Jhinkoe-Rai, Suryand (author)Flood risks and its consequences become more and more challenging and are demanding for the currently present dike systems and hydraulic structures in the Netherlands. This automatically raises the question for the possibility of adjustable temporary deployable flood defences that work autonomously. Nowadays it is more likely that a standard...master thesis 2024

Dutruel, Benjamin (author)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,...master thesis 2023

Groeneveld, Iris (author)Background<br/>An upper limb amputee currently has two choices for a body-powered prosthesis, a Voluntary Opening (VO) or Voluntary Closing (VC) hand prosthesis. Which type is best, depends on the task and the individual. Currently, there are no good options for VO and VC in one design. <br/>Objectives<br/>To design a proof-of-principle of a...master thesis 2023

Huang, Ketong (author)Hierarchy is a network property that identifies the organisation and importance of network elements. Public transport systems consist of stops organised by connections, which can be regarded as networks. In a Public Transport Network (PTN) with a high hierarchy, the number of elements gradually decreases as their importance increases, where the...master thesis 2023

Brinkman, Anne (author)Background: The lack of access to electric powered wheelchairs for disabled people in low- and middle-income countries, that suit their rural environments, still remains an issue. Current available electric powered wheelchairs that do adapt to these rural environments are expensive and require complex control algorithms.<br/>Objective: The aim...master thesis 2023

Kerssemakers, Daan (author)To accelerate the growth of offshore wind power, its Levelised Cost Of Energy (LCOE) must be reduced. A means of reducing the LCOE of offshore wind power is by mitigating the adverse wake effect by employing Wind Farm Control (WFC) for power maximization. A recent WFC technology is the helix approach, which uses Individual Pitch Control (IPC) to...master thesis 2022

Kumar, Arnav (author)The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines have been rising significantly in the EU as the EU wants to become carbon neutral by 2050 and generate 40% of its energy through renewable sources in order to avoid climate change and its consequences. However, both these technologies use several critical raw materials essential for their...master thesis 2022

Brouwer, Joost (author)We are currently facing a transition of economy. Previous years were focused on a linear economy, consisting of the make-waste concept. The products that are made with raw materials are thrown away after its use. Unfortunately the Earth does not contain an unlimited source of materials and we need to focus on reusing materials. Concluding to...master thesis 2022

Kragt, Wouter (author)To be able to cope with the demands of next generation radar applications, a bandwidth of 400MHz is required. The SAR assisted CT ∆Σ ADC provides an energy efficient ADC, but needs improvements to cope with the bandwidth enlargement. This thesis examines the front end components and thus initially focuses on resolving the issues in the front end...master thesis 2022

Luijten, Tim (author)Starting in the 1930’s, many research projects have been performed with the intent to establish rules, which can be used to design granular, geometrically closed filter structures for hydraulic structures. However, for the vast majority of these research projects, the filter structure was loaded by uniform flow, either in the parallel or...master thesis 2022

Kerssemakers, Tom (author)With over 75,000 attributed deaths in 2020, opioid overdose is now the leading cause of death amongst Americans under the age of 50. With record-breaking increases in fatalities for the past 10 years, fentanyl in particular has many experts worried about the future of the opioid epidemic. To reverse opioid overdose there exists a drug called...master thesis 2022

Mi, Yi (author)Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) serve as the foundation of substation automation system. Many testing cases have discussed the performance of implementing IEC 61850 in IEDs manufactured by different vendors. However, the procedures of configuring an IED and mapping it with the power network model are not summarized. This project aims to...master thesis 2021

Verzijl, Hubald (author)<i>Neuropathic pain</i> (NP) affects approximately seven to ten percent of the general population. Seventeen percent of NP patients scored their life as “worse than death”. A myriad of causes may underlie NP, such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Also, damage or disease of the <i>peripheral nervous system</i> (PNS) may result in NP. One of the...master thesis 2021

James, Mikhail (author)Structural elements under compression can fail due to instability. Such type of failure may present itself as flexural buckling, which is the sudden change of configuration of one state to another at a critical compressive load. Actual structure characteristics, such as cracks, real joints, sudden changes of flexural stiffness, bracing, and...master thesis 2021

Kofos, Angelos (author)Humanity faces the challenge of dealing with resource exhaustion and environmental destruction. The root of these issues lies in the linear economic model established after the industrial revolution. This model relies on two fundamental principles, limitlessness and easily accessible resources and unlimited earth regenerative capacity. The...master thesis 2021

Zoumis, Angelos (author)Cluster editing attempts to find the minimum number of edge additions and removals on an undirected graph, that will transform the graph to one consisting of only disconnected cliques. In this paper, we propose three heuristic approaches to this problem, based on algorithms used to solve different clustering problems. The algorithms were based...bachelor thesis 2021

Sonneveld, Dave (author)Compliant joints have significant advantages compared to rigid-body hinges due to a monolithic design and the absence of friction, which prevents effects like wear, backlash and stick-slip behaviour. However, the loading capability is often limited and the support stiffness generally decreases during rotation, caused by the use of solid leaf...master thesis 2021
