Bulk material properties of NaBH₄

Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potential material-based hydrogen storage solution. However, a lack of information regarding its bulk material properties poses a challenge in designing storage and handling equipment. This report addresses this gap by conducting a series of tests to analyse the bulk material properties of NaBH4 powder and...

Fatigue design investigation of the main- to cross-girder connection in steel railway bridges: A study on the beam railway bridges of the Oostertoegang in Amsterdam

Over the past few decades, the Netherlands has built numerous steel railway bridges to improve its infrastructure. The repeated loading from railway traffic makes steel bridges susceptible to fatigue damage. The stress ranges at fatigue-prone locations are generally higher in railway bridges than in road traffic bridges. Due to the limited space...

Design and Integration of Graphene Sensors with Read-Out Electronics: A Graphene-Based Pirani Pressure Sensor Integrated with the BICMOS Process

In this research work, efforts have been made to successfully integrate graphene in a standard CMOS fabrication process without the need for wafer-to-wafer transferring. For this purpose, a graphene-based Pirani sensor is integrated in the BICMOS process. Two batches of graphene-based Pirani sensors are characterized, resulting in world’s first...

A High-Speed 40-channel USB 2.0 DAC for Adaptive Optics

In this project, a USB DAC was designed. This was done according to a proposal from Flexible Optical B.V. which is located in Rijswijk. This device is used to correct for atmospheric interference in optical measurement systems. The existing DAC is ten years old and needs to be updated to requirements of today. The 'next generation' DAC has been...
