Lambers, Jorrinde (author)Current upper-limb prostheses are often rejected as a result of high activation forces that are needed for control. Another reason for rejection is the absence of appropriate proprioceptive feedback. In this study, a pneumatic control system was designed that decreased the activation forces and where proprioceptive feedback was provided. The...master thesis 2019

Bekker, Johan (author)The modeling method for the performance of positive displacement pumps of hydraulic pumps is based on collecting operational data of the pump for its operational envelope and using equations with empirical fitting parameters and fit these equations to the data. This way values for the fitting parameters are obtained, with which the equations can...master thesis 2019

Singhal, Pranshu (author)Injection and production of fluids into/from the subsurface has been known to trigger earthquakes, referred to as induced seismicity. This seismicity may occur when anthropogenically caused changes in the in-situ stress conditions result in reactivation of pre-existing faults in the subsurface causing slip accompanied by sudden release of energy...master thesis 2019

Ghaffarinejad, Amin (author)My graduation project deals with the topic of “architectural displacement” that proposes to read the built environment as the existence of multiple entities in each one of the entities. In the process of researching and designing, it has been investigated to see how such an understanding could reveal new potentials in architecture and how such...master thesis 2019

van Overstraten Kruijsse, Femke (author)During construction in urban areas often noise and vibrations are not tolerated. For the installation of the foundation piles in these cases there is often chosen for screwed displacement piles. These piles can be installed without nuisance for the vicinity, but do induce large soil displacements during installation. The soil displacements can...master thesis 2019

Drost, Lisanne (author)This study presents the results of small scale flume experiments on a submerged rectangular cylinder subjected to a current, regular wave and combined wave-current environment. The objective of the study is to gain more knowledge about the hydrodynamics around and the kinematics of a submerged structure, to give a contribute to the research...master thesis 2019

le Coz, C.M.L. (author), Heemink, A.W. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Rainfall estimates based on satellite data are subject to errors in the position of the rainfall events in addition to errors in their intensity. This is especially true for localized rainfall events such as the convective rainstorms that occur during the monsoon season in sub-Saharan Africa. Many satellite-based estimates use gauge...journal article 2019

Stopka, J. (author), Kruit, P. (author)Statistical Coulomb interactions in conventional scanning electron microscopy mostly affect the probe size via energy spread and virtual source broadening in the emitter vicinity. However, in a multi-beam probe forming system such as a multi-beam scanning electron microscopes (MBSEM), the trajectory displacement due to interactions in the...journal article 2019

Abad, Belkis Filian (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author)The Critical Shear Displacement Theory (CSDT) was developed to determine the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams based on the different shear-carrying mechanisms (concrete in the compression zone, aggregate interlock, and dowel action). This research aims at extending the CSDT to Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) by adding the...conference paper 2019

Mehrabi, Hamid (author), Voosoghi, Behzad (author), Motagh, Mahdi (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) measures the projection of three-dimensional (3D) ground displacement in the range direction and in the azimuth direction through image processing. The incapability of InSAR in measuring the 3D displacements restricts its capability for assessing real Earth surface deformation. The near-polar...journal article 2019

Jansen, J.D. (author), Singhal, P. (author), Vossepoel, F.C. (author)We consider fluid-induced seismicity and present closed-form expressions for the elastic displacements, strains, and stresses resulting from injection into or production from a reservoir with displaced faults. We apply classic inclusion theory to two-dimensional finite-width and infinite-width reservoir models. First, we simplify the fault model...journal article 2019

Morandi, P. (author), Albanesi, L. (author), Graziotti, F. (author), li Piani, T. (author), Penna, A. (author), Magenes, G. (author)In this paper, a dataset collecting the results of in-plane cyclic tests on unreinforced masonry piers, carried out within different research projects, is presented. The dataset includes brick and block walls with different materials, bed-and head-joint typologies, dimensions, boundary conditions and vertical applied loads. The development of...journal article 2018

Bertoncini, Chiara (author)Three interest rate models are researched: Displaced Exponential-Vasicek, Hull-White one factor and Hull-White two factors with time-dependent volatility parameters. The motivation for this is two-fold: firstly, we would like to understand how the capital calculations would be impacted when yield curves are modelled under the three different...master thesis 2018

Zarate Garnica, Gabriela (author)Shear failure is one of the most critical failure modes of reinforced concrete members, especially for those without shear reinforcement. Despite the extensive research programs in the last decades, there is still no general agreement on a rational theory to assess their shear capacity. In the recent years, researchers have focused on developing...master thesis 2018

Li, X. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author)Despite the massive forced relocation of residents during urban restructuring in China, there is no systematic overview regarding how residents experience the process and its outcomes. Most studies concerning urban restructuring in China directly equate forced relocation with displacement, which has a negative connotation. This predominantly...journal article 2018

Foursoff, Willemijn (author)The API RP 2GEO (2011) p-y method is an industry standard approach to predict the lateral pile behaviour of slender oil platform piles with length (L) over diameter (D) ratios > 10. However, offshore wind turbines are founded on large diameter monopiles with an L/D ratio < 8, which are rather rigid piles. There are concerns about the...master thesis 2018

Gandina, Putri Suciaty (author)The demand for offshore wind farm installation is increasing in recent years as the concern in using sustainable energy source is rising. One of the primary steps in constructing offshore wind farm is the pile installation which is a high-risk activity due to the expensive offshore installation vessels requirement. Any factor which can result in...master thesis 2018

Liu, Yuan (author), Heiligers, M.J. (author), Ceriotti, Matteo (author)To overcome the congestion of geostationary orbit slots, previous work proposed to use vertically-displaced, non-Keplerian geostationary orbits by means of continuous low-thrust propulsion in the form of hybrid solar sail and solar electric propulsion (hybrid sail). This work extends and generalizes that concept by loosening the position...journal article 2018
