Krijnen, Rogier (author)This thesis investigates the ability of Bayesian EUCLID to retrieve a predictive approximate material model for the myocardium in the presence of heterogeneous deformation fields due to simulated biaxial stretch tests. The Holzapfel-Ogden material model is used as the ground-truth material model of the simulation, since it is capable of...master thesis 2023

Hernández, J.I. (author)Since its origins in the 1970s, choice modelling has become an important field of study in diverse areas, including transportation, health economics, environmental economics and marketing. Choice modellers have developed several methods to collect and model individual choices. Researchers and policymakers use such methods to understand...doctoral thesis 2023

Velds, Douwe (author)In the light of global need for renewable energy, wind energy plays a crucial role. Today, the majority of wind turbines are still being built on land. Given this critical role, accurate monitoring methods are needed to fully understand the performance within wind farms. This thesis aims to create a methodology to evaluate the power performance...master thesis 2023

van Laarhoven, Menno (author)<br/>We expand on the framework by Korda and Mezic (2020) to construct eigenfunctions directly from data by exploiting the eigenfunction PDE, guaranteeing closure and eliminating the need for a prior data dictionary. <br/>The constructed models are extended to forced systems through the multi-step prediction error of a linear state-space model....master thesis 2023

Vinatselas, Theodoros (author)This thesis discusses the characterization of the undrained shear strength, S_u from the net cone resistance, q_net of clay in Dutch sites using Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling (HBM). The performance of the HBM is compared with the current practice methods of the site characterization which propose either the use of only site–specific...master thesis 2023

Bettini, Andrea (author)This thesis presents an energy-conservative data-driven approach in modelling the closure terms of the Navier-Stokes equations casted through the Variational Multiscale (VMS) framework. For context, the VMS framework is applied in designing stabilised finite element methods for multiscale phenomena in which stability is not guaranteed. Under...master thesis 2023

Rahmani, kamran (author)Navigating consequential decisions is a difficult task in and of itself, especially when they have a significant impact on one's life. This is especially true in the complex world of healthcare, where the importance of choices is magnified. The complexities of these issues can make it difficult for patients and their loved ones to effectively...master thesis 2023

van Ede, Matthijs (author)Classical RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) turbulence models have limited accuracy in the prediction of the flow over the wing-body geometry. Therefore, this work focuses on improving the prediction accuracy of the classical k-ω SST turbulence model for the junction flow by means of the data-driven method SpaRTA. In the SpaRTA methodology...master thesis 2023

de Reij, Segher (author)This research presents the design and implementation of a fault diagnosis filter for a high-fidelity simulation model of the AB383 wire bonder. Fault diagnosis, which consists of detecting, isolating, and estimating faults, enables more effective maintenance strategies and potentially mitigates costly downtime in high-precision motion and...master thesis 2023

Hoefnagel, Kaj (author)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important tool in design involving fluid flow. Scale-resolving CFD methods exist, but they are too computationally expensive for practical design. Instead, the relatively cheap Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach is the industry standard, specifically models based on the Boussinesq hypothesis,...master thesis 2023

Jonkman, Christian (author)Incorporating big data into decision-making provides a substantial competitive advantage, leading organisations to increasingly adopt a data-driven strategy. However, the adoption by organisations often remains unsuccessful due to limitations associated with monolithic data architectures, such as data lakes and data warehouses. Data mesh is...master thesis 2023

Buşe, Florena (author)Thus far the democratization of machine learning, which resulted in the field of AutoML, has focused on the automation of model selection and hyperparameter optimization. Nevertheless, the need for high-quality databases to increase performance has sparked interest in correlation-based feature selection, a simple and fast, yet effective approach...bachelor thesis 2023

Harmankaya, Hüseyin (author)Commercially available Lane Keeping Assist systems fail to consider the driver's intentions since they mainly focus on minimising path tracking errors, resulting in conflicts between humans and automation. This often leads to users being unsatisfactory and turning off the assist, as a result diminishing the advantages such as reduced workload...master thesis 2023

Bărbulescu, Liliana (author)Robot manipulators are significantly more accurate than their human counterparts and enhance the repeatability of various tasks. However, manufactures still provide reduced information regarding the robot controller functions, typically affecting robots' predictability. Additionally, industrial examples show that system transparency could be...master thesis 2023
