Versteeg, Rogier (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This article discusses a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network that uses raw time-domain data obtained in compensatory tracking tasks as input features for classifying (the adaptation of) human manual control with single- and double-integrator controlled element dynamics. Data from two different experiments were used to train...journal article 2024

Tromp, Jos (author)The range of motion of elastic energy sources is limited by the size of its transmission system. To enhance this range of motion without compromising the size, previous research introduced a frequency doubling mechanism with the intention to concatenate these mechanisms. This study serves to achieve higher numbers of frequency multiplication by...master thesis 2023

Schipper, Jurrien (author)Modelling of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is challenging due to the strong coupling between the aerodynamics of the turbine and the hydrodynamics of the floating structure, which makes the dynamic response of the whole system highly complex. A variety of numerical approaches can be used to predict this response.<br/><br/>The frequency...master thesis 2023

Lomans, Gabriël (author)Extremely large telescopes (ELTs) are expected to be one of the most promising astronomical observation instruments when it comes to observing exoplanets. During observations, however, Earth’s atmosphere introduces optical distortion, which needs to be corrected. For this reason, a wavefront sensor (WFS) will be developed that comprises a 100 ⇥...bachelor thesis 2023

Douma, Laurens Jan (author)The replacement of conventional generation units with variable renewable energy sources could have a negative impact on the balance of supply and demand of electricity. Moreover, since the variable renewable energy sources are inverter based and therefore decoupled from the grid, the overall grid inertia will decrease. To solve this problem, the...master thesis 2023

van der Bend, Marius (author)During single-blade offshore wind turbine (OWT) installation, wind disturbance results in blade root motion. The sensitivity to this wind disturbance is more significant for larger blades, reducing the allowable installation weather limit. A potential solution is a Hook Mounted Compensator (HMC) between the crane and the load that can provide...master thesis 2023
