Claassen, Carlijn (author)The combination of the high number and the consequences of falls in older adults led to the development of fall risk assessments; non-sensor-based and sensor-based. Multiple studies used ML for older adults' fall risk prediction using raw IMU data. This study's objective was to develop a DL algorithm that predicts the fall risk of people living...master thesis 2022

Hutchinson, Kim (author)Falls are a significant cause of injury-associated deaths. In cases where the events leading up to a fall are unclear, a forensic investigation may be required to uncover the cause. During the forensic reconstruction process, tools for objective scenario evaluation are needed. Computer simulations appear to be a promising tool for reconstructing...master thesis 2022

Kaveripuram Ramasamy, S.R. (author), Poelma, C. (author), Breugem, W.P. (author)Path instabilities of a sphere rising or falling in a quiescent Newtonian fluid have been studied experimentally. The rich palette of possible instabilities is dependent upon two dimensionless quantities, namely the Galileo number (Ga) and the particle/fluid mass density ratio (ρ¯). In recent literature, several (Ga,ρ¯) regime maps have been...journal article 2022

Kuiper, Joris (author)Bicycles connected to the internet present an opportunity for integrated accident detection and geolocation. Such a system can reduce the time it takes for help to arrive by automatically alerting predefined contacts with the location of the accident. I developed a systematic method for the practical implementation of bicycle accident detection...master thesis 2021

Toten, Daan (author)A Fall-Pipe system deposits rock on the seabed for the protection of submerged objects. Due to the irregular motion of a vessel on the waves the accuracy and efficiency of the rock dumping process is limited. This thesis develops a motion compensation system for a modular Fall-Pipe system developed by Vuyk Engneering. From literature it appears...master thesis 2021
