Cafe, M. (author)This MSc research project is a feasibility study to explore the possibilities of using ferrofluid bearings in high precision, low load applications. Ferrofluids are fluids containing suspended ferromagnetic particles, which are influenced by magnetic fields due to their ferromagnetic properties. In similarity to for example iron powder, a...master thesis 2014

Nielsen, D.Y. (author)The handling of a payload by a crane at sea poses numerous challenges. One of the main technical challenges is the movement of the vessel due to the hydrodynamic forces exerted by the waves. The resulting heave, pitch, and roll of the vessel results in time-varying crane-tip motion. This motion propagates to the payload through the rope and this...master thesis 2016

Bui, N.C. (author)The investigation into the dynamic behavior of a cable during installation was done with the aim of improving cable installation for safety, operational and commercial value. In order to increase the operational limit of the vessel during cable installation, the investigation into improvement systems was desired. The workability of a vessel...master thesis 2016

Rebers, Marjolein (author), Breysens, G. (author)The goal of this bachelor thesis is to develop a control system that controls the temperature of a microthruster. This system also needs to acquire data for research. The microthruster contains a resistor that is used both as a heater and as a sensor. To facilitate the acquisition of data and the testing of the control system, a lab setup with a...bachelor thesis 2019

Mulder, Justin (author)This thesis develops a method to forecast the cash flows that determine the value of an enterprise. From a control engineers perspective, three stages arise to develop such a method: the research, the system and the control part. The research part presents the results of a control theoretic analysis of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) valuation...master thesis 2019

Stölzle, Maximilian (author), Della Santina, C. (author)Actuators’ dynamics have been so far mostly neglected when devising feedback controllers for continuum soft robots since the problem under the direct actuation hypothesis is already quite hard to solve. Directly considering actuation would have made the challenge too complex. However, these effects are, in practice, far from being negligible....journal article 2021

Calzolari, Davide (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Albu-Schaffer, Alin (author)This letter discusses an extension of the famous PD regulator implementing point to point motions with prescribed exponential rates of convergence. This is achieved by deriving a novel global exponential stability result, dealing with mechanical systems evolving on uni-dimensional invariant manifolds of the configuration space. The...journal article 2021

Della Santina, C. (author), Albu-Schaeffer, Alin (author)Nonlinear modes are a well investigated concept in dynamical systems theory, extending the celebrated modal analysis of linear mechanical systems to nonlinear ones. This letter moves a first step in the direction of combining control theory and nonlinear modal analysis towards the implementation of hyper-efficient oscillatory behaviors in...journal article 2021

(author), Petlenkov, Eduard (author), Ates, Abdullah (author), Cech, Martin (author)The interest in fractional-order (FO) control can be traced back to the late nineteenth century. The growing tendency towards using fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) control has been fueled mainly by the fact that these controllers have additional 'tuning knobs' that allow coherent adjustment of the dynamics of control...journal article 2021

Adiyabazar, Choidorj (author), Gonzalez-Longatt, F. (author), Acosta, Martha N. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Bolor, Erkhemzaya (author)Mongolian power grid (MPG) is becoming more eco-friendly as the power system is continuously integrating renewable energy, which reached 20% of the total installed capacity of Mongolia in 2020. The daily operation and the safety of the MPG have become very challenging because of increased levels of energy in the system. Therefore, the dynamic...conference paper 2021

Aalbers, Sarah (author)The Organ on Chip (OoC) market is fast-growing and has the promise to drastically reduce the cost of developing drugs and the need for animal testing. However, the growth could be obstructed by the difficulties of scaling up production of developed prototypes. Most OoC prototypes are not suited for mass production because of the material used,...master thesis 2021

Schepers, Job (author)Due to an increase demand for renewable and sustainable forms of energy, the offshore wind industry is growing rapidly. To make wind energy more cost-effective, new wind turbines are becoming larger in size and are placed further offshore. This results in deeper waters, making the installation more difficult. The current methodology uses a jack...master thesis 2021

van Lierop, Marjolein (author)Due to the increase in traffic, road congestion has gone up. Vehicle platooning is a possible way to increase the capacity of a given road, by decreasing the distance between the vehicles in the platoon. At the moment, the control of vehicle platoons is commonly done using PDD controllers. The advantage of this is that it requires little...master thesis 2022

Bziker, Farah (author)Traditionally, the control point (CP) of a dynamically positioned vessel is located around its center of gravity (CoG). However, during offshore operations, other locations, such as the crane tip or gripper position, become more critical due to the load being located there. This thesis proposes shifting the control point from the CoG to an...master thesis 2023
