Toward 3D printed suspended microchannel resonators: A study on damping and mass resolution of 3D printed microbeam resonators

Biosensing properties like mass, density and stiffness on a single cell level can help diagnose diseases. Mass sensing of cells and subcellular components is typically performed with resonant microstructures. Recently such microstructures were fabricated using an emerging 3D printing technique called two-photon polymerization (2PP) contrary to...

Validation and optimization of Patient-specific orthopedic plate design for proximal femur fixation in slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition in adolescents affecting the proximal femur. Increased mechanical forces result in fracture of the growth plate. Factors increasing the mechanical forces include for example obesity and endocrine disorders. As a result of the fracture a shift of the bone shaft towards the femur head occurs,...

Design and Implementation of a Path Following System for an Autonomous Vehicle

At this moment a revolution is going on in the development of our vehicles. The driver is going to be replaced by the vehicle itself. To investigate this autonomy Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is project leader of a partnership called Dutch Automated Vehicle Initiative (DAVI). This group of industry and academics are combining their...
