Mirtsopoulos, I. (author)Ever since the idea of truss structures was conceived and later were expanded into three dimensional structures forming space frames, jointing has been a challenge. The evolution of jointing systems includes three main methods: connection with a node, connection with a prefabricated unit and connection without a node (e.g. welding). Delving more...master thesis 2015

Moltmaker, M. (author)During the running activity impact with the ground causes the muscles of the runner to vibrate. Especially vibrations in the lower frequencies of around 10 Hz can be uncomfortable. Footwear can help to decrease muscle vibrations. Softer and more viscous shoes allow the muscles to come to rest at a later moment in time. However, the softness of...master thesis 2015
