Cracking at the unheated side of a tunnel during the heating and cooling phase of a fire

This thesis focuses on assessing the crack width and durability at the outside of an immersed tunnel in case of fire inside the tunnel. Previous research (for instance Nieman [20]) addressed only the heating phase of a tunnel while also the inevitable cooling phase may have a large influence on the crack width. A user supplied code was written...

Glasvezel communicatiesystemen met meer niveau transmissie en met Partial Response technieken

Er is onderzocht in hoeverre meer niveautransmissie en Partial Response technieken een vergroting van de capaciteit van de glasvezelverbinding kunnen geven. Bij de beschrijving van de theorie wordt het quantumkarakter van het licht als uitgangspunt genomen. Het blijkt mogelijk om de berekening van beide systemen onder een noemer te brengen. De...
