Wubben, Rolf (author)After the breakup of the Stratos III vehicle, inertial roll coupling was pinpointed to be the root cause. In order to battle the problem a propulsive roll control system was suggested to keep the roll rate under acceptable bounds. A restartable hybrid rocket engine using nitrous oxide and ABS plastic was proposed. 27 tests have been performed of...master thesis 2022

Koekkoek, Aron (author)Ammonia (NH3) may reduce CO2 emissions from the marine industry as it is carbon-free and more energy-dense than hydrogen or batteries. Pure ammonia exhibits poor combustion characteristics, so several researchers have already operated small-scale internal combustion engines (ICEs) with ammonia-hydrogen blends. However, nitrogen oxides NOx and...master thesis 2021

Berden, Freek (author)Transcended manufacturing is a new emerging manufacturing paradigm in response to the rising need for mass personalisation and ultra-personalised products. Through product personalisation, people can assert their identity in an increasingly impersonal world. But the one-off a kind nature of ultra-personalised make them hard to manufacture with...master thesis 2021

Pratt, Angus (author)Infrastructure finds itself at a convoluted juncture. A vast network of problems and choices are to be made, where the right course of action can solve the issues that has befuddled the infrastructure domain. These problems can be briefly described as; ageing assets that are no longer fit for purpose, use of infrastructure as a political tool...master thesis 2021

Sobieraj, Daniel Sobieraj (author)Food has played an important role in shaping our metropolitan regions, such as Westland in South Holland, The Netherlands. The industrialisation and globalisation of agriculture in Westland has prioritised economy and efficiency, creating issues of liveability and sustainability. The market-driven expansion of the agri-food industry has...master thesis 2021

Drašković, Sonja (author)Today we are facing an unpredictable future due to our climate change, which is causing an acceleration in sea-level rise and consequently flooding. Coastlines, docks, ports, deltas are at greater risk of flooding and damage, they are vulnerable to the escaping water and wetness, which leaves behind sorrow and grief. This thesis focuses on...master thesis 2021

Haddou, Assia (author)The environmental impact of aviation is a well-known issue scientists all around the world are desperate to tackle. The population that can afford air travel is growing and this demand is likely to double within the next 20 years. This increasing demand comes at a hefty price: the emissions of greenhouse gases cause climate change and local air...master thesis 2021

Rozendaal, Jelger (author)To support Van Oord’s path towards a low-emission future fleet, this thesis has focused on the technical, environmental and economic impact of a methanol hybrid power plant design for new-build offshore working vessels (OWVs). These Dynamic-Positioning (DP) vessels are known for their large and dynamic power plants and have to limit their NOx...master thesis 2021

Kruik, Melvin (author)Damping vibrations of flexible structures is a subject of importance in several industries, as the aerospace and high-tech industry. Especially when the ratio of damping over weight needs to be high. In literature optimization of this ratio is achieved in several manners, through optimization of individual damping methods, ie. active and passive...master thesis 2020

Vertongen, Jens (author)The development of the Delft Cylinder Hand (DCH) demonstrated the design of a lightweight and functional hydraulic body-powered (BP) hand prostheses. The low friction losses of the hydraulics make it an attractive alternative to a classical mechanic transmission using rigid linkages and Bowden cables. There are benefits and trade-offs associated...master thesis 2020

Swart, Jeroen (author)A time series is a series of data points indexed in time order. It can represent real world processes, such as demand for groceries, electricity usage and stock prices. Machine Learning (ML) models that accurately forecast these processes enable improved decision-making for reducing waste and increasing efficiency. Previous research has produced...master thesis 2020

Atkins, Megan (author)One of the goals outlined during the Paris Agreement in 2015 aimed at 'holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C'. In conjunction with this, the Klimaatakkord of the Netherlands aims to 'reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the...master thesis 2020

Qamar, Fadhil Ahmad (author)The global issue on global warming leads nations to reduce their carbon emission, and one way to do it is by decarbonising the power system and employing higher penetration of renewable energy technology. However, due to the variable nature of renewable energy, their integration to the power system poses challenges to the utilities and system...master thesis 2020

Theulings, Maarten (author)Origami structures have become of increasing importance in the field of engineering, due to their lightweight, compact and stiff properties. To design these structures, progress is being made into incorporating origami modeling in the Finite Element Method. To implement an arbitrarily located fold on an existing mesh, either re-meshing or...master thesis 2019

Marinel-lo Amat, Maximilià (author)Trials is a subdiscipline of mountain biking that consists of two variants: one practiced with a trials bicycle and one with a trials motorcycle. Though these two disciplines have the same basic requirements, there are clear distinctions in the technical sports gestures that the respective athletes employ. This is due to some fundamental...master thesis 2019

Tamarzians, Michel (author)The population worldwide is growing rapidly which leads to an increase of the energy demand. Simultaneously, the established energy resources are being depleted and contribute negatively to the climate. The necessity for a sustainable and inexhaustible energy source, to deal with the increasing energy demand in an ecological friendly approach,...master thesis 2019
