In recent years, researchers have proposed a variety of approaches to tackle the problem of orbital debris. Debris targets are diverse, and prior knowledge may be limited, with unknown uncooperative debris targets being the most challenging category. A crucial portion of any debris capture scenario is the observation phase during the approach....

This study examines the validity of constant failure rates in the reliability assessment of storm surge barriers, with a focus on the Stormvloedkering Oosterschelde (SVKO). Analysing a dataset of 1,501 malfunctions, including 87 critical incidents over six years, we employ Exponential and Weibull statistical models to assess failure rates. The...

Post-mortem interval estimation (PMI) is a key part of forensic investigation. Accurately obtaining a PMI early in the investigative process improves the reconstruction of events, directs follow-up research and narrows down suspects in case of homicide. Currently, PMI is determined using Henssge’s nomogram requiring ambient temperature, rectal...

In the near future, travelling in vehicles will no longer be in regular vehicles, but in automated vehicles. The share of automated vehicles is predicted to increase significantly within 20 years. Passengers in automated vehicles will engage in non-driving tasks, such as sleeping, reading, working or just otherwise spending time on their phone....

This thesis focuses on closed-loop product grasping from supermarket shelves. The case is studied where the robot is in front of a shelf in an Albert Heijn supermarket and is tasked to pick a desired product from that shelf. Enabling a robot to achieve the product-picking task, however, is challenging. While many other robotic picking methods...

This paper presents a novel approach for the estimation of conditional multivariate cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) within a nonparametric framework. To achieve this, we introduce a binary random variable that indirectly represents conditional CDFs and construct a dataset by pairing input vectors with the binary variables. We developed...

The startup Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) is developing the RFA ONE orbital launch vehicle. A significant hurdle for its closed-loop guidance is the need to fully deplete the third stage for insertion during the first flight, which results in lengthy burn-arcs and complexity not managed properly by traditional guidance algorithms. Additionally,...

Unsteady numerical simulation has been proven to be an essential tool for research. The quality of the results can be improved by using mesh adaptation. Mesh adaptation uses error indicators to refine the mesh in regions with high errors. The error indicators used are output errors with the most accurate output error estimation method being...

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is the predominant form of osteoarthritis, and its incidence is anticipated to rise due to an ageing and increasingly overweight population. Altering the Foot Progression Angle (FPA) has demonstrated potential in mitigating the progression of KOA. Wearable feedback methods, especially those utilising single...

The aviation industry confronts challenges from increased air traffic and environmental concerns. Enhancing engine efficiency becomes crucial due to persistent greenhouse gas emissions from air travel, particularly in long flights with high CO2 emissions. Higher by-pass ratios (BPR) can address this by boosting engine propulsive efficiency, yet...
