Kwakman, Rik (author)The Netherlands is grappling with a substantial housing crisis, marked by an estimated shortage of 380,000 houses. To address this issue, an annual creation of 100,000 new housing units is deemed necessary. However, the current construction rate stands at only 70,000 houses per year, indicating a considerable gap in resolving the housing crisis....master thesis 2024

Wang, Chengyan (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common heart diseases. Billions of people have suffered from it in the world. Although it can lead to terrible complications such as stroke and heart failure, the underlying mechanisms of it are still under-explored. Besides, there is no so-called optimal therapy for the patients. As the disease is...master thesis 2023

Middelweerd, Marloes (author)In the Netherlands, online groceries are becoming increasingly popular, as are the challenges grocery companies face in meeting customers' rising demand for smaller and cheaper time slots while maintaining thin profit margins due to a highly competitive market. Customer choice modelling will be used to identify customers' behaviour and control...master thesis 2023

Arish Hasan, Arish (author)BaCla is a new stochastic parametric precipitation model to estimate rainfall associated with Tropical cyclones (TCs) in a computationally efficient way. It is validated for a number of calibration cases along with the current benchmark IPET deterministic method. The results of these models are compared with the observed StageIV-based rainfall....master thesis 2022

Milatz, Bas (author)The probabilistic damage stability method offers great design freedom when used as a base of design. However, due to the complexity of the calculation and amount of parameters that influence the attained index, much of this freedom is not being harnessed by designers. This research tries to give the designer more insight in where to look when...master thesis 2022

Mulder, Larissa (author)In the Netherlands, 362.000 people suffered from atrial fibrillation in 2019. During a catheter intervention, the tissue that causes atrial fibrillation is destroyed by heat generated by an alternating current exerted from an ablation catheter. Two problems of this treatment are over-ablation of the heart tissue and the non-contingent...master thesis 2022

Blom, Jelle (author)Two current assumptions of the Zeesluisformulering (ZSF) regarding a homogeneous lock density and instantaneous shipping are tested against refined descriptions according to literature: a stratified lock density and shipping according the continuity approach. These are implemented into a conceptual model constructed in Python, after which...master thesis 2021

van Lynden, Casper (author)Offshore wind plays a major role in the transition of conventional energy towards sustainable energy sources. To keep up with the increasing installation demand in this sector new offshore wind installation vessels are needed. There is a need for more certainty and predictability regarding the requirements of the future offshore wind...master thesis 2021

Claassen, Judith (author)Torrential rain from tropical cyclones can have a devastating impact, causing loss of life and billions in damages. To better understand the risk faced by coastal communities, it is important to estimate how often a tropical cyclone could occur and how much rainfall it will produce. One way to do this is by analyzing past storms and building...master thesis 2021

Abrahamse, Noor (author)Hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water, powered by renewable energy, is seen as the key to enabling the energy transition and creating a new green economy. The result will be a trade market for low-carbon hydrogen where the trade routes will be determined by natural, technical, cost and geopolitical factors. However, to transport or store...master thesis 2021

Bikulčiūtė, Goda (author)The concept of sustainability takes into account a problem of urbanisation which causes a phenomenon of urban sprawl. In order to fight it, the strategy of urban densification is introduced and building upward extensions is one of the methods. However, investigating the feasibility of placing an extension on top requires a significant amount of...master thesis 2021

van Eijk, Joost (author)In 2017, 1610 million kg of waste wood was collected in the Netherlands. The building and demolition industry was, and still is, the most significant contributor. The estimation is made that in 2017 23% of this wood, 370 million kg, consisted of solid waste wood. This solid waste wood has the potential to be reused as a building material without...master thesis 2021

Jeschke, Joost (author)Model Predictive Control (MPC) has shown promising results in the control of urban traffic networks, but has one major drawback. The, often nonlinear, optimization that has to be performed at every control time step is computationally too complex to use MPC controllers for real-time implementations (i.e. when the online optimization is performed...master thesis 2020

Hoogeveen, Maartje (author)3D concrete printing (3DCP) is a new, innovative construction method in which concrete structures are produced layer-by-layer using a 3D printer. A printed concrete structure, can be self-supporting, which means no formwork is required anymore, increasing the freedom of form, while decreasing construction cost and material use. However, the...master thesis 2020

de Wit, Edward (author)In this research an effort is made to contribute to the goals of the Betonakkoord. This is done by optimising the design of big and bulky structures consisting out of a lot of concrete, namely lock heads. Lock heads are part of the navigation lock. The main research question answered in this thesis is phrased as follows: How can the design of...master thesis 2020

Tuijp, Marion (author)Heineken's goal with respect to safety is to reduce the number of accidents to zero. Such a drastic reduction can only be achieved by considering safety as early as in the design phase, when most impact can be made. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to enable the easy generation of different design concepts and evaluate them with regard...master thesis 2020

Charisi, Nicole (author)This thesis aims in the development of a parametric modelling method for the preliminary ship design based on Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE). The research work was conducted in cooperation with C-Job Naval Architects. Nowadays, parametric models can be seen as the core of the design practice since they facilitate the exploration of the...master thesis 2019

Harrewijn, Thomas (author)Most bridges in the Western European road networks are ageing. The vast majority of about 90% of these bridges have reinforced concrete as a building material. The traffic intensity, as well as the axle, and the average vehicle weight have increased since these structures were opened to traffic. Furthermore, the structural (design) codes have...master thesis 2019

Prajod, Pooja (author)With the advent of social robots which are designed to be 'social', human-like interactions have become a necessity. It is natural for us to use a plethora of emotions to convey additional information or to make an interaction more engaging. But emotion expression is not commonly associated with robots. Many humanoid robots cannot generate...master thesis 2019

Lanphen, stephanie (author)The world population is growing and therewith facing a lot of problems, such as a growing energy demand and climate change. These problems force society to make a transition, from a system driven by fossil raw materials to a sustainability-based system. Hydrogen can play a part in shifting from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy flows, as a...master thesis 2019
