Suresh, Aswin (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can create large parts, due to its high deposition rate. WAAM can be used to create functionally graded materials (FGMs) such as a strong core of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel and corrosion-resistant cladding of austenitic stainless (AUS) steel. However, HSLA and AUS steel are dissimilar metals with...master thesis 2024

Walinga, Hielke (author)The behavior of software systems can be modeled as state machines by looking at the log data from these systems. Conventional algorithms, such as L∗, however, require too much memory to process log data when it gets too large. These algorithms must first load all available data into memory, which is often way too much.<br/>The approach...master thesis 2024

Kuipers, Seppe (author)The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is a widely-used device to measure the light wavefront. Cur- rently, the sensor is used as a gradient sensor, which is achieved by placing the microlens array in the plane conjugate to the deformable mirror and the aberration. The resulting spot pattern is then transformed into a gradient through the use of...master thesis 2024

Liu, Jingxian (author)Dysarthric speech, characterized by articulation problems and a slower speech rate, shows lower automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance compared to normal speech. To improve performance, researchers often try to enhance dysarthric speech to be more like normal speech before passing it through an ASR trained on normal speech. In this...master thesis 2024
