Kramer, Timothy (author)Nowadays, low-duty CNC machines use the conventional belt-driven system, which works well for relatively small machines. However this design brings several complications the engineer has to account for: creep; backlash; complex assembly and more importantly the limited stiffness of the belt. This limited stiffness results in belt stretch and...master thesis 2020

Winkel, S. (author)In the current breakwater design process, not all feasible concepts can be explored due to time constraints. However, designers are also influenced by breakwaters constructed near, or at the same location as their breakwater project. But also conservative assumptions influence the breakwater design process, for instance, regarding the wave...master thesis 2020

Panhuyzen, Rogier (author)Background Despite its high demand, prostheses are too often abandoned because they fail to meet the main requirements control, comfort and cosmesis. Body-powered hook prostheses provide good control due to their proprioceptive feedback but are in general not efficient nor appealing. The WILMER group has developed an appealing voluntary-opening...master thesis 2020
