Overtoom, Mats (author)During team time trials in road cycling changing schemes are used to spread the workload over the cyclists in the team. Models that provide predictions of race performance already exist for individual time trials. It is proposed that with a performance model for team time trials, the performance of different strategies can be compared and...master thesis 2013

Ernst, R.R.L. (author)The need to increase specific impulse of rocket launcher engines has lead design engineers to start development of ever more complex engine cycles starting from simple gas pressure fed engines to the very complex staged combustion cycle engines. Currently a wide range of different cycles does exist. These cycles not only differ in terms of...master thesis 2014

Polinder, G.J. (author)Many times the railway timetabling problem is infeasible. This means a set of constraints can not be satisfied at the same time. It is hard to solve this by hand. This thesis proposed two algorithm to resolve the infeasibilities and to come up with a timetable. It serves as an extention to the CADANS solver.master thesis 2015

Venter, P. (author)Aero-engine performance is becoming an increasingly regulated aspect in aerospace indus- tries with tighter restrictions on emissions, greater expectations for efficiency and thrust as well as broader requirements for the range of the operating flight envelope. With an increasing consciousness toward these factors during the design of combustors...master thesis 2015

Lenssen, R.H. (author)THE aviation industry is responsible for 12% of the total transportation impact of CO2 while awareness, for decreasing the total carbon footprint, is rising. Both the aerospace and the automotive industry are facing an increasing pressure from society to make the transportation sector more sustainable. Within the automotive industry slowly an...master thesis 2016

Cederhout, Quinten (author)In this dissertation we look at the seriation problem and the applications of this problem. Given a set of items, we try to find an ordering based on the similarity between the items. We start by explaining the mathematical theory behind the seriation problem. Then we describe a couple of different methods that can be used to find a solution for...bachelor thesis 2017

Mühlsteff, Joris (author)In the history of medicine, different treatments for cancer have been developed, such as radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy. However, nowadays more than 50% of the people diagnosed with cancer, undergo a radiotherapy treatment. One of the devices used for the treatment is the CyberKnife: a robotic radiodurgery system that can move around the...bachelor thesis 2017

Vroom, Aram (author)Over the past years, numerous missions for spacecraft with low-thrust propulsion have been planned to include large orbital plane changes. In order efficiently generate and evaluate orbits for such missions, use can be made of the spherical shaping method proposed by Novak. When inclinations larger than 15 degrees are present however, the error...master thesis 2017

Verschelling, Rutger (author)At large-scale events, the large inflow of visitors travelling by car often causes queues on the roads in the direct surroundings of the event. These queues can spill back to the main road network, where through traffic is driving as well: this through traffic will be hindered by the congestion, while those travellers don’t have the event venue...master thesis 2017

van der Molen, Hessel (author)Many robotic systems rely on laser ranging sensors to navigate and map their environment. As robots are getting more advanced, smaller and cheaper, their sensors need to decrease in size and cost, while increasing their reliability and accuracy. Current laser-based sensors have difficulty to meet these properties. They are either large,...master thesis 2017

Oudhof, Nathalie (author)In this thesis we look at the most cost-<br/>effective trajectory for power limited rockets, i.e. the trajectory which costs the least amount of propellant. First some background information as well as the differences between thrust limited and power limited rockets will be discussed. Then the optimal trajectory for thrust limited rockets, the...bachelor thesis 2017

den Uijl, Joris (author)A strategy for completing a dredging project is called a working method. The goal of a tender study is to find an optimal working method for a specific project. To find the optimal working method, the full range of possible solutions should be investigated. However, the available resources during a tender study are often limited and trends in...master thesis 2018

Minguijon Pallas, Pablo (author)Missions to Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are a growing trend in spaceflight. The interest for such bodies is not only justified by the threat that they represent for the Earth, but also because they are potential sources of extra-terrestrial materials, provide windows to the past of the Solar System and to planetary formation, and offer a good...master thesis 2018
