Sridharan, Anish (author)For travelling from point A to point B, autonomous vehicles generate a route between the points. During the mission, the vehicle uses a motion planning and controls algorithm to follow the planned route while avoiding static and dynamic obstacles. Motion planning algorithms generally plan over a future time horizon to smoothly follow the route...master thesis 2022

Meijer, Diederik (author)The offshore wind sector in Europe has grown significantly over the past 20 years. Following this surge in number of installations, the first generation of turbines is reaching its end-of-life (EOL) phase and thought needs to be put into end-of-life strategies. As the market for lifetime extension is still in its infancy and...master thesis 2022

Arts, Bente (author)Textiles are unimaginable out of our lives - from the moment a human is born until existence stops - textiles are touched by wearing, seeing and feeling them. Where it once was fundamental for survival, today, the textile industry has grown towards a system that prioritises speed, efficiency and uniformity (Goldsworthy & Politowicz, 2018)...master thesis 2022

Lieftink, Lisa (author)Due to population growth, a growing housing shortage, and a space shortage, it is expected that new urban developments in the Netherlands will mainly take place inside existing city boundaries and in high densities. At the same time, it is projected that the effects of climate change will increase, as climate change is expected to intensify....master thesis 2021

Rietema, Bertie (author)Offshore structures are often founded on mud-mat foundations which prevent the structure from settling excessively. Pressure differences are generated under mud-mats during removal from the seabed. These differences lead to a force that resists the uplift. A literature study on breakout resulted in a hypothesized distinction of four mechanisms...master thesis 2022

Bryan, Lotte (author)Emission of ammonia and nitrogen oxides puts pressure on vulnerable ecosystems in The Netherlands. Satellite data from TROPOMI and CrIS gives vertical column density (VCD) maps for nitrogen dioxide and ammonia respectively. The Flux-Divergence method converts a VCD map to an emission map, by temporally averaging the divergence of the flux of the...master thesis 2022

Jebbink, Rinke (author)This research explored potential designs of an innovative mitigation strategy to combat the aircraft-produced ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS). This technique is based on the principle that fine water droplets are able to encapsulate dust and fine particles, which clump together and eventually descent...master thesis 2022

ten Hoopen, Rick (author)An important durability question is whether military off-road vehicles can cope with the fatigue damage from extreme random, complex, and non-stationary loads for the design life of up to 30 years. An accurate life cycle fatigue damage estimation is essential for military off-road vehicles as the lives of military personnel can depend on a...master thesis 2022

Akbaba, Kaan (author)Designing structures that are more sustainable is a relevant topic within the construction industry. By choosing materials that have a low embodied energy value and optimizing the structures that can be constructed by these materials, one could potentially minimize the economical and environmental footprint of a structural design.<br/><br/>As...master thesis 2023

Giitsidis, Konstantinos (author)Trolleybuses are electric buses than run on electric power from overhead electric power lines (catenary) like trams do. Although is a service that dates all the way back to 1882, it has managed to regain interest in the recent years due to the constant electrification of various aspects of the world. This comes as a response towards...master thesis 2022

Franx, Marius (author)The ramifications of plastic pollution on the environment are becoming increasingly serious in various forms throughout the world. In this context, rivers are the most important suppliers of plastics entering the marine environment. However, rivers that contain high loads of plastic waste also directly harm the livelihoods of people living near...master thesis 2022

Lenssen, Daan (author)This thesis presents a new MPC controller which integrates path tracking and stability control into one controller. Previously these tasks were done by separate controllers, where one controller handled the path tracking while another controller ensured the vehicle was kept in the stable operating region. A drawback of this method is that the...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Mengyu (author)Quantum microarchitecture is a key component in bridging the gap between quantum software and quantum hardware of a fully programmable quantum computer. Confronting the control problem of superconducting quantum processors, an experimental microarchitecture (QuMA) has been proposed in previous work. As the size of the target quantum chip...master thesis 2018

Ros, Julian (author)This study addresses the critical aspects of injection well clogging as part of an Aquifer Storage, Transfer and Recovery (ASTR) pilot infiltrating tile drainage water (TDW) from agricultural field into an anoxic brackish sandy aquifer for later re-use as irrigation water for flower bulbs. Two ASTR injection periods suffering from clogging were...master thesis 2021

De Groot, M.R. (author)This thesis is about pricing swaptions under the SABR model or a variant thereof. In the interest market a stochastic local volatility is often used by practitioners to describe the volatility curve in the strike dimension of swaptions. It is a fast approach to inter- and extrapolate market quotes. It is however well-known that this approach is...master thesis 2015

Matyus, O. (author)My design task was the improvement of a Roma settlement in a post industrial city of Hungary, Ózd. After the change of regime the factory, being the main work source, had closed and since then the population has been decreasing. On the other hand this year the government set up a plan to invest in the city through renovating a significant part...master thesis 2015
