Neutrally stable metamaterials can maintain differ- ent shapes without any energy input, making it a key innovation in the quest for more energy-efficient technologies. Despite this intriguing property, the research in this area is scarce. This study proposes a method for achieving neutral stability in metama- terials. This method is validated...

Currently, most of the modular building can be fabricated off-site, except for the stability system. Therefore, the question arises: Could modules be designed such that there is no need for an additional stability system? As modules are typically built in a rectangular shape, incorporating stability elements such as bracings along the longer...

The transverse stability of timber terraced houses can be provided by CLT stability walls where decoupled timber terraced houses are preferred to meet acoustic requirements leading to rather large thicknesses for the CLT stability walls and many large connections for anchorage to the foundation. The main goal of this research was to investigate...

The safety of the Dutch dikes depends on various failure mechanisms. Macro stability, a geotechnical failure mechanism, is highly affected by differences in soil strength because the sliding plane propagates through areas of least resistance. The variations in soil properties in space, also known as spatial<br/>variability, are caused by...

This study presents a new approach for integrated tail assignment and maintenance task scheduling decision support. Wasted maintenance resources, restricted fleet availability for schedule flexibility, inconsistent planning, and no emphasis on schedule resilience are all inefficiencies that now arise from airlines' separate and manual tail...

The Deep Neural Network (DNN) has become a widely popular machine learning architecture thanks to its ability to learn complex behaviors from data. Standard learning strategies for DNNs however rely on the availability of large, labeled datasets. Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) is a style of learning that allows models to also use unlabeled data...

This thesis explores the potential of sustainable resins in composite manufacturing, focusing on bio-based benzoxazine resins and bio-based epoxy derived from brown algae. The research investigates the feasibility of integrating these sustainable alternatives into composite structures. Bio-based benzoxazine resins were synthesized in-house,...

Researchers have been interested in studying the connection between emotion and memory for decades but much remains unknown due to the elusive nature of the human brain. Furthering our understanding of the phenomenon is crucial for improving the treatment of neurological disorders associated with emotion dysregulation, as well as for enhancing...

After overtopping, the most common failure mechanism in the world that leads to a dike breach is the instability of the inner slope. Two stability calculations are required for the semi-probabilistic assessment of inner slope stability. One calculation is without significant overtopping and the other calculation is with significant overtopping...

This research presents a framework for analysing the stability and control of discrete-event systems, specifically emphasising max-min-plus (MMP) and max-min-min-plus-scaling (MMPS) systems. These systems are valuable modelling tools for various applications, including production systems and urban railway traffic management, respectively....

Groynes in the Lower Elbe estuary in Germany are subject to attack from overflowing long-period primary ship-induced waves. Damage can occur on the crest and lee side of the structure due to the high turbulent overflowing flow velocities. An actual design tool for groynes exposed to overflowing primary ship waves is not yet present. Therefore,...

Ariel is an ESA space telescope planned for launch in 2029. It is aimed at observing ∼1,000 exoplanets using transit spectroscopy at infrared wavelengths between 0.5-7.8μm, to characterise the chemical composition and thermal structure of their atmospheres. To detect minute flux variations and confidently extract the exoplanet signal, Ariel...

This study aims to quantify the aerodynamic behaviour of fixed pitch rotors with a diameter of 12.7 cm in axial descent, and its contribution to the attitude oscillations found for quadcopters under similar flight conditions. Wind tunnel tests are performed with an isolated rotor, as well as a complete quadcopter mounted inside a gimbal that...

The presence of retained austenite (RA) has been proven beneficial for the formability of Advanced High Strength Steels. Therefore, multiple thermal austenite stabilization methods have been researched, such as Mn-partitioning during intercritical annealing in medium Mn steels. The Cyclic Partial Phase Transformation (CPPT) approach has been...

This thesis discusses the characterization of the undrained shear strength, S_u from the net cone resistance, q_net of clay in Dutch sites using Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling (HBM). The performance of the HBM is compared with the current practice methods of the site characterization which propose either the use of only site–specific...

Traditionally, Event-Triggered Control (ETC) methods are sample-and-hold control schemes that implement a triggering condition in order to reduce the number of control updates. Given a decay rate of the Lyapunov function, they focus on minimizing the (average) Inter-Sample Time (IST). In this thesis, we focused on the scheduling of Periodic...

Ever since their discovery, the Trojans have raised many questions among astrophysicists. In 1989 it was found that there were more L4 than L5 Trojans and the current L4:L5 ratio value is estimated to be 1.6. However, this asymmetry could not be explained by Jupiter’s current orbit and must therefore have arisen during the early development of...

This work delves into designing and implementing an optimized self-centering lens mounting technique for the collimator and coupler lenses in the Universal Light Source (ULS) by ASML. The ULS aims to meet the growing demand for smaller logic nodes and higher throughput in optical metrology sensors. To achieve precise alignment and stability, the...

Due to the growing demand for offshore wind energy and the increasing wind turbine sizes, a shortage of capable installation vessels is anticipated by 2024. Consequently, the utilisation of heavy-lift vessels, previously not employed for bottom-founded or floating offshore wind turbine installations, may become imperative to realise the offshore...

This Bachelor thesis provides an analysis of Runge-Kutta methods using Butcher tableaus. Runge-Kutta method are numerical methods used for approximating initial value problems. A Runge-Kutta method can be classified as either an explicit or an implicit method. A special kind of implicit methods are diagonally implicit methods. The type of method...
