Smolders, Timothy (author)Superyachts are expected to be perfect since the owner pays millions for them, and the worst that could happen is tilting the ship once it floats. The lightweight, including the center of gravity, is essential to know with a high degree of certainty to prevent this. However, the lightweight is already expected in an early design phase, when...master thesis 2022

French, Shin (author)Since the transition period from tie-stall to free-stall, at the end of the previous century, lameness became more and more prominent. A preventive claw trimming technique was developed for lameness prevention. It is recommended to trim the claws twice a year but this does not always happen so often in practice. One of the things that preventive...master thesis 2022

(author)Gravitational Wave detectors require feedback control to control the length between the sensitive components of the detector. The degrees of freedom in the control system are inherently coupled and the level of interaction furthermore varies over time. A systematic control design approach for the feedback controllers is presented which...journal article 2022
