Nijveldt, T. (author)In the high-tech industry the call for higher precision and higher accuracy will never vanish. One of the aspects that influences precision and accuracy is transportation. To transport an object contact is needed. Stigmatically thinking, contact means having a mechanical connection between the transporter and the object to transport. However, if...master thesis 2015

Tang, J. (author)Variable-stiffness panels have previously shown enhanced buckling performance compared to constant-stiffness panels, due to the beneficial load and stiffness redistribution. Two semianalytical models based on the Galerkin method and the Ritz method have been developed in order to solve the buckling problem of variable-stiffness composite panels ...master thesis 2015

Nugteren, F.A. (author)First, the focus of a literature review was on industry visions and fatigue life assessments. Hence fatigue analysis methodology —with a special focus on local modelling— was thoroughly investigated because this is the Shell and industry accepted method to define and assess fatigue life. Secondly, a new strategy was developed to stretch the...master thesis 2015

Gribling, S.J. (author)In order to help network operators with their long term planning, a (part of a) decision support system has been developed in this thesis. We have compared two local search methods and we have investigated the influence of choosing the initial state more wisely. The choice of initial state is based upon the solution of a binary program...master thesis 2015

Meijerman, M.J. (author)The number of cars on the road and the need for transportation has increased rapidly during the past decades, leading to an increase of congestion. Traffic congestion and delays lead to high societal costs. Congestion leads to a capacity drop, i.e. the capacity of the road is reduced when congestion sets in. Due to limited financial and physical...master thesis 2015
