Zoon, Job (author)In the past few years, there has been much research in the field of Autonomous Vehicles (AV). If AVs are implemented in our daily lives, this could have many advantages. Before this can happen, safe driver models need to be designed which control the AVs. One technique that is suitable to create these models is Reinforcement Learning (RL). A...master thesis 2021

van Gils, Martijn (author)Pre-piling templates are often used in the offshore industry to ensure the vertical installation of foundation piles for jacket structures. Boskalis is currently preparing a project that uses these templates in the Taiwan Strait, which is a region known for its relatively soft soils and seismic activity. Consequently, the piles are very long in...master thesis 2020

Sanders, Timo (author)This thesis studies the radiation dose deposited on a 6U CubeSat in interplanetary orbit. The European Space Agency’s radiation data tool SPENVIS has been used to determine the proton flux in interplanetary space during a solar particle event which occurs only once every one hundred years. SPENVIS has further been applied to obtain a dose depth...master thesis 2018

El Marini, S. (author)MARIN has developed the computer program WINDOS for the calculation of wind loads on vessels and various offshore structures. To account forwind shielding effects,semi-empirical relations based on Schlichting’stheory for free turbulent flow are used within the program.An extensive WINDOS investigation is carried out in comparison with the wind...master thesis 2015
