Mulder, Ike (author)Packing problems are concerned with filling the space with copies of a certain object, so that the least amount of space stays unoccupied. The famous Kepler conjecture asserts that the cannonball packing of spheres is the most efficient packing achievable, and was recently formally proven by Hales.<br/><br/>Dostert, Guzman, Oliveira Filho and...master thesis 2019

Sethi, Shubham (author)The increasing penetration of PE converter interfaced generation units in electrical power systems have given rise to many challenges in the power system operation. Two of the most important challenges are the voltage control and frequency control in the absence of conventional generation units. Furthermore, the PE converters can interact with...master thesis 2019

de Boom, Jeroen (author)Air bearings are known for their low friction losses, constant viscosity and cleanliness, making them favourable in numerous high-tech applications. The relatively low aerostatic bearing stiffness is the major topic in state-of-the-art research and some recently proposed concepts are able to create infinite stiffness. This results in a strong...master thesis 2019

Asgharzadeh, Fatemeh (author)Construction industry is the biggest waste producer industry in the world. Circular economy introduces methods to increase the recovery of materials’ value by returning them back to construction cycles; as its cornerstone, deconstruction is introduced to eliminate demolition. Design for Deconstruction (DfD) facilitates deconstruction at the end...master thesis 2019

Bhoraskar, Akshay (author)This study aims at a possible solution to predict the fuel consumption of heavy duty diesel trucks, particularly, the tractor semitrailer for their long haul operations using various machine learning techniques. It intends to provide a possible alternative to simulation or physics based models, which often are very complicated. The stringent...master thesis 2019

Venkatachalam, Pradeep (author)Hardware implementations of encryption schemes are unprotected against side-channel analysis techniques. Physical realizations of secure algorithms leak side-channel information through power, noise, time, sound and electromagnetic radiation. Data-dependent correlations with this leakage are exploited to obtain secret information. Power analysis...master thesis 2019

Dijkhuizen, Joël (author)The inertial parameters of a vehicle, which include the mass, centre of gravity position and the moments of inertia, influences the dynamics of the vehicle. Currently, the modelling of the vehicle is done by assuming fixed, conservative, values for the inertial parameters. Knowing the exact values may increase the performance, safety and comfort...master thesis 2019

Papanastasiou, Vasileios (author)The radar micro-Doppler (m-D) signature of human gait has already been used successfully for a few classification tasks of human gait, for instance walking versus running and determining the number of humans under observation. owever, the more challenging problem of personnel identification has not been solved yet. The aim of this study is to...master thesis 2019

Heitzig, Dorian (author)This study investigates the wing deformation of the flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV) DelFly II in various flight configurations. Experiments were carried out with the MAV tethered in a windtunnel test section. To determine the best suited measurement approach, a trade-off study was carried out which showed that a point tracking approach...master thesis 2019

Türkcan, Okan Fehmi Saban Fred (author)This thesis focuses on the development of a computational model for early-stage design decision support of naturally ventilated terminal structures. The model is developed in a parametric Rhino Grasshopper environment paired with Python coding and CFD analyses through OpenFOAM. Optimization of air distribution parameters is performed with...master thesis 2019

van der Wielen, Michael (author)In recent years the growth in the amount of available data has increased enormously. More and more companies, government organizations and citizens are becoming data dependent. Simultaneously with this growth in the availability of the amount of data, there is increasing interest in opening up this data. Open data is data that is freely...master thesis 2019

Montella Lavin, Andrea (author)The current thesis explores the impact that the use of visual contracts has from the fairness perspective. The project developed in collaboration with the company Visual Contracts, a start-up specialized in Legal Design Thinking, aims to provide an added value and evidence that supports the relevance of their activity. A design process that...master thesis 2019

Cordoba Parra, Mariana (author)The built environment contributes with 39% of the CO2 emissions in the world [3]. At the same time it is a sector that is expected to grow from US$10.9 trillion (2017) to US$12.9 trillion (2022) [4]. A sector with such an economic growth but with a negative environmental impact needs to innovate in order to reduce its carbon footprint. These are...master thesis 2019

Franzen, Thijs (author)Musculoskeletal models often use Hill-type models to study and simulate muscle behaviour. Due to fast simulation time and ability to simulate large and slow movements Hill-type models have remained largely unchanged throughout recent years. Large and slow movements spend a large part in steady state behaviour and thus experience limited...master thesis 2019
