Bruggeman, Kevin (author)Friction damping is common in engineering structures for the purpose of energy dissipation and vibration control. Examples of applications are bolted connections and earthquake isolation systems. However, there is a shortage of works that investigate the effects of different contact materials on the energy dissipation performance and friction...master thesis 2023

Bruggeman, Anne-Liza (author)With Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) a fully automated aircraft design analysis is set up and optimization algorithms are used to obtain better designs by balancing the synergy between components. In the EU project AGILE, a new methodology and framework were developed to make the MDAO approach more accessible to...master thesis 2019

Bruggeman, Bart (author)Recent years have seen an increasing interest in micro aerial vehicles (MAV). The same can be said about flapping flight. The Delft University of Technology started to develop a flapping wing MAV in 2005, ”DelFly”, which relies on a flapping biplane wing configura- tion for thrust and lift generation. DelFly has evolved significantly during the...master thesis 2010
