Suresh, Aswin (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can create large parts, due to its high deposition rate. WAAM can be used to create functionally graded materials (FGMs) such as a strong core of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel and corrosion-resistant cladding of austenitic stainless (AUS) steel. However, HSLA and AUS steel are dissimilar metals with...master thesis 2024

Walinga, Hielke (author)The behavior of software systems can be modeled as state machines by looking at the log data from these systems. Conventional algorithms, such as L∗, however, require too much memory to process log data when it gets too large. These algorithms must first load all available data into memory, which is often way too much.<br/>The approach...master thesis 2024
