IJssel de Schepper, Stijn (author)Unlike conventional actuators, unimorph bending cantilever actuators rely on deformation of bulk material, and therefore require no complex mechanisms or moving components. This allows for simple fabrication, and makes them suitable for miniaturisation. This enables various applications not feasible or practical with conventional actuators,...master thesis 2022

Qiao, Danyu (author)In recent decades, fibre-reinforced polymer composite structures have seen increased aerospace applications. A typical composite structural element widely used in primary load-bearing aircraft components is the T-joint, which is formed when two orthogonal laminates are joined in a T-shaped arrangement to enable out-of-plane load transfer. Under...master thesis 2022

Kos, Willem (author)Airbrushing is an affordable contactless printing technology capable of spraying fine lines to large areas with minimal adjustments. In the literature, deposition of conductive inks on substrates has primarily been researched using inkjet printing or direct ink writing. Despite its advantageous features, airbrushing is seldom used, and when so,...master thesis 2022

Bollen, Thomas (author), van Driesum, Joost (author), Fagalde, Madeleine (author), KAPERONI, AGAPI (author), Su, Yuqian (author)Steel is a widely used and very circular material, it can be recycled endlessly but that consumes a lot of energy, therefore, it is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Only 2% of this pollution is caused by production, the other 98% is caused by transportation during the production and recycling process. Half of the pollution...student report 2022

Busser, Bas (author)In practice manufacturing companies have insufficient coordination and synchronisation between production planning and warehousing teams. The lack of coordination regarding production and warehousing decisions in the ordering strategy may result in unforeseen capacity issues at the warehouse due to misalignment between production plans and...master thesis 2022

Faber, Nick (author)Additive Manufacturing (AM) has made it possible to manufacture parts whose shape complexity was unfeasible with other traditional methods by depositing material layer-wise. However, this planar layer-wise deposition strategy can be restrictive for the part's properties. However, the anisotropic behaviour can also be embraced and used as an...master thesis 2021

Hadžisejdić, Boris (author)This thesis describes the design and development of a conversational assistant (CA) for standardized issue descriptions in manufacturing. The CA was specifically targeted at the acquisition of data on standardized issue descriptions and at the same time reduce operator friction with the system. CAs can be used to handle and process repetitive...master thesis 2021

Berden, Freek (author)Transcended manufacturing is a new emerging manufacturing paradigm in response to the rising need for mass personalisation and ultra-personalised products. Through product personalisation, people can assert their identity in an increasingly impersonal world. But the one-off a kind nature of ultra-personalised make them hard to manufacture with...master thesis 2021

Kaufmann, Felix (author)Increasing flexibility requirements and skill gaps resulting from today’s world of globalisation and digitisation pose constant challenges for manufacturing companies. Augmented Reality (AR) applications offer an efficient way to overcome these tensions by enhancing the interaction between people and technology. However, individual models in the...master thesis 2021

Matser, Abel (author)For more than 130 years there have been efforts to automate human services. One such automation is the use of computer-based solving methods to aid engineers in their search for their ideal goal, such as automated planar mechanism design. Contrary to creating mechanisms manually, automatic methods are able to create and evaluate mechanisms in...master thesis 2021

Oud, Wessel (author)Water scarcity is an increasing problem around the world due to growing population and more frequent weather extremities. Desalination, the process in which salt water is converted into freshwater, is a sensible option to expand the drinking water supply by accessing the vast salt water resources on Earth. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a...master thesis 2021
