Moens, Tieme (author)Flying drones have been a well-established field of engineering for many years now. With the wave of bio-inspired design came the idea of flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs). These drones use flapping wings instead of fixed or rotary wings to generate their lift, giving them the potential for agile movement and application in confined...master thesis 2023

Meeusen, M. (author), van Dam, J.P.B. (author), Madelat, N. (author), Jalilian, E. (author), Wouters, B. (author), Hauffman, T. (author), Van Assche, G. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Hubin, A. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author)In this work, a new finite element modelling (FEM) approach is followed to model spatiotemporally resolved water uptake in organic coatings. To this aim, we start from a physical model, where not only Fickian diffusion of water is taken into account but also the adsorption/desorption reaction of water on the polymer matrix. Starting from a...journal article 2023

Stelling, Lennart (author)Offshore pipelines are considered the arteries of the offshore oil and gas industry and transport hydrocarbon products as well as other fluids. During the installation process of an offshore pipeline, the pipeline is most often located in a trench and covered with backfill material. The burial of the pipeline ensures onbottom stability as well...master thesis 2022

Klop, Casper (author)Offshore wind energy is expected to play a major role in the upcoming energy transition. For long distances to shore, it is preferable to connect the wind farms to land by means of High-Voltage DC (HVDC) cables to reduce losses and costs. This currently poses challenges, as wind turbine generators produce variable-frequency low-voltage AC power,...master thesis 2022

Abutan, Lisanne (author)Interference of light can be used to determine the concentration of a gas, called gas sensing. The absorption of the light by the gas molecules is measured based on the phase change of the light. In this report, a hollow core photonic crystal fiber is treated. The gas sample is inserted into the hollow core. Photonic crystal fibers possess the...bachelor thesis 2022

Smit, Neil (author)Fin Ray Effect (FRE) grippers have proven versatile and effective in pick & place automation applications. However, spherical and lateral round objects are still a challenge for the state-of-the-art, as solutions are unstable when placing those objects off-centre from the longitudinal line. Resulting in large and heavy FRE gripper assemblies...master thesis 2022

Voorn, Jim (author)With the integration of solar panels in urban areas, where shading is a common issue, it is desired to realize more shade-resilient designs. A DC-DC boost converter is an electronic device that can be used for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). When implementing MPPT at sub-module level, the shade resilience of the module can be increased....master thesis 2022

van der Maas, Maurice (author)Color centers in diamond offer exciting opportunities for implementing an effective solid-state spinphoton interface. Access to and control of spin-photon interaction can help realize a scalable, modular quantum computer using the color center spins. A large magnetic field is needed for splitting the color center spin states, enabling definition...master thesis 2022

Nakate, P.A. (author)Industrial emissions are discussed worldwide for their adverse effects on the global climate change. Nitric oxide (NOx) emissions are harmful among the various flue gases emitted in the atmosphere. There are multiple routes of formation of NOx in industry. The formation of NOx due to local overheating in fuel lean conditions is the most common...doctoral thesis 2022

Grolleman, Thomas (author)In the port of Ostend a discharge sluice is going to be constructed as part of an enforced dike ring. The proposed location of this discharge sluice is close to an already existing marina, the Royal Yachtclub Oostende (RYCO), and hindrance is expected regarding the outflow of the sluice in marina direction. When designing the sluice, an optimal...master thesis 2021
