A common method to obtain workspace extension of the slave's workspace is through rate control because it has an unlimited workspace of the slave. However, when contact interaction with the remote environment is needed, position control is often proposed due to the force feedback. To benefit from the strengths of both of these control types,...

Pupillometry is a promising method for assessing mental workload and could be helpful in the optimization of systems that involve human-computer interaction. The present study focuses on replicating the pupil diameter study by Ahern (1978) for mental multiplications of varying difficulty, using an automatic remote eye tracker. Our results showed...

The main objective of this MSc thesis project is to investigate the load alleviation potential of a variable stiffness bi-stable morphing blade section under extreme gust conditions by designing such a blade section. This project builds on the work of Arrieta et al. and Kuder et al. and is based on the DU 93-W-210 airfoil. The bi-stable element...

The continued grow of the wind industry has resulted in an increase in turbine cluster density in wind farms. This has made the topic of wind turbine and wind farm wake aerodynamics more relevant than ever. Wind turbine wake models are used to predict the deficit and recovery of the wind velocities in the wake. The currently used wake models in...

The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether energy storage devices can be used in order to reduce the local, harmful, polluting emissions of an urban ferry. This is investigated by modeling zero emission energy storage devices (ESDs) in the power and propulsion configuration of a benchmark urban ferry. This benchmark ferry provides the...

Air transport provides a suitable way of transport for special types of freight such as emergency freight (spare parts, documents), high-value freight (gold, currency, and artwork) and perishables (pharmaceuticals, fresh food, cut flowers) as these products have very short shelf life and benefit from fast transit times. Air transport is also...

Een tekort aan zoet water zal in de toekomst een groot probleem zijn. Daarom zijn er diverse<br/>technologieën, die het mogelijk maken om zout of brak water naar zoet water om te zetten. Eén van deze technologieën is omgekeerde osmose (Reverse Osmosis (RO)). Aan deze technologie kleven echter nog nadelen. Een van deze nadelen is de kalkaanslag ...

Railway track circuits are electrical systems that are used for train detection. The identification of faults in these track circuits and the estimation of the severity of these faults is crucial for the safety and availability of railway networks. In this thesis a method is proposed to solve these tasks based on the commonly available...

The global economical losses caused by flooding have increased over the last 50 years (IPCC, 2014; UNISDR, 2013). Deltares and HKV are developing new methods to quantify flood risk on a global scale. A Flood Risk Assessment Tool (FIAT) is used to performcalculations. The definition of risk is hazard x exposure x vulnerability. FIAT is able to...

Owing to new regulations starting from 2025, all commercial canal boats have to comply to zero local emission standards in Amsterdam. It is therefore vital that a clear emission indicator is made available for vessels with a varying operational profile, such as canal boats. In this paper, it is argued that current indicators, such as the Energy...

In Amsterdam, over 200 so called inverted siphons are situated. As these siphons are prone for blockages, it is key that these parts of a sewer system are maintained proactively. This article outlines the basis of a methodology that can be used to estimate the fouling degree of sewers with the use of water level measurements. Even though the...
