Vis, Simone (author)During oil drilling, the position of wells is indirectly determined by measurements near the drilling bit. However, the measurements are disturbed by noise causing errors in the measurements. It is important for large oil companies like Shell to determine the position of wells with a certain degree of uncertainty. Therefore, the main objective...bachelor thesis 2019

Kamerling, M.W. (author)This paper describes a proposal to renovate a Fusee Ceramique Barrel Vault with steel diagonals In 1956 two workshops, varying in height and span, were built in Wormerveer, The Netherlands. Both workshops were roofed with a concrete barrel vault with a thickness of 110 mm. The cylindrical vaults were constructed with Fusée Ceramique elements. A...conference paper 2015

Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)A steel monopile is the most common foundation type of a wind turbine installed offshore and is driven into place with the help of vibratory or impact hammers. Underwater noise generated during the installation of steel monopiles has recently received considerable attention from international environmental organizations and regulatory bodies in...conference paper 2014

Falk, A. (author), Turrin, M. (author), von Buelow, P. (author)The work described in this paper aims at developing the interrelation and overall effects of interaction between a folded plate roof structure and a system of branching column supports. In the context of architectural performance it is of interest to discuss the effects of the material on environmental conditions. The current study is...conference paper 2010

Barrett, R. (author), Lee, G. (author)A new technique is presented for designing actuators for guided hard-launch adaptive munitions by using actuator and substrate strain limits, static analysis methods and matching the local actuator strains along its length by varying the width. This Load-Matched design technique leads to an exponential area distribution as a function of length...conference paper 2004

Ozel, F. (author)In hot and arid climates, limiting solar heat gain while also providing daylight into a structure is a major concern in building design. Building skin that gradually changes in porosity can help limit solar heat gain. Since solar heat gain is primarily a problem during summer, the path the sun follows during summer must be taken into account in...conference paper 2013

Borgart, A. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author)During his live Heinz Isler built around 1400 shell structures, until he deceased in 2009. Heinz Isler is part of a Swizz tradition of structural art in the 20th century, which includes engineers such as Robert Maillart, Othmar Ammann und Christian Menn [1]. During his live Heinz Isler developed several methods for physical form finding of his...conference paper 2012

Van Eck, S. (author), Coenders, J.L. (author), Doomen, R. (author)A solar updraft tower is a type of power plant which uses solar irradiation to generate electricity. It consists of three elements: a solar air collector, wind turbines and a chimney. The proposed concepts for this chimney schematise it as a 1-km-tall reinforced concrete shell, which are vulnerable to resonance induced by storm actions. This...conference paper 2015

Van de Straat, R. (author), Hofman, S. (author), Coenders, J.L. (author), Paul, J.C. (author)The new Transfer Hall in Arnhem is one of the key projects to prepare the Dutch railways for the increased future demands for capacity. UNStudio developed a master plan in 1996 for the station area of which the completion of the Transfer Hall in 2015 will be a final milestone. The Transfer Hall is a merging point of passengers, commercial and...conference paper 2015

Kamerling, M.W. (author)This paper presents the design of a light and robust temporary emergency shelter with a triangulated polyhedral grid to transfer the lateral and vertical loads efficiently. To simplify the construction the variety of the elements is minimized, only two sizes of elements are applied. For the structural grid alternatives are designed using varying...conference paper 2013

Ahmed, A. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)A finite element model based on solid-like shell elements is presented for the simulation of progressive damage in laminated composite structures. To model mesh independent matrix cracking, a discontinuous solid-like shell element (DSLS) is utilized. The shell element has only displacement degrees of freedom, thus avoids the need for a...conference paper 2012

Schipper, H.R. (author), Janssen, B. (author)The manufacturing of double-curved precast concrete elements is still expensive, due to the high costs and limited possibilities for repetitive use of the moulds or formwork. The goal of the research described in this paper is to develop a production method that overcomes these difficulties by enabling the mould to be reused many times and by...conference paper 2011
