Klerks, Joosje (author)In common practice, quay walls are engineered to fulfil their services for a minimum lifetime. However, in many cases, quay walls are designed stronger than minimally required, which means that the quay wall could be able to serve its purpose over a longer period or endure higher loads. In general, the optimization of quay wall designs or the...master thesis 2024

Bechan, Rushil (author)The abstract outlines a study focusing on improving the design approach for flexible dolphins, vital marine structures used for vessel berthing and mooring. Current design methodologies, particularly those outlined in the CROW C1005 handbook (2018), are questioned due to potential conservatism stemming from insufficiently calibrated partial...master thesis 2024

Katona, Misha (author)Through several contractions, stiff competition, and increasing passenger expectations, airports must evolve continually. One of the main avenues for this has been improving the efficiency of the security check- points, which are airports’ primary bottlenecks. Operational optimisation methods, such as resource and task scheduling are relatively...master thesis 2024

FANG, Siyuan (author)In recent years, with the rapid expansion of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, more and more research and commercial projects have focused on various application areas of IoT. Signify, as a leading player in the smart home industry, has been deeply involved in this field for many years, particularly focusing on smart lighting for smart homes and...master thesis 2023

Effenberger, Moritz (author)This research focuses on reliability-based, Bayesian updating of grout anchors’ bearing capacity. Firstly, grouted anchors are commonly used in practice, even though large uncertainties surround their bearing capacity. Secondly, every anchor must be tested on their working load for quality assurance. Because of the combination of those two...master thesis 2022

Reddel, Felicitas (author)Misinformation on social media is an urgent grand challenge. Misinformation has caused excess deaths because people abstain from getting vaccinated and other evidence-based prevention behaviors. Misinformation also influences various other important topics such as climate change. And it has the potential to influence countless other areas. In...master thesis 2022

Martinez Colan, Andres (author)Bayesian system identification has been extensively adopted in Structural Health Monitoring as a way to probabilistically infer unobservable parameters of the physical model of a structure using measurement data. Combining the Bayesian approach with distributed optic fibre sensors can potentially improve the accuracy and reduce the uncertainty...master thesis 2022

Zwart, David (author)LoRaWAN is a public Wireless Sensor network with excellent properties like being long-range, low-energy radios and resulting in long battery life. Devices are connected to this network through gateways, and they will run in that deployment for years without replacement. Therefore, bugs and security issues in such devices' firmware are present...master thesis 2022

Steffner, Martin (author)This thesis project aims at exploring the challenges of sustainability within the segment of ski-helmets. It should lead to locating opportunities for transitioning them into the Circular Economy.<br/><br/>Ski-helmets are single-impact items, comprised of multiple different materials in inseparable product assemblies that prevent disassembly and...master thesis 2021

Bruins Slot, Hilco (author)The Netherlands is a country prone to flooding. Recent assessments led to the insight that protection levels of many flood defences should be increased. Integrating reinforcement measures is a difficult task as many dikes are situated in densely populated areas. Conventional reinforcement measures include berm construction or the implementation...master thesis 2021

Kentrop, Daniël (author)The construction of a dike improvement often causes a decrease in reliability during construction. Raising a dike may give rise to excess pore water pressures in the subsoil, resulting in a temporal strength decrease. Observing the survival of such a loading condition might provide information on the strength of a dike. Therefore, this research...master thesis 2021

Schouten, Onno (author)Quay walls are often designed with Finite Element models (FE models) to take into account the complex soil-structure interaction and highly non-linear soil behaviour. These are complex models that rely on many input parameters that have uncertainties. Nowadays, new quay walls are often equipped with sensors that collect information about the...master thesis 2020

Li, Ze (author)In SAR interferometry, the data acquired by satellite are large. The points in the dataset are usually expressed in spatial-temporal dimension in which many epochs may be included. Extra information including contextual values and data from other sources sometimes are important to be taken into account when analyzing the deformation based on the...student report 2020

Büller, Jeroen (author)Throughout the years the requirements of sheet pile walls have changed. Therefore reassessment of these structure's reliability is of importance. In this thesis, Bayesian updating is used for the reliability updating task. Updating processes require measurements of the structure under known conditions. Although for practical and economical...master thesis 2019

van den Berg, Paulien (author)The dynamic and fast-changing environment brings challenges for generating long-term visions of the future; scenarios. Outdated scenarios will result in future pathways that are no longer achievable and therefore reduces their relevance and usefulness for making decisions. As some uncertainty is resolved over time, while other uncertainties...master thesis 2019

Nasir, Mesay (author)The agent - based modeling of freight transport that captures both the variety of actors and their complex decisions has not made as much progress as in passenger transport. Efforts towards agent-based models must include firms. However, the synthesis of a firm population in the context of urban freight transport has gotten little attention in...master thesis 2019

Graur, Dan (author)Given the increasing popularity of Machine Learning, and the ever increasing need to solve larger and more complex learning challenges, it is unsurprising that numerous distributed learning strategies have been brought forward in recent years, along with many large scale Machine Learning frameworks. It is however unclear how well these...master thesis 2019

Gupta, Abhishek (author)The thesis presents a numerical study on dredging induced undrained instability and subsequent static liquefaction of submarine landslides. For the study, a pre-existing hydro-dynamic uncoupled submarine slope numerical model, developed by Molenkamp (1999), has been modified to incorporate a fully hydro-dynamic coupled interaction between...master thesis 2019

den Adel, Nick (author)The design and reassessment of quays is subject to uncertainties. Examples of these uncertainties are the soil parameters, soil behavior and the current state of the structural parts. Especially in the reassessment of existing structures it is hard to prove a quay to be safe. In this thesis Bayesian updating is used as a method to reduce this...master thesis 2018

Schout, Arthur (author)Correctly predicting the structural behavior of the Pioneering Spirit is vital for ensuring the structural integrity of the ship and the cargo. A detailed finite element model is used to predict the structural behavior of the Pioneering Spirit. The finite element method is based on fundamental principles in solid mechanics. However, when using...master thesis 2018
