Gong, J. (author)Quantum computers have gained widespread interest from both industry and academia in the last decade as they are very promising for solving problems intractable by classical computers. However, there is a limited number of qubits in current quantum processors, which impedes the practical applications of a quantum computer. To increase the number...doctoral thesis 2023

Broman, Casper (author)After overtopping, the most common failure mechanism in the world that leads to a dike breach is the instability of the inner slope. Two stability calculations are required for the semi-probabilistic assessment of inner slope stability. One calculation is without significant overtopping and the other calculation is with significant overtopping...master thesis 2023

Tonucci, Elena (author)Ariel is an ESA space telescope planned for launch in 2029. It is aimed at observing ∼1,000 exoplanets using transit spectroscopy at infrared wavelengths between 0.5-7.8μm, to characterise the chemical composition and thermal structure of their atmospheres. To detect minute flux variations and confidently extract the exoplanet signal, Ariel...master thesis 2023

Heijs, Floor (author)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...master thesis 2023

Liu, Qingxin (author)Most injuries in football occur in the lower extremities due to high muscle stress. To prevent such injuries, the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the Delft University of Technology developed the Smart Sensor Shorts, an inertial sensor-based tracking system measuring the athlete’s lower body kinematics, to improve physical load estimates...master thesis 2023

van der Poel, Hugo (author)During this bachelorproject, more research is done to investigate the properties of the Hanea’s and Nane’s calibration score and to look at slight adjustment of Hanea’s and Nane’s calibration score. Both simulated data and real data will be used to investigate the behaviour of these calibration scores.bachelor thesis 2023

Joshi, Amey (author)The light and frequent earthquakes in the north of the Netherlands, particularly in the province of Groningen, have recently exposed the unreinforced masonry structures to seismic activities. Since these structures do not adhere to seismic regulations, they are considered vulnerable to seismicity. The ultimate state capacity of the structures is...master thesis 2023

Moriaux, Olivier (author)Unsteady surface pressures shed light on the turbulent structures of boundary layer flow, which dictate for a large part the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of aerodynamic bodies submersed in a flow. Remote microphone probes (RMP), e.g., pinhole probes, provide advantages compared to flush-mounted probes because of their reduced sensing...master thesis 2023

van Selm, GertJan (author)Due to the constant growth of global maritime shipping, the optimization of grabs used for unloading bulk carriers is more and more relevant. Especially for a coarse material like limestone, the average payload can be improved, by altering the grab design. It is suggested that the penetration and cutting depth of a grab can be improved, which...master thesis 2023

Rijkeboer, Mats (author)Highly accurate time sources, such as Cesium-based or GPS clocks, are the best candidates to provide a correct notion of time, but are too costly and impractical for implementation in every modern digital device. Ubiquitously, (crystal) oscillators are employed instead. To maintain a shared notion of time, the offsets and drift/jitter have to be...master thesis 2023

(author), Le, Quang Bao (author), Lippe, Melvin (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Sun, Zhanli (author), Berger, Thomas (author)There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a particular modelling context are built. Given such a systematic perspective, validity of agent-based models cannot be ensured if...journal article 2023

Cunillera, A. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), Lentink, Ramon M. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)The dynamics of a moving train are usually described by means of a motion model based on Newton's second law. This model uses as input track geometry data and train characteristics like mass, the parameters that model the running resistance, the maximum tractive effort and power, and the brake rates to be applied. It can reproduce and predict...journal article 2023

Ramamohan, Krishnaprasad Nambur (author), Chepuri, Sundeep Prabhakar (author), Comesana, Daniel Fernandez (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)In this work, we consider the self-calibration problem of joint calibration and direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation using acoustic sensor arrays. Unlike many previous iterative approaches, we propose solvers that can be readily used for both linear and non-linear arrays for jointly estimating the sensor gain, phase errors, and the source...journal article 2023
