This report describes and analyses small scale plough process. This research is initiated by Deltares and the Delft University of Technology as an experimental way to gain insight in the ploughing of the river bed in rivers. The main target of this thesis is to gather information on the plough process as applied in the maintenance of the Waal...

Background: Ductoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, using a sub millimeter fiber optical camera, to explore the mammary ductal epithelium for Pathological Nipple Discharge (serous fluid discharged from the milk duct) and breast cancer, detecting lesions up to eight years before other modalities. Although ductoscopy can revolutionize breast...

The field of upper limb prosthetics focuses on the development of artificial replacement devices for upper limb loss, from partial finger loss to amputation of the entire arm at the shoulder. Hand and hook prostheses are designed to replace the functionality of a missing hand and can be powered either by external sources (e.g. electricity) or by...

Nanotopography has the ability to induce osteogenic differentiation of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) without the addition of chemical supplements. Understanding of the early mechanisms that interact at the membrane-topography interface and subsequently induce the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs as a result of nanotopography is key to...

A recent trend in robotics is aimed at the cooperation between human and robot. This has led to an increased development of collaborative robot manipulators. Typical characteristics of collaborative robots are their user-friendly and lightweight design, innovative compliant mechanics, the implementation of various safety features and advanced...

Reducing the hydrodynamic drag of marine vessels is a key approach to decrease energy consumption. In addition to saving fuel costs, this also decreases greenhouse gas emissions. One possible method to reduce turbulent drag for a ship is coating its hull with riblets. Riblets are micro-fabricated structures whose design is based on shark skin....

Reaction Wheels (RWs), the primary attitude actuators on most spacecraft, are one of the largest on-board disturbance sources due to nondeterministic bearing behaviour at low angular velocities of the RWs. The configuration design of redundant Reaction Wheels Arrays (RWAs) can be divided into configuration optimization and control allocation....

In order to interact with environments and appliances made for humans, robots should be able to manipulate a large variety of objects and appliances in human environments. When having experience with manipulating a certain object or appliance, a robot should be able to generalize this behaviour to novel, but similar objects and appliances. When...

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology which can operate as a base load source of energy in equatorial areas. By converting the thermal energy of the sun stored in the oceans into electricity, this technology provides a sustainable solution for tropical islands. One of the key factor to accelerate the roadmap...

A previous work at Royal IHC, following the observation from sea trials of trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD) that the turning performance of bow tunnel thrusters significantly reduced at slow forward speeds, studied the flow behaviour and performance of bow tunnel thrusters at slow forward speeds using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)....

Wind turbines are often sited together in wind farms as it is economically advantageous. However, the wake inevitably created by every turbine will lead to an aerodynamic interaction between the individual turbines. Common practice in industry has been to control turbines individually and ignore this interaction while optimizing the power and...

This project deals with the crystallographic, performance and optimization study of mixed-cation perovskite inks for large scale solar cell production. After coating these inks on a scale-up compatible planar selective electron transport layer, the crystallographic, optical, and electrical properties of these inks were studied and compared to...

This study aims to improve the predictive capabilities of flow pattern and depositional behaviour of non-Newtonian, high concentration sand and fines mixtures. The depositional behaviour influences the geometry of the deposit and the distribution of sand and fines particles, which in turn influence the strength and consolidation performance of...

The iron and steel industry is the one of the largest source of CO2 emissions due to its dependence on carbon based fuels and reductants such as coke and coal. In order to analyze the CO2 sources and magnitude of emissions from the steel mills, the entire process from the processing of raw materials to production of hot metal iron is modeled in...

A conventional annealing line uses a gas fired or electrical heating to heat and gas jets to cool the steel strip. The energy supplied during heating is lost in the cooling section. This energy has a lot of potential which can be recovered and used for the heating of the cold steel strip. Tata Steel, TU Delft and Drever International are...
