Zhang, X. (author): Tooth extraction is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery. However, it is complicated as well as not fully understood. Different teeth have different structures and strengths. Even teeth of the same type differ depending on ages, genders, races, and other reasons affecting its integrity. During the procedure, the properties of the...master thesis 2016

de Hoon, M.J. (author)In the field of building physics the performance of the building envelope is a highly studied topic. Heat, light, sound and humidity are common topics to include in design requirements. Air tightness is becoming increasingly common in this list, but it still lacks for detailed information on performance requirements or calculation methods. When...master thesis 2016

Yeo, J.W.W. (author)Oil-filled terminations for high voltage XLPE insulated cables have been used for four decades in the Netherlands with a good service record. Prysmian would like to gain better insight into the effects of water contamination in insulating oil, to further extend the in-house experience and potential related failure mechanisms. High voltage...master thesis 2016

Meng, D. (author)This thesis presents a procedure to calculate fatigue damage in tubular connections based on the spectral fatigue analysis method. The critical joints can be detected and the contribution of each wave heading to the fatigue damage can be investigated. The procedure developed is applied to perform the fatigue assessment of Miller jacket.master thesis 2016

Alberts, J.S.C. (author)This thesis discusses dimension reduction of the risk drivers that determine embedded option values by using the class of State Space Hidden Markov Models. As embedded options are typically valued by nested Monte Carlo simulations, this dimension reduction leads to a major reduction in computing time. This is especially important for insurance...master thesis 2016

Haasdijk, S.M. (author)Noise prediction models are critical to assess the noise production of aircraft. They are of growing importance due to the increase in air transport and population. This research focusses on the comparison of the noise predictions of empirical and semi-empirical models. The noise predictions of NIROS, an empirical noise prediction model used by...master thesis 2016

Kramers, J. (author)This thesis analyses the loads that occurred during an ice ridge ramming experiment with the icebreaker Oden. Sea ice ridges are formed due to breaking and deformation of the ice cover. Wind, current, thermal expansion and Coriolis forces induce compression and shear forces onto level ice which can break the ice into rubble. The blocks of ice...master thesis 2016

Schinkel, W.S. (author)Considering the trend in autonomous vehicles, the behaviour of the driver changes from active to passive. In the future, the driver will perform secondary tasks during driving. An example of such a task is reading. For this reason, there is an increase in requirements in respect to ride comfort. Improved suspension systems are of major interest,...master thesis 2016

van Veen, N.P. (author)The stress on water supply systems is increasing, among others due to pollution, increasing demands, source depletion and climate change. More sustainable solutions with respect to water supply will decrease the stress. Rainwater harvesting can be one of these sustainable solutions. Depending on the characteristics of the rainwater harvesting...master thesis 2016

Marcelis, P.J. (author)Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are increasingly being deployed for smart applications. With the rise of smart cities there is a need for low cost and long range Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies. LoRaWAN is an energy efficient and cheap LPWAN solution. It is rapidly being adopted all around the world. LoRaWAN however does not...master thesis 2016

Bijker, J.E. (author)Passengers that bring too much and too large pieces of hand baggage cause costly delays, internal friction and, above all, a negative passenger experience. After internal and external research, the problem was deemed to be too complex to be solved without compromising KLM’s core value of customer intimacy. Gathering relevant factors on the...master thesis 2016

Schipper, R.H.J. (author)Jack-up structures are widely used in the offshore industry. Not only in the field of oil and gas, but also in the installation for offshore wind turbines. These jack-up structures typically consist of three trusswork legs, where the foundation is formed by inverted conical cones that are penetrated into the soil, called spudcans. The spudcans...master thesis 2016

Noordam, A.F. (author)For decades, researchers try to model the subsoil as accurate as possible in order to make cost-efficient and safe geotechnical decisions. A troublesome aspect in modelling of the soil is to determine the heterogeneity within the soil, as this is usually associated with a great deal of uncertainty. Delft University of Technology used a recursive...master thesis 2016
