Smit, Thijs (author)Origami has become a source of inspiration in engineering for structural design and the creation of mechanical metamaterials. In the often used analytic geometric and energy methods, it is difficult to incorporate deformation of the faces in non-rigid origami. However, deformation of the faces can play a significant role in their mechanical...master thesis 2017

Smit, Michiel (author)The mobilization of the trapped residual oil is an important part of Enhanced Oil Recovery. The desaturation of nonwetting fluids from porous media is often described using capillary numbers which are a ratio of viscous forces over the capillary forces between the wetting and the nonwetting fluids. Twodimensional microfluidic devices ...bachelor thesis 2017

Smit, Ruud (author)Neoclassical economics dictates the decision-making process of economic agents as the mathematical problem of maximizing utility over a prescribed planning horizon. The mathematical similarities with optimal control theory lead to a new interpretation of economic agents as optimal controllers. Pontryagin's maximum principle generates the...master thesis 2018

Smit, Linda (author)Many cities in the Netherlands have poor areas that have to deal with a lot of social problems. One of the approaches that policymakers use to improve these areas is the so- called gentrification approach. In this approach policy makers renovate and rebuild parts of the neighborhoods in order to attract more ‘better educated’ citizens to these...master thesis 2018

Smit, Jasper (author), Tijhuis, Job (author)Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are wounds that form when a person sits or lays in the same<br/>posture for an extended period of time. Continued pressure being applied to the same spot causes<br/>the skin to decay, possibly continuing into underlaying tissue if the wounds are not treated. A common<br/>and proven practice to prevent...bachelor thesis 2018
