Exploring Hamstring Injury Risk using an Inertial Measurement Unit-based Method to obtain Muscle Tendon Unit Lengths and Elongation Velocities in Female Field Hockey Players

Hamstring injuries in field hockey are very common. Accurate estimates of muscle tendon unit lengths (MTU) and elongation velocities could give insight into the risk of injury during field hockey specific movements. For accurate measurements the hockey field would be best suited. Inertial measurement technology allows for such measurements;...

Rescue craft davit performance on an FPSO in heavy sea states & davit design proposal

The aim of this research is to increase the workability of a rescue craft launch and retrieval system on FPSOs in heavy sea states. Although a rescue craft’s purpose is to improve safety, multiple incidents recorded in the GISIS database have proven that the launch and recovery operation can be dangerous or even deadly. The problem research...

Modelling the effects of excavation pits on fringing reefs

Many small island developing states (SIDS) are among the most vulnerable to climate change (e.g. sea level rise) and seasonal to inter-annual climate variability, and subsequently experience flooding due to swell waves and wind waves, coastal erosion and salinisation of freshwater lenses. To counteract this, reef flat mining for sand and...

Fieldwork Coastal Enginering 2016

Since 2003 there is a cooperation between the Hydraulic Engineering department of Delft University of Technology and Bulgarian universities. The cooperation focusses on exchange of knowledge and the development of the coast in the area of Varna. Dutch and Bulgarian students get the possibility to gain experience in data collecting, processing...

Living Octrooiraad! Transformatie van een leegstaand rijksgebouw naar luxe appartementen

This graduation plan shows a vacant office building (the former Octrooiraad building) that will be tranformed into (luxery) appartments. With this graduation plan, a answer is given to the question: 'How can the interventions, needed to transform the former Octrooiraad building into its new function, maintain and/or enhance the architectural...

Design of a network stack for directional visible light communication

During the last years, Visible light communication (VLC), a novel technology that enables standard Light-Emitting-Diodes (LEDs) to transmit data, is gaining significant attention. In the near future, this technology could enable devices containing LEDs –such as car lights, city lights, screens and home appliances– to form their own networks. VLC...

Integraal kustontwikkelingsplan Nieuw Holland

Op dit moment spelen in Provincie Zuid-Holland twee belangrijke landuitbreidingsprojecten, te weten de Tweede Maasvlakte en Nieuw-Holland.Om tot een ontwerp van Nieuw-Holland te komen is er gekeken naar de functies en de interacties. In de functionele analyse is allereerst gekeken naar welke functies er behoefte bestaat. De belangrijkste...

Het optimaliseren van een afleidingskanaal op Centraal - Java

Om de hoogwatergolf op de Lower Serang, een rivier op Centraal Java, snel af te voeren, moet een afleidingskanaal worden gegraven. Hiervoor moet een optimale oplossing worden gevonden, d.w.z. een oplossing waarbij de kosten minimaal zijn.
