Meskers, A.J.H. (author), Spronck, J.W. (author), Munnig Schmidt, R.H. (author)Periodic nonlinearity (PNL) in displacement interferometers is a systematic error source that limits measurement accuracy. The PNL of coaxial heterodyne interferometers is highly influenced by the polarization state and orientation of the source frequencies. In this Letter, we investigate this error source and discuss two interferometer designs,...journal article 2014

Ramanandan, G.K.P. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Ramakrishnan, G. (author), Petrik, P. (author), Hendrikx, R. (author), Planken, P.C.M. (author)We show that the interface between gold and thermally formed cuprous oxide, which emits terahertz radiation when illuminated with ultrafast femtosecond lasers, is in fact an AuCu/Cu2O interface due to the formation of the thermal diffusion alloy AuCu. The alloy enables the formation of a Schottky-barrier-like electric field near the interface...journal article 2014

(author)We report a series of powder X-ray diffraction experiments performed on the soft porous crystals MIL-53(Al) and NH2-MIL-53(Al) in a diamond anvil cell under different pressurization media. Systematic refinements of the obtained powder patterns demonstrate that these materials expand along a specific direction while undergoing total volume...journal article 2014

Brouwers, I.J. (author)As many areas in The Netherlands are located below or slightly above mean sea level, or adjacent to large rivers, a lot of effort is put into ensuring the Dutch keep dry feet. The prevention of flooding is the most important and internationally well-known layer in the Dutch water safety policy. Nowadays this takes place by means of taking...master thesis 2014

Visschedijk, A.B.M. (author)The Greater New Orleans area suffers from flooding caused by extreme rainfall events on a yearly basis. Since most stormwater is flushed into the drainage system via mostly impervious surface, water does not infiltrate into the ground, which causes subsidence due to soil drying out, which causes damages to roads, buildings and underground...master thesis 2014

Wang, F. (author)This dissertation establishes a methodology for evaluating the performance of take-back and treatment systems for end-oflife electronics (e-waste). First, a comprehensive classification is developed to fully understand the complex characteristics of e-waste. A multivariate model is then created to quantify e-waste generation for mapping e-waste...doctoral thesis 2014

Meesters, E.I. (author)This research is done for the NGO CooP-Africa. Coop-Africa offers people the opportunity to improve their own situation by making bicycles accessible for them. A bicycle allows people to cover a distance four times quicker than on foot; with the help of a bicycle they can transport five times more freight. This allows entrepreneurs to transport...master thesis 2014

Venrooij, J. (author)Vehicle accelerations affect the human body in various ways. In some cases, accelerations cause involuntary motions of limbs like arms and hands. If someone is engaged in a manual control task at the same time, these involuntary limb motions can lead to involuntary control forces and control inputs. This phenomenon is called biodynamic...doctoral thesis 2014

Pereboom, H.P. (author)The achievable dynamic performance in high-precision systems by applying light and stiff design principles is reaching its limits. To further increase performance, better insight is needed in the cause and effect of the systems modeshapes and forced vibrations. In this way, transfer functions between actuator/excitation sources and sensor...master thesis 2014

(author)Presently large efforts are conducted in Munich towards the development of proton beams for bio-medical applications, generated via the technique of particle acceleration from high-power, short-pulse lasers. While so far mostly offline diagnostics tools are used in this context, we aim at developing a reliable and accurate online range...conference paper 2014

Steenstra, R.S. (author)For the design of granular bed protections often a stability parameter is used. The stability parameter represents the forces that are acting on the stones and is used to predict the response of the bed to these forces. Existing parameters are often derived for a limited range of application. When the parameter is used outside this range, the...master thesis 2014
