Building and roof type classification on 3D city models

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, 3D city models have become more accurate and complex. Despite their widespread availability of open-source 3D city model datasets, these invaluable resources remain underutilized. Our primary goal centers on the classification of building and roof types. For our client, Spotr, our work directly impacts on...

The Future of Additive Manufacturing of Spare Parts

The master thesis project explores the spare parts business due to the evidence available on how well it contributes to the revenues and profits of firms. With increasing product variety, shorter product lifecycles and market competition, it is necessary for firms to supply spare parts to customers for keeping the products functional....

DeepSleep: A sensor-agnostic approach towards modelling a sleep classification system

Sleep is a natural state of our mind and body during which our muscles heal and our memories are consolidated. It is such a habitual phenomenon that we have been viewing it as another ordinary task in our day-to-day life. However, owing to the current fast-paced, technology-driven generation, we are letting ourselves be sleep-deprived, giving...

Application of Mixed and Hybrid Finite Element Formulations

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are a fundamental tool in modelling various physical phenomena. The lack of closed form solutions in most cases continues to provide a strong incentive to seek stable and consistent numerical methods. This report deals specifically with the mixed and hybrid nite element formulations; ideas that were...

Influence of Parametric Modelling of Wing Subsystems on the Aircraft Design and Performance

Aircraft design methodologies have been significantly developing from the past few years with the advancements in knowledge based techniques. These methods enable the storage of design knowledge and rules, and reuse them to create different types of designs, thus preventing the designer to perform repetitive tasks. Tasks such as parametric...

Optimization of a wind turbine blade-root connection

For several years T-bolts have been a popular choice for joints in the field of wind energy, specifically for connecting the blade roots to the hub of the wind turbine. Their use is mandated by the geometry of the joint and they perform very well under pure axial loading. However recent analyses have shown significant bending stresses in the T...

Concept Design and Analysis of TWD Motion Compensated Pile Gripper

Nowadays, as it is a easy sequence in construction and installation, the monopile is the most common used support structure. Due to the limitation of water depth and lifting capacity, jack-up vessels gradually become unable to fulfill the demands of monopile installation. Floating vessels can expand the market of wind farminstallation due to the...

Using the Green Public Procurement policy as guide for green innovation in the flooring industry

Sustainable development, after all these years development, has already been accepted as one of the themes of 21st century, especially after the reveal of some serious environmental problems, such as global warming, resource exhaustion, etc. Construction industry, although being considered as one of the traditional industries of which the...

Sparse Arrays: Vector Sensors and Design Algorithms

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of acoustic sources is of great interest in a number of applications. Acoustic vector sensors (AVSs) provide an edge over traditional scalar sensors since they measure the acoustic velocity field in addition to the acoustic pressure. It is known that a uniform linear array (ULA) of M conventional scalar...

Last mile connectivity for Urban India 2020

This report is a compilation of the 6 months of Graduation project executed in India. It is based on the Vision in Product Design (ViP)-design methodology. At the end of this project, a proposal was made to the client for Urban India 2020. From the initial design brief, a suitable planning was put in place by combining research methodologies...

Allocation of Opportunistic Spectrum for Cognitive Radio Ad hoc Networks

Cognitive Radios (CRs) address the problems of spectrum scarcity and under-utilization of the spectrum. However, realizing a CR network is neither easy nor straight-forward. The link layer in CR Ad hoc Networks is responsible for allocating suitable channels, out of the currently available channels. It is also responsible for setting up...
