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...

This thesis describes the process of designing a running game in mixed reality, inspired by superhuman sports. <br/><br/>The process started with analysing the possible design directions in the development of (superhuman) sports and corresponding emerging technologies. For this purpose, the concept of superhuman sports is considered. Superhuman...

This research aims to investigate the validity of the standard power curve (i.e. measured power curve M-PC) in non-standard wind conditions and the integration of those results into recommended practices for future warranty negotiations. The Power Performance Testing (PPT) is carried out on a ABC1 with rotor diameter between 105-110m and rated...

In this thesis, we look into two different researches with the same basis; information centric networking. Enhanced resilience is one of the often mentioned advantages of this paradigm shift in internet networks. However, this resilience is not quantified in literature so far. In this thesis the information resilience of hierarchical ICN...

The subject matter of this thesis report investigates a synthetic inertia and dynamic stability technique for grid inter-connection of large VSC-HVDC connected offshore windfarms. Assuming traditional load frequency control on the AC grid for the short-term reallocation of power generation resources due to load disturbances, this technique ties...

This project focuses on dog-human bond. The lack of knowledge on how to educate and raise a dogs sometimes generates situations where the owner treats the pet as a human companion. Really often, the owner’s approach is based only on the parameters of human well-being and not on the ones of the animal. As a consequence, pet owners may (without...

Lots of people go camping to submerge in nature to break with their busy daily routine. Current camping shelters do not seem to support the desired nature experience of these campers. While protecting these campers from external conditions the shelters closes the campers off from the outdoors they came for. This led to the following hypothesis:...

A humanoid robot is being developed, intended to operate robustly in a typical day-to-day human environment. Its ability to react quickly to stochastic disturbances, especially its ability to avoid falling, termed stability in this context, is of prime importance. The choosing of a suitable actuator that affords such stability is seen as a...

The Master's programme Industrial Ecology is jointly organised by Leiden University and Delft University of Technology - On a global level, the goal is to limit global warming to well below 2°C to avoid irreversible alterations due to climate change. On European level, 20-20-20 targets are introduced which translate into a 20% reduction in...

Magnetic levitation is a recent technology which nowadays is used in high-tech systems. It is developed due to the inherent benefits of these type of setups such as lack of wear, friction and problems due to mechanical phenomenon as play and backlash. Achieving higher accelerations and ultra-precise position control while reducing maintenance. ...

This research has analysed the effect of different holding control strategies for high-frequency bus lines: schedule-based and headway-based holding. An evaluation based on different key performance indicators was conducted, by using a simulation model (BusMezzo). In addition, different operational and contractual difficulties with respect to...

Research has been done on the gender differences in the evaluation of nanotechnology by Dutch TU Delft students. The research was executed using a questionnaire which was designed to examine if there are gender differences in the judgement of nanotechnology and if so, which variables play a significant role in this causal relations. Based on the...

The demand for offshore wind farms is developing rapidly due to the increased demand for renewable energy. Installation of foundation piles for offshore wind, however, are accompanied by a serious by-product which is the high underwater noise levels emitted during the pile-driving process. Current mitigation methods have proven to decrease the...

In this thesis, shrinkage and variable selection is used on one of the most famous models in survival analysis, the Cox proportional hazards model. <br/>First, the Cox proportional hazards model is statistically observed, by deriving the so called partial likelihood. This likelihood type of function is used for maximum likelihood estimation of...
