Boerrigter, T.J. (author)Coda Wave Interferometry analysis is studied for rocks subjected to brittle deformation which is induced by an Uniaxial Compressive Strength testing machine. Ultrasonic pulses, 1 MHz and 2.25MHz, are sent through rock samples and recorded throughout the loading up-to failure. A novel method is proposed, the rolling cross correlation, which can...master thesis 2017

Fuehrer, Eva (author)The transformation of buildings is one of the main emergent themes in contemporary architecture. This does not only count for monuments, but also<br/>for the existing housing stock. This graduation project deals with the transformation of 4 buildings in Delft, build in the ERA- building system – a non-traditional construction system.<br/>Because...master thesis 2017

Kaas, Bart (author)Energy flexibility is the ability to change power production or consumption over time. It is required for a power system to function properly, to balance supply and demand. Currently, the largest providers of energy flexibility in the Netherlands can be found on the supply side and consist mainly out of fossil fueled power plants. As these are...master thesis 2017

Klapwijk, Anouk (author)With a new scale of operating and constructing large offshore wind farms, harbours and adjacent cities are facing a transition. This transition will include an increase of work migration and temporary citizens within the area. The construction of a wind farm from the port of Vlissingen-Oost will result in a comings and goings of all kind of high...master thesis 2017

Plaza Gonzalez, Vicente (author)In most of city centres in the Netherlands, there is a growing demand for residential housing. However, as most of the land is occupied by existing buildings, developers recur to demolish and build higher buildings, in order to fulfil the urban need. Even though demolition, may be the simplest option in technical and economic terms, it can also...master thesis 2017

Nardi, Alex (author)This research aims at modeling the trajectory followed by the Galileo spacecraft during a variety of flybys about the Galilean moons. The chosen flybys have good Earth’s elevation angles and either low or high closest-approach altitudes, so that the comparison of the two can give relevant insight into the accuracy of the corresponding...master thesis 2017

van der Jagt, Geert (author)<i>Introduction.</i> Increased joint resistance to imposed movement (“muscle hypertonia”) is a common finding in patients with an upper motor neuron syndrome, following stroke. Contributors to muscle hypertonia are of neural (increased reflex activity) and non-neural (altered visco-elastic properties) nature. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy ...master thesis 2017

Cavallo, Gaia (author)Human joint admittance changes with numerous factors constituting the operational point. For large changes of the operational point, joint admittance can be identified using Linear Time-Varying methods on torque and angular<br/>position signals measured on human joints. Out of the available methods, the Skirt Decomposition method was selected...master thesis 2017

van Dongen, björn (author)Despite great strides made in understanding and modelling Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRPs), their full potential is held back by the inability to accurately predict failure. Contrary to past attempts focused on isolated application of stress-strain and fracture mechanics based failure theories, this research builds upon the existing framework by...master thesis 2017
