van Hijfte, Zasha (author)This thesis investigates the behavior of an elastomer spherical structure compressed by a small object compared to the cross-section of the structure. The study is based on the situation in which a child catches a ball multiple times with two hands. This was simplified to a situation where a hemisphere was cyclically compressed by a small object...master thesis 2023

van den Heuvel, Gaia (author)Children with cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have bony deformities of the foot, which lead to pain and gait problems. One of the causes of such a deformity is an imbalance in muscle forces around the foot. In turn, the bony deformity can also alter muscle function, due to, for example, altered muscle moment arm lengths. In this study, the altered...master thesis 2023

Ottenheym, Joris (author)The placement of wind turbines in wind farms is economically beneficial to the industry. Consequently, the wake generated by the upstream turbines introduces interactions with downstream turbines that significantly affect power generation. However, it is common practice to control the individual turbines to operate at their optimal settings and...master thesis 2023

Zwinkels, Stan (author)In household and retail store environments, humans efficiently identify grasp regions of an object to perform everyday tasks. To enable robots to understand the requirements of a task and the properties of an object, a novel grasp framework, called the Shape Primitive and Reasoning Grasping Engine (SPaRGE), is proposed in this thesis. SPaRGE...master thesis 2023

Soors, Aurelie (author)In up to 39% of reduced distal radius fractures, re-displacement of the fracture occurs in the cast. In most cases, the cast becomes too loose as soft tissue swelling decreases over time and the cast no longer provides sufficient support to keep the fracture reduced. This issue could be addressed by introducing a smart memory cast, a cast that...master thesis 2023
