Ontwikkeling van een Battery Management System voor de Nuna Solar Car

For the safe use of lithium-based batteries, a management system is neccessary. This management system keeps an eye on the battery to prevent it from overloading (explosion hazard) and underloading (battery failure). Furthermore, it strongly reduces degradation of the battery.

Monitoring-aware IDEs

It has become a common practice for software developers to analyse monitoring data as a means to understand issues, trends and performance of large-scale software systems. The combination of this practice with the software development workflow can however be cumbersome at times. One recent effort into evaluating the effects of integrating...

Particle size measurements, modelling and control strategies of jet mill plants

Jet milling is a size reduction method that is used to produce fine powder with a narrow size distribution, such as toners, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. The main disadvantage is the large energy consumption of the jet mill compared to other grinding processes. The aim of the Jet Mill Project is to reduce the energy consumption. This will be...

The development of a computational workflow for the semi-automated construction of patient-specific finite element models of tibial fracture fixation

Introduction: Tibial fracture healing complications occur frequently with reported non-union rates up to 23%. Preoperative patient-specific finite element (FE) modelling of fracture fixation may help to minimize these complications. However, developing such models requires labour-intensive work including (manual) segmentation of bones from...
