Biernacki, Jakub (author)In the face of the prevailing norms and practices in contemporary architecture, there is a growing need to find alternative ways of making architecture that prioritize human experiences, social interactions, and a deeper connection with the built environment. The examination of empowered play as a revolutionary approach to design is the focus of...master thesis 2023

Coppen, Jasper (author)Due to global warming, there is a rising demand for green energy storage and green fuels. $CO_2$ reduction can help mitigate these demands by storing energy in chemical bonds, thereby creating fuels that are relatively easy to use and store. In this way, a new carbon cycle can be created. Catalyst materials play a key role in improving the...master thesis 2023

Guarnotta, Flora (author)Liver diseases account for two million deaths worldwide each year, and current treatments are limited. 3D bioprinting is a promising technology, that has recently been investigated to tackle this challenge. However, the cells and hydrogels used for bioprinting are not human-derived and do not replicate the natural <i>in vivo</i> environment. The...master thesis 2023

Liu, Shangru (author)In this 3D fracture-based topology optimization framework, the author extended the 2D framework on tailoring fracture resistance for brittle materials (Zhang et al., 2022) to 3D. In the optimization, the topology is described by radial basis functions interpolated level set function, and the problem is solved by the Interface-enriched...master thesis 2022

Vledder, Amária (author)Delayed healing or non-union of bone fractures are still clinically and economically relevant problems. Bone healing includes pro- and anti-inflammatory phases, which proved crucial for successful healing. Being able to modulate these inflammatory responses could potentially promote bone fracture healing. Dendritic cells play important roles in...master thesis 2022

Roor, Twanne (author)Coasts are constantly under the pressure of hydrodynamic conditions such as waves, tides, and storms. In the Netherlands, sand nourishments are executed every few years in order to maintain the country’s sandy beaches for purposes of safety, recreation, and ecology. In order to determine where to carry out these nourishments, the whole sandy...master thesis 2022

Veldhuis, Erik (author)This research proposes a new differentiator for estimating higher order derivatives of an input signal. The main reason why higher order derivatives are necessary is that Active Inference makes use of generalized coordinates. This means that it keeps internally track of higher order temporal derivatives of states, inputs and measurements. The...master thesis 2021

Sridar Sandeep, Sridar Sandeep (author)The last decade has seen an increase in the world wide energy demand, it was recorded as the highest spike encountered in the energy demand over a decade. On analyzing the main sources which were able to satisfy this overwhelming demand it was found that the majority was still from non-renewable sources or fossil fuels such as coal, oil and...master thesis 2021

Yustisi Ardhitasari Lumban Gaol, Yustisi (author)Bathymetric depth for shallow water regions is essential for coastal management and research. The measurements using echo sounding and LiDAR leave data gaps because vessels cannot reach nearshore waters or the green laser unable to penetrate specific areas. Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is an alternative to extract shallow water depths that...master thesis 2021

Pilania, Yogesh Kumar (author)Extensive computational resources are required to solve large-scale nonlinear problems having a finite element mesh with a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). Model order reduction (MOR) is a technique used to reduce these DOFs, facilitating a faster solution with reasonable accuracy. This work proposes a method for constructing a finite...master thesis 2021

Johnson, Nelson (author)This report concerns an experimental investigation of the winglet integration, rudder deflection and aileron-rudder interaction effects on the Flying V aircraft configuration using a 4.6% scale model. The effects on the lift, drag, side-force, rolling moment, pitching moment and yawing moment coefficients are all described. The first results...master thesis 2021

Burgers, Floortje (author)Knowledge of seafloor topography (bathymetry) is increasingly important as coastal environments are unprecedentedly stressed by climate change and anthropogenic pressure. The bathymetry of shallow nearshore waters is yet marginally monitored due to costly and time-intensive survey techniques. Methods to obtain satellite derived bathymetry (SDB)...master thesis 2020

Leemeijer, Kees (author)The building sector is responsible for 40% of worldwide carbon emissions, of which 8% can be attributed to concrete construction. With an increased demand for housing, this percentage is bound to increase. This thesis sheds light on strategies for reducing the environmental impact of concrete construction by investigating the potential of...master thesis 2020

Draijer, M.J. (author)Wrong-way risk (WWR), which is the dependence between the probability of default (PD) and the exposure at default of a counterparty, is an aspect of credit risk that can lead to high losses. This thesis aims firstly to quantify WWR in interest rate swaps (IRSs) using a copula model, where a copula is used to couple the PD implied by credit...master thesis 2020

Haex, Thomas (author)The demand of small payload launch vehicles has been growing over the past years. Customers base their selection of launch vehicles on cost-effectiveness, flexibility, availability and reliability. A new launch vehicle, the Dawn Aerospace Mk-III, is proposed to be developed, while designed to take into account all these criteria.<br/><br/>For...master thesis 2020

Zandbergen, Sean (author)Research on the physical, ecological and environmental processes in the coastal zone often rely on the availability of accurate bathymetric information. The traditional method to acquire these data is by conducting depth soundings from a vessel, which is a very accurate way for measuring bottom elevations in all kinds of water, but has as a...master thesis 2020

van den Broek, Jaïr (author)The application of Modal Derivatives (MDs) in conventional reduction methods is an effective method to capture geometric nonlinearities in Finite Element Models (FEMs). Reduction methods, in general, are used to effectively reduce the number of unknowns in FEMs for the sake of computational efficiency. We investigated the applicability of three...master thesis 2019

Groot, Roy (author)In early design stages of aircraft, component sizing is to a large extent based on semi empirical methods, which are generally lacking for unconventional aircraft configurations. This increases the uncertainty of the performances of the generated design, such as its stability and controllability. This work aims at using a more physics-based...master thesis 2019
