Mooring system design, related to Pioneering Spirit: Improvement of a mooring system to secure a barge alongside Pioneering Spirit in offshore conditions, including an evaluation of the dynamic loads

Continuous development in the wind turbine industry leads to increasing size of wind turbines. Allseas investigates the possibility to enter the offshore wind turbine installation industry with Pioneering Spirit.<br/>For Allseas’ preliminary wind turbine installation design, wind turbines are assembled offshore, requiring wind turbine components...

The Delft Pro Simulator: An accessible and 3D-printable prosthesis simulator to simulate transradial limb absence

<b>Introduction: Prosthesis simulators are essential tools for research and rehabilitation. They can be used to increase the amount of participants in research studies or to assist in rehabilitation. The main goal of this master thesis is to design a functioning prosthesis simulator, which can be used with commonly used...

A probabilistic approach to sheet pile driveability predictions by vibro hammers

During the design phase of a foundation installation aspects are easily overlooked. When this aspect is overlooked a foundation element risks not reaching its design depth or getting damaged during the installation process. As a result significant delays and/or costs could occur. A driveability study gives insight in the installation aspects of...

Improvement of onboard wave height measurement

To prepare and conduct shore operations in safe environment, it is important to possess an accurate sea state forecast. In this thesis it is assessed whether it is possible to estimate the real time sea state at a vessel, without using any instruments deployed in the water. As a matter of fact, in-situ measurements are not always possible, for...
