Dinklo, Constantijn (author)Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used in a diverse set of fields such as aerodynamics, automotive, biomedical engineering and wind impact. With the advancements in technology the scale of these simulations has increased significantly. This has resulted in \textit{massive} CFD simulations --- simulations that do not fully fit...master thesis 2024

Khan, Afaq (author)The mechanical failure of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement system can stem from various factors, with one notable cause being the unnatural kinematics and loading observed in prosthetic joint function. Given that,. the primary objective of the study was to investigate whether including functionally graded materials (FGMs) at the site...master thesis 2023

Reinoso Hayashi, Yuka (author)Eighty percent of women after mastectomy wear an external breast prosthesis either permanently or during the period before breast reconstruction. External breast prostheses replace the removed breast and aim to recreate the original body shape. However, while each woman has a different chest wall and scar topology, most commonly used are...master thesis 2023

Kuijpers, Mika (author)Voxels are cells on a 3D regular grid. Voxel-based scenes have many applications, including frequent use in simulations or games. Over the years, the field of high-resolution voxel scenes has progressed significantly, allowing for compressing and real-time editing of high-resolution scenes. This possibility of editing high-resolution scenes led...master thesis 2023

Schumann, Tim (author)One million homes will be needed in the Netherlands by 2030. Prefabrication in the construction industry can contribute to construct affordable houses, but that results often in standardized and not customized designs. These repetitive designs can be overcome through the introduction of mass-customization in architecture. Computational...master thesis 2023

Biront, Andreas (author)We explain the design and analysis of a novel voxel design with the goal of reducing assembly time and complexity of the robot-material system. Recent advances in robot-material systems, on the other hand, have focused on mechanical properties, design, and production methods. Making it possible to create cellular structures in harsh and remote...master thesis 2022

Park, kyu (author)The demand for lower construction costs comes at the price of duplicating architectural designs. As a result, the misperception that modular architecture is repetitive prevails. However, the developments in computational design and MMC (modern methods of construction) can suggest a standardized manufacturing approach to provide mass...master thesis 2022

de Jong, Michiel (author)In the modern world, evacuating a building in a safe and orderly manner remains a challenge. Fire-based emergencies in a building are dynamic environments that can be simulated to better understand, analyse, and contribute to safer and smarter buildings. While different spatial representations exist, <i>voxels</i> provide a structured, flexible...master thesis 2022

Veeger, Robin (author)Functional gradients in hard-soft interfaces are abundant in nature, and we often mimic them to create strong and tough composites. A powerful tool for the designs and fabrication of biomimetic composites is voxel-based multi-material 3D printing. Earlier researches mainly focused on using this technique in the creation of gradients based on...master thesis 2021

Alexandridis, Vasileios (author)Bathymetric Airborne LiDAR technology is used to map the depth of water bodies. It uses a green light sensor which is able to penetrate the water surface and reach the bottom part of the interesting water areas. However, water conditions affect the capability of the green laser penetration. Factors such as the water clarity, the water turbidity ...master thesis 2020

van der Laan, Remi (author)Representing geometry data as voxels allows for a massive amount of detail that can be rendered in real-time. Storing this type of data as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) has recently led to immense improvements in memory consumption, which is one of the main limitations often associated with voxel-based approaches. We present a method for...master thesis 2019

Gunashekar, Deepthishre (author)Polymer composites are found to have high performance efficiency because of its highly flexible polymer matrix and stiff fibres or functional fillers. The matrix and the reinforcements are two main components for a strong and tough composite. The performance of these composites highly depend on the material property of the matrix and the...master thesis 2019

Flikweert, Puck (author)Because of urbanisation, more than 50% of the global population now lives in cities, a number that is ever-increasing. This leads to a need for more dense and complex building constructions, driven by the fact that people are living increasingly close to one another. These structures are often so large that it becomes difficult to navigate in...master thesis 2019

Wang, Johnny (author)The gap between predicted brain age and chronological age could serve as biomarker for early-stage neurodegeneration and as potentially as a risk indicator for dementia. We assess the utility of this age gap as a risk biomarker for incident dementia in a general elderly population. The brain age is estimated from longitudinal brain magnetic...master thesis 2019

Griffioen, Simon (author)To obtain 3D information of the Earth’s surface, airborne LiDAR technology<br/>is used to quickly capture high-precision measurements of the terrain.<br/>Unfortunately, laser scanning techniques are prone to producing outliers<br/>and noise (i.e. wrong measurements). Therefore, a pre-process of the point<br/>cloud is required to detect and...master thesis 2018

Edens, Maike (author)The fracture properties of natural materials often outperform artificial material properties. This could be explained by their complex multi-scale (anisotropic) hard-soft material structure, starting at a nano-scale. The interest in the fabrication of complex biomimetic hard-soft materials and interfaces is growing due to their high fracture...master thesis 2018
