Steel manufacturing is a carbon intensive process, that is responsible for approximately 7% of the total global CO2 emissions. Therefore, TATA Steel IJmuiden aims to lower its carbon emissions. One way to bring down emissions, is to replace the existing blast furnace (BF) CO reduction process with the H2-based direct reduction of iron ore (DRI)....

Language is an intuitive and effective way for humans to communicate. Large Language Models (LLMs) can interpret and respond well to language. However, their use in deep reinforcement learning is limited as they are sample inefficient. State-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning algorithms are more sample efficient but cannot understand...

Additive manufacturing technologies are widely gaining more attention, resulting in the development or modification of 3D-printing techniques and materials. At the same time, economical and ecological aspects force the industry to develop materials that are easier and quicker to manufacture, while attaining their desired properties. The...

The focus of this project was the research and development of an affective social touch wearable. AffectiveAir uses pneumatic actuation on the shoulder to convey a library of haptic sensations. The goal was to overcome physical limitations in potential digital communication contexts, by a non-verbal, tactile, and possibly intimate social touch...

The urban tissue of Bressoux, characterized by scars from its architectural and cultural history, presents a unique challenge in terms of revitalization and community integration. This research aims to explore the potential of adaptive strategies and cooperative living as catalysts for mending the urban tissue of Bressoux. The research question...

Recently, there has been growing concerns about CO2-emissions, labour dynamics and demand volumes in the Dutch construction industry and industrialised timber constructions have the potential to help solve parts of these challenges. However, relatively little is known about how to identify pathways to adopt industrialised timber construction in...

This study assesses the application of graph theory to examine the connectivity of aquatic habitat in the Sliedrechtse Biesbosch and preserve or improve the area’s ecological value. The study addresses the relation between hydrodynamics and ecology, and evaluates different definitions of connectivity. Graph theory provides a novel and promising...

The world is facing environmental change, mainly due to human actions. To prevent serious environmental, economic, and societal impacts of climate change, all United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) member countries have committed to limit global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial level by 2050....

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the main tool to use in industry and engineering problems including turbulent flows. Turbulence modeling relies on solving the Navier-Stokes equations. Solving these equations directly takes a lot of time and computational power. More affordable methods solve the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)...

Impacts on offshore installations and ships can cause strains at high rates. It is known that mild steel lower yield stress and hardening are strain rate dependent. Measuring this material behavior is not easy, as test results from many researchers, show heavy vibration. Vibration is normally referred to as ringing. This...

Predicting individual skill retention, the extent to which human operators retain learned skills over time is limited by lengthy experiments and identifying patterns in the highly dimensional data. Using machine learning to process this data and find patterns could provide a regression prediction of this data. This paper investigates the use of...

This study proposes an LCA system that provides haptic guidance during lane changes. This system is fully integrated with LKA functionality to provide continuous lateral support during highway driving. Two different system configurations of this LCA are investigated. One is a generalized LCA that provides lane change reference trajectories based...

“In which way can the design of the residential environment contribute to the social self-reliance of young people with a mild intellectual disability?” We are facing a huge challenge in the Netherlands: we have to build up to ‘1 Million Homes’ by 2030. But such a huge assignment raises the question if those new dwellings will be inclusive...

The Dutch Railways (NS) is the Dutch national passenger railway operator. They own rolling stock that has to be maintained regularly. One of the maintenance facilities executing regular maintenance on regional trains is the maintenance department (OB) in Leidschendam. The aim of this project is to develop a framework for optimizing the...

The Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) is usually the go-to reaction for water-based electrolysis processes. However, this reaction can impede the performance and large-scale implementation of such processes due to its sluggish kinetics and the lack of value of its product stream. In order to boost the feasibility of electrochemical processes,...

The emergence of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) could have a significant impact on traffic efficiency and safety. The effects of CAVs in regular highway traffic are relatively well represented in scientific research. How these effects change in exceptional situations, such as work zones, and how the infrastructure can influence these...

When building a convolutional neural network, many design choices have to be made. In the case of Deepfake detection, there is no readily implementable recipe that guides these choices. This research aims to work towards understanding the effects of design choices in the case of Deepfake detection, using the Python library Keras and publicly...
