van Dijk, M.P. (author), Heringa, Louise I. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)Accurate assessment of rolling resistance is important for wheelchair propulsion analyses. However, the commonly used drag and deceleration tests are reported to underestimate rolling resistance up to 6% due to the (neglected) influence of trunk motion. The first aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of using trunk and wheelchair...journal article 2024

van Dijk, Julian (author)The Hierarchical Subspace Iteration Method is a novel method used to compute eigenpairs of the Laplace-Beltrami problem. It reduces the number of iterations required for convergence by restricting the problem to a smaller space and prolonging the solution as a starting point. This method has shown great performance improvements for Laplace...master thesis 2023

van Dijk, Sanne (author)The applicability of the Sellmeijer design rule to Limburg dike sections near Well, Hout-Blerick, Buggenum, and Thorn was investigated in this thesis. This was accomplished by building a finite element numerical model, in COMSOL Multiphysics, to assess the piping in the hydrogeological systems of the research locations. The proposed model is...master thesis 2023

Smulders, M. (author), van Dijk, L.N.M. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author), Huysmans, T. (author)When designing wearables that interface with the human head, face and neck, designers and engineers consider human senses, ergonomics and comfort. A dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold map could be helpful, but does not exist yet. Differences in pressure discomfort threshold for areas of the head, neck and face were recorded, to create a 3D...journal article 2023

(author)Additively manufactured (AM) porous titanium implants may have an increased risk of implant-associated infection (IAI) due to their huge internal surfaces. However, the same surface, when biofunctionalized, can be used to prevent IAI. Here, we used a rat implant infection model to evaluate the biocompatibility and infection prevention...journal article 2023
