van Baalen, Sander (author)Research in using Topology optimisation as a tool to improve the design process of bridge design. The research focuses on implementing Topology optimisation in the design process of architects and engineers. As an example topology optimisation is used to propose a design for a pedestrian bridge in Amsterdam.master thesis 2017

van Manen, Rijk (author)Compliant mechanisms accomplish their function due to the elastic deformation of their elements rather than using the relative motion of rigid bodies. Thereby the drawbacks of sliding friction, including wear and hysteresis are eliminated. Besides that compliant mechanisms allows monolithic production which facilitates cost reduction and...master thesis 2017

Cancrinus, Nick (author), Max, Gyula (author)Nowadays, localization of cars is mostly done using GPS. Some major disadvantages of this method are that it is not very accurate and that it cannot be used indoors. These disadvantages do not form a major problem when an active human driver is controlling the car, but will become more critical when the autonomy of vehicles increases. The goal...bachelor thesis 2017

Jux, Constantin (author)Aerodynamics research and development often involves large-scale and turbulent flows; may this be a rotor flow, the wake of a car, or the flow passing a human athlete to name a few examples. Volumetric particle image velocimetry (PIV) is well suited for the study of such flows. The introduction of Helium Filled Soap Bubbles (HFSB) for wind...master thesis 2017

Bekker, Bernard (author), Sikkes, Louis (author), Goudriaan, Maiko (author), Meeuwissen, Ruben (author)In order to measure the spectrum of radio emissions from galaxies and other deep space objects, a new superconducting spectrometer, working at very cold temperatures close to the absolute zero, is developed. An advanced cooling system called a cryostat is used to cool down the spectrometer. The cool down of the cryostat involves the control of...bachelor thesis 2017

Epema, Kitso (author)Even though propellers are the oldest form of propulsion, they are still a popular choice for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and passenger aircraft in certain market segments. If the propellers are mounted on the wing, strong propeller-wing interactions alter the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. Using low-order numerical models, it is...master thesis 2017

Hegeman, Rick (author)In this thesis, we model the diusion of a tracer polymer inside of a gel network and simulate it, hoping to nd a connection between the diusion of the polymer and the strength of the gel network. This model is made by using the Rouse model for the gel network and the tracer polymer.<br/>The overdamped Langevin equation is then used to nd a set...bachelor thesis 2017
