In aircraft maintenance, the initial maintenance schedule of an aircraft is highly dependent on the maintenance planning document. This document, set up by manufacturers, regulators and operators, contains all the requirements for the initial maintenance schedule of a specific aircraft. It serves as a reference for the development of an...

This thesis describes the process of the development of the toolkit: Durf te delen (Dare to share). A toolkit to support both a victim of sexual abuse and her confidant (person of trust) during the process of disclosing the experience with sexual abuse. This thesis focuses on female victims, due to the fact only women participated in the...

Flight control of the DelFly is challenging, because of its complex dynamics and variability due to manufacturing inconsistencies. Machine Learning algorithms can be used to tackle these challenges. A Policy Gradient algorithm is used to tune the gains of a Proportional-Integral controller using Reinforcement Learning. Furthermore, a novel...

Public transportation ridership has grown significantly over the past decades and this growth is expected to continue into the future. Crowding at train and metro stations is therefore experienced more frequently, resulting in safety issues, decreased comfort levels, increased total travel times and modality shifts. On the long term large...

Freight transporters use software kits to plan the routes for their trucks. Breaks required by the European drivers legislation are nowadays planned as late as possible. However, in some cases it is beneficial to plan these mandatory breaks during waiting time, such as truck driving bans. In this thesis this problem is addressed by computing...

Since GPS tends to fail for indoor positioning purposes, alternative methods like indoor positioning systems (IPS) based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) are developing rapidly. Generally, IPS are deployed in environments covered with obstacles such as furniture, (partition-) walls, people and electronics influencing the signal propagation. The...

In the past few decades, there has been an ongoing shift from work organised around individual jobs to team-based structures (Hansen, 2006; Edmondson et al., 2007; Bell et al., 2012). Teams can offer “greater adaptability, productivity, and creativity than any one individual can offer and provide more complex, innovative, and comprehensive...

This project has studied the different gates of Maastricht, looking for their grammar. The gates have turned into a public colonnade in his building that changes proportion and rhythm as you move through. To give the gates a contemporary form the natural stone has been replaced by precast concrete. The details work as modern ornaments that...

Major advancements over the last few decades in communication networks gave rise to the<br/>new paradigm of Networked Control Systems (NCSs). Within this paradigm, sensing and<br/>actuation signals are exchanged among various parts of a single system or among many<br/>subsystems via communication networks. Although this enables one to perform...

In the last years, Floating Car Data (FCD) has risen as a technology that has the potential to replace legacy sensors, reduce associated installation and maintenance costs and offer new possibilities in the field of traffic management. FCD refers to the use of sources such as in-vehicle systems with network connectivity or road users’ mobile...

Erosion of the seabed around offshore structures, due to current and waves, is a common occurrence.<br/>Scour protection by rock placement can be done in order to limit erosion and its consequences. Tideway<br/>Offshore Solutions will use the multipurpose vessel ’Living Stone’ to execute such rock placement<br/>operations. Aboard the Living...

The Netherlands Aerospace Centre is increasingly improving Selective Laser Melting (SLM) capabilities. It is working with academics and industry on demonstrators to prove the current state of the art of SLM. Recently<br/>they started with additive manufacturing (AM) of internal manifolds. This thesis aims to provide a novel design approach by...

Automated Vehicles (AV) will be introduced on public roads in the near future. This would result in automated vehicles sharing the urban space with other road users including drivers of traditional vehicles and vulnerable road users. Pedestrians might be unable to distinguish the vehicle type (traditional or automated) they are interacting with...

In 2015, the Dutch government initiated the ‘longitudinal training dams pilot project’. With the help of longitudinal dams, a two-channel system is created in which the river is divided into a main and a side channel. A combination of an inlet and several openings between the dams allows water and sediment to be exchanged between the two...

This report describes the project of designing an interactive exhibit for children in the context of Science Centre Delft to actively explore, and thereby learn about, the interactions of light and sound beams with materials. It involves the application of a directional speaker in a totally new and dynamic way to trigger sound and light effects....

The application of stability checks in simulated offshore wind structures is performed through tools that are established in the offshore wind industry. In particular, the structure should fulfill certain strength and fatigue criteria among which Fatigue Limit States (FLSs) checks are critical. In terms of the process, fatigue assessment can be...

Efficient design of woven composite structures is limited by a knowledge gap in predictive modeling of their behaviour. Fatigue modeling in particular is difficult and limited by a lack of experimental data. For compression-compression (C-C) or tension-compression (T-C) fatigue, experimental results in literature are uncommon. In this master...

At the moment, the worldwide demand for air conditioning is rapidly growing, and it is expected to exceed the demand for space heating by the 2060s. However, traditional refrigerants such as CFCs and HCFCs are regulated or phased out by the Montreal and Kyoto protocol. Secondary loop refrigerant systems use less of these harmful refrigerants...

Striving to improve structural efficiency the aerospace industry shows increasing interest in variable-stiffness composite laminates. Advanced fiber placement is a hybrid manufacturing technique that offers the flexibility of both filament winding and automated tape laying. With the development of this novel system curved tows can be placed and...
