensor techniques is rising. It is claimed that sensor techniques lead to significant cost savings and can predict an upcoming dike collapse. But a technical foundation to use the sensor monitoring information in flood safety assessment is lacking. This research investigates the contribution...master thesis 2012

Setayeshgar, A. (author), Lipsett, M.G. (author), Koch, C.R. (author), Nobes, D.S. (author)A variety of forces can be used to separate fine particles from water in industrial processes. A coherent standing acoustic field can apply a pressure difference across a small particle such that the particle is forced to nodes or anti-nodes in the field depending of particle/liquid properties. The motion of an individual particle is the result...conference paper 2013

Noble, Petria (author), van Loon, A. (author), van der Snickt, G.R. (author), Janssens, Koen (author), Alfeld, Matthias (author), Dik, J. (author)Recent macro-XRF scanning of Rembrandt’s Selfportrait from 1669 in the Mauritshuis – as part of the ReVisRembrandt project – has revealed significant<br/>new information about the pigments and build-up of the painting. The elemental distribution maps make clear that the umber-rich ground plays a very important role in the final appearance of...conference paper 2014

Bischiniotis, K. (author)This research follows a fully probabilistic approach in order to estimate the optimal design for a river dike cross-section, taking into account the investment costs. From the theory studied, the failure mechanisms that contribute most to the failure of river dikes are identified. These are overflowing, wave overtopping, piping and inner slope...master thesis 2014

Dekker, M.C. (author), Van Lochem, A.J. (author), Molenbroek, J.F.M. (author)A healthy work-to-rest ratio during computer work can be an important part of successful preventive workrelated upper limb disorders (WRULD) intervention. Existing break software applications designed to realise such a work-to-rest ratio often possess product features that limit their functionality. Most applications focus on physical relaxation...journal article 2015

(author)The performance of railway operations depends highly on the quality of the railway timetable. In particular for dense railway networks it can be a challenge to obtain a stable robust conflict-free and energy-efficient timetable with acceptable infrastructure occupation and short travel times. This paper presents a performance-based railway...conference paper 2015

Van der Mersch, W.A. (author)One of the tests in the ESECMaSE project is the large scale earthquake test on a building. The finite element model that is discussed in this thesis is based on this pseudo-dynamic test. The material model follows from a macro modelling approach and has smeared-cracks. The mode shape and eigenfrequencies are obtained through an eigenvalue...master thesis 2015

De Greef, J. (author)In the province of Groningen in recent years strong induced earthquakes are observed, during which a lot of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. These ultimately lead to horizontal ground accelerations at the ground surface, which affect amongst other things the stability of embankments. The main question to be answered in this...master thesis 2015

Taccari, M.L. (author)Animal burrowing can be a main cause of initiation thereby be a cause of breaching of flood defences. However, little guidance and literature is available on this subject. This Master Thesis investigates the contribution of badgers, porcupines and foxes to the failure of the levee of San Matteo (Modena, Italy) on 19th January 2014. Firstly, the...master thesis 2015

It is typical to desugar language extensions in a distinguished compiler phase after parsing or type checking, not affecting any of the later compiler phases. If desugaring...journal article 2016

(author)Jackson Pollock’s Number 1A, 1948 painting was investigated using in situ scanning macro-x-ray fluorescence mapping (MA-XRF) to help characterize the artist’s materials and his creative process. A multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) approach was used to examine the hyperspectral data and obtain distribution maps and...journal article 2016

Jongerius, Y.R. (author)In this research the reliability of dikes are studied that are influenced by the presence of buildings. Along many Dutch dikes (residential) buildings are present. These buildings may influence the reliability of the dike positevely and or negatively. In this study a probabilistic method is developed to determine the influence of a building,...master thesis 2016
