Kolthof, Roos (author)<b>Background</b><br/>Spasticity is a condition that affects patients who have sustained an upper motor neuron lesion. Such lesions include for example cerebral palsy (CP), of which 35% is affected by spasticity, and stroke, of which 90% is affected by spasticity. Pharmacological therapy often involves the prescription of oral baclofen. However,...master thesis 2024

Heumassej, Yannick (author)This study proposes the novel concept of recycling space debris as a means of supplying material resources for the establishment of a permanent Lunar presence while simultaneously cleaning up Earth’s orbital environment. This expands the scope of traditional debris mitigation efforts, which focus only on removing debris. As a first step, the...master thesis 2024

van Briemen, Ruben (author)Moss covered surfaces are a promising way to mitigate the urban heat island effect. A layer of moss on a building’s façade reduces heat absorption during summer, hence passively cooling the building and its surroundings. The startup Respyre wants to offer such moss layers as a commercial product. A bio-gel mixed with moss fragments is sprayed on...master thesis 2024

Maan, Gijsbert (author)Haptic bilateral teleoperation is a concept where operators can feel, interact with and manipulate objects in a remote environment. The latency, often introduced by a network over a long distance, on force feedback poses a problem when trying to interact with objects. Model mediated teleoperation tries to mitigate this latency, but introduces...master thesis 2024

Oulad Si Omar, Marouan (author)In this thesis a new efficient model has been developed in the thermal analysis of Laser Powder Bed Fusion, an Additive Manufacturing (or: 3D-printing) method that is used to manufacture metal products. During this process, a laser is used as a heat source to melt metal powder grains to each other, that are solidified when cooled down. In Laser...master thesis 2024

Kukkola, Max (author)Heterogeneous materials are vital for both the modern engineer and inquisitive scientist alike. They make up a vital material class that can either form inevitably as a result of material processing (such as crystallization in metals) or can be intentionally designed for to gain desirable properties (such as anisotropy in composites). As such,...master thesis 2024

Maćkowiak, Pawel (author)The inability to check how our Internet traffic is being handled and routed poses all kinds of security and privacy risks. Yet, for the typical end-user, the Internet indeed is such a black box. This thesis, adheres to the call for an Internet that is more transparent, and as a step forward proposes a mechanism that carefully balances the desire...master thesis 2024

Pimpalkar, Adhiraj (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is attributed to higher material deposition rates and medium to large build volumes. Integration of multi-axis (more than three) material deposition kinematics in WAAM can bring a paradigm shift in the metal additive manufacturing industry. The material build-up mechanism employing directed energy...master thesis 2024
