This thesis investigates the origins of large sedimentation volumes in the Port of Santos, São Paulo - Brazil. The port is located in the Santos - São Vicente estuarine system, delimited by scarps and subject to intense rainfall. The terminals are placed inside the estuary and their access is provided by a 24 km long channel with mean depths of...

The Nubus ecosystem <br/>The Nubus ecosystem exists out of four parts, the Nubus, the endpoints, the Ki and the user is integral part of it. The Nubus ecosystem is a personal omnipresent pc, accessable via any endpoint (a type of smart device). The Nubus is the heart of the ecosystem, without the Nubus the endpoints would not function. <br/><br/...

At the Paris climate conference in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the first ever universal, legally binding global climate agreement. This combined with the depletion of fossil fuels drives the interest in renewable energy technologies. The thermal gradient in the ocean is a largely untapped source of renewable energy. It can be utilized...

Existing sophisticated numerical micro- and macro models have already proven to be capable of simulating typical masonry behaviour. However, assessing the global response of masonry buildings using brick-to-brick micro modelling or even simplified macro modelling, in which masonry is regarded as a continuum material, takes such an amount of time...

As a result of increased economic development in Colombia, the pressure on the natural system has increased. The export of natural resources through international ports at both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea causes conflicts between infrastructure and the dynamic behaviour of the coastal system. This Master Thesis focusses on the bay...

The Flying V, a concept aircraft configuration, has been proposed by Airbus and TU Berlin. The initial indications of potential improvements in performance over conventional aircraft gave rise to a continuation of the research. For this, the mass characteristics of the configuration must be explored. <br/><br/>A primary structure concept is...

Human movement relies on noisy processes in neurons, muscle cells and sensory cells. Therefore, movements are variable and can never be exactly reproduced. The nervous system seems to exploit this movement noise for motor learning and specifically motor adaptation. However, a positive relation between movement noise and motor adaptation has not...

The structures which HMC installs offshore are fabricated onshore and subsequently moved onto a barge or ship, seafastened and then transported to the offshore location. The process of moving a structure from the onshore quayside to the barge or ship is called the load-out. This load-out can be performed by lifting, skidding or using a trailer ...

With the aging population growing, the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) seems inevitable. As a result, the number of joint replacements is expected to grow substantially within the next decade. Today’s hip replacements have the potential to function for more than 20 years, but due to risk factors such as aseptic loosening, the...

In this project, the opportunities were investigated when combining shape-memory alloy material with 3D printing technology. This combination has the potential to create objects that are able to move on their own. Shape-memory alloys are as the name suggests material with a Shape-Memory this unique quality makes it possible to program a shape...

This project is based on the design of a hydraulic-wind-mill powered reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant (Freshwatermill), focusing on increasing the energy efficiency of the system. While RO membranes are generally not designed for variable operation, wind energy has a characteristic unpredictability and variability. In particular, the...

After stroke, functional recovery may be promoted during the first six months through rehabilitation. Several events are thought to lead to regaining lost functions, among which the remapping of affected limbs to other regions of the cortex is a frequent occurrence. High spatial resolution brain imaging techniques, like magnetic resonance...

L1 adaptive control is a relatively new technique that attempts to tackle the robustness shortcoming of the MRAC controller by applying a low pass filter to the control input. It can be used as an augmentation loop using baseline controllers such as backstepping or PID. This controller has been implemented as an augmentation loop with both these...
