Borgart, A. (author)
Shell structures can be either calculated with complex mathematics and differential geometry, or with the help of finite element method (FEM) software. Neither method gives the designer sufficient insight about the behaviour of the shell in the early design stage. The first method is for most designers too complex, it requires proficiency in at...

Renewable energy projects on land in the Netherlands face delays due to social resistance, driven by concerns over aesthetics, environment, and economics. Local energy communities have been identified as potential solutions to enhance social acceptance and overcome these barriers. The Dutch Climate Agreement targets 50% local ownership in...

This thesis investigates a floating truss structure’s local and global response to breaking waves slamming loads. The case study of interest is the supporting structure of SolarDuck’s (SD) platform FPV. Their design consists of different triangular modules, with the solar panels at a safe height from wave impacts. In future designs, the truss...

The long-range electron transport of exoelectrogenic bacterium G. sulfurreducens<br/>was recently discovered to be facilitated by a network of conductive protein wires. In<br/>chapter 1 we provide an overview of our current understanding of these protein wires.<br/>This newly discovered feature of the model organism for microbial fuel cells may...

In the pursuit of sustainable development, the construction industry faces the dual challenges of material scarcity and the environmental impact of its material usage. This thesis explores the potential of hybrid structures, specifically employing reused wooden elements, to address these challenges and transition towards a zero-waste economy....

Urbanisation has increased the worlds' cities populations and influenced the living conditions within these cities. Temperatures rise, the air becomes more polluted and noise levels increase. It has been proven that types of vegetation such as plants and trees can reduce the negative effects of urbanisation by for instance cooling cities,...

Salt Marshes are a coastal ecosystem which have numerous benefits as coastal defense such as wave attenuation and can adapt to sea level rise. Wave flume tests, using a scale model of a cross-section of a salt marsh adjacent to a dike, were conducted in the Hydraulic Laboratory, to quantify the effectiveness of such a salt marsh system as flood...

Bagirov, Aslan (author)
Structural design for unconventional aircraft can be quite challenging and could undergo<br/>many iterations until a solution is found for all load-cases such as static sizing, stability and<br/>crashworthiness. Ultimately, all of the design aspect are integrated in the earliest design<br/>changes for which Topology Optimization (TO) could...

Coastal structures such as breakwaters can mitigate the erosive effects of sea level rise by protecting shorelines from wave impact. The Reef Enhancing Breakwater (REB) is a modular, permeable structure designed to dissipate wave energy and boost marine biodiversity by providing suitable habitats. This research investigates...

Kloeg, Boris (author)
Wind turbine blades have a service life of around 20 to 25 years and are then decommissioned while generally still having excellent structural performance and high-value material properties. Currently, the recycling options for the fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite components that make up the blade are limited, so most blades are either...

Selecting the optimal stability framework for high-rise steel buildings is a critical decision that impact both economic efficiency and sustainability. This decision is not easy since there are many stability frameworks to choose from, such as tube, concrete shear-wall, and outrigger system. Designers and clients aspire to compare multiple...

The emergence of innovative construction materials is dawning a new era of ambition within the civil engineering community. Among these innovative materials, Basalt Fibre Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) has recently surfaced with promising potential as a reinforcing material in concrete. Currently, in the Dutch concrete construction industry, the...

Advancements in the space sector have driven the democratization of planetary exploration. As a longstanding target of scientific interest, Mars will consequently witness an increasing demand for surface missions of various sizes. Its thin atmosphere, however, is a challenging environment for entry, descent, and landing (EDL). An incoming...

From formal hardware models to programming language implementations concurrency is everywhere. While there has been a lot of work done on verifying concurrent systems a large part of it is focused on SC. In practice, it is more common to encounter weak memory models for which the techniques developed for SC do not work. There exists previous...

Owen, C.C. (author)
The imminence of anthropogenic climate change has motivated a global energy transition towards sustainable power generation. Offshore wind—an important contributor to the energy transition—is expanding, not only in turbine size and number of installations, but also into regions with harsher environmental conditions. One of those conditions in...

Growing concerns about the environmental impact of aviation have sparked interest in hydrogen aircraft as a greener alternative. Hydrogen can be used to power existing turbofan engines or electrical motors via a fuel cell, eliminating carbon emissions not only during flight, but also during production, provided renewable energy sources are used....

The main focus of this thesis is on a thin glass sandwich panel combined with a three-dimensional printed core pattern. The core pattern provides stiffness to the panel, but it also influences the daylight transmission. The goal of this research is to design a façade system which can dynamically improve the daylight performance, effectively...

Safety and reliability of aircraft structures are of main concern within the aerospace industry, preferably without influencing the availability of the aircraft and maintenance and operation costs. As damages in composites can be hard to detect, methods are being developed to detect damages which can potentially lead to a (catastrophic) failure...
