Kuntz, Mark (author)This thesis presents the state-of-the art gripping literature and the implementation and extension of an existing Pseudo-Rigid Body Modelling (PRBM) method for modelling initially-curved compliant grippers out of which a circular object is extracted. From the existing literature, challenges are found in the design and evaluation of concepts of...master thesis 2024

Petz, Charlene (author)As 5G is rapidly growing, wireless communication systems require wideband, compact and highly efficient power amplifier modules (PA) to drive the base station antenna arrays. Doherty PAs are implemented in most base stations. The final stage in these power amplifier modules has high supply voltages (28-50 V) to generate a...master thesis 2023

Narayanappa, Karthik (author)Joining structural components in aircraft is generally performed through mechanical fastening. The interaction of bearing and bypass stresses in composite bolted joints causes a reduction in the static strength of the joint. The bearing-bypass diagram determines the bearing and net-section failure modes. This thesis work aims to provide a design...master thesis 2021

van Vliet, Jan (author)The Dutch population is ageing. The impact of the housing situation of the elderly on society is therefore increasing. The current housing situation of the elderly may be inappropriate regarding the use of space and the wellbeing of the residents. Especially the housing situation of owner-occupiers aged between 55 and 75 is not suitable....master thesis 2021

Goudriaan, Maiko (author)In the software engineering field the code review process has been widely adopted as a quality control, in the current day code reviews have also multiple additional advantages. In this research we explored how the code review process is used at Greenchoice, a Dutch energy supplier. Subsequently, we created a code review checklist which was used...master thesis 2021

Haitsma Mulier, Babette (author)Drainage of fluid from wet adhesive-substrate interfaces is often mentioned to be an important mechanism in obtaining strong grip. It has been hypothesized that micropatterned adhesives – that contain features (e.g., pillars) separated by channels on their surface – have a better drainage capability compared to unpatterned adhesives....master thesis 2020

Sotiriadis, Daan (author)The installation of subsea cables connecting offshore wind turbines to the grid is a delicate process. This is especially the case for the operation of connecting the second end of the cable to the turbine. The applied method of using a quadrant means that in the workability analyses, multibody dynamics, line dynamics and sea state dynamics need...master thesis 2020

van Dijk, Milan (author)Induction welding is an effective technique for joining unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites and L-joints can be produced through quick and cost-effective processing steps. However, due to high localized stresses in the skin-stiffener interface, these L-joints are often avoided in primary aircraft structures. Also, no...master thesis 2019

Christian Gerald Daniel, Gerald (author)The use of synthetic fibres has been reported to enhance the performance of asphalt pavement materials in terms of permanent deformation, fatigue and thermal cracking. However, limited results about the benefits of synthetic fibres in the reinforced warm-mix asphaltic materials, and the exact mechanism of reinforcing the binding part in pavement...master thesis 2018

Tzanidakis, George (author)In the Netherlands the design of a movable bridge and machinery part is based on the design standard NEN 6786:2001 (2001). When the bridge is in motion the calculations for the machinery part focus on the dynamic loads (torque) generating at the motor shaft. The calculation of these loads is carried out using tabulated formulas of the standard,...master thesis 2018

Nijessen, Rik (author)Repository mining researchers have successfully applied machine learning in a variety of<br/>scenarios. However, the use of deep learning in repository mining tasks is still in its infancy.<br/>In this thesis, we describe the advantages and disadvantages of using deep learning in mining software repository research and demonstrate these by...master thesis 2017

van Dooren, Maikel (author)In this study the cracking and debonding behaviour of cementitious screeds bonded to concrete bearing floors is <br/>analysed. In order to obtain insight in this behaviour research is performed to the surface tensile strength of concrete, <br/>the bond strength of screeds on concrete bearing floors, the behaviour of screeds during shrinkage and...master thesis 2017

Vos, Amber (author)In this MSc thesis it is investigated how the first version of concrete armour unit Xbloc<sup>+</sup>, Xbloc<sup>+ v1</sup>, acquires its stability. The stability mechanisms are investigated by conducting two type of physical model tests. First, 23 dry pull-out tests are done to obtain insights into the aspects and mechanisms that influence the...master thesis 2017

Dicker, Jeroen (author)Beach nourishments or sand replenishments are applied by the use of pipelines or the rainbow method. Replenished sand is then moved and levelled by bulldozers. This is a passive approach to process the outflow of material. The land based equipment is dependent from tides and water levels, and significant effort is required to install and...master thesis 2017

Kester, E.C.M. (author)A landfall operation is conducted whenever a pipeline reaches the shore, during this operation the pipeline is pulled onto shore with the help of a steel wire rope. Allseas engineering has experienced several cases of landfalls during which the friction forces along the steel wire rope rose to excessively high levels. These cases occurred at...master thesis 2016

Schuppener, K.M. (author)Amsterdam Aiport Schiphol (AAS) has the ambition of becoming Europe's cargo preferred airport. However, in addition to facing spare capacity for future growth, past research has shown key issues preventing it from reaching this goal. Some of these are truck waiting times, long throughput times and 1st line warehouse efficiency. One of the...master thesis 2016

Dzugala, M. (author)The accurate estimation of the mechanical properties of a rock joints is crucial in terms of safety when it comes to design of slopes in open pit mines or caverns used for the storage of hazardous materials, for instance – nuclear waste. Photogrammetry provides a simple and objective method of joints roughness assessment, without the need for...master thesis 2016

Hartog, R.M. (author)Teams using modern day software engineering practices often incorporate code reviews as a quality assurance step in their development. These code reviews are intended to uncover software quality defects before code changes are incorporated into the project. Certain classes of these software quality defects can be detected by so-called static...master thesis 2015

Van der Veen, E.S. (author)Previous work showed that in the pull-based development model integrators face challenges with regard to prioritizing work in the face of multiple concurrent pull requests. We identified the manual prioritization heuristics applied by integrators and extracted features from these heuristics. The features are used to train a machine learning...master thesis 2015
