De TU Delft heeft in het kader van haar 180-jarig bestaan (1842 – 2022) in oktober 2022 een aantal nieuwe plaquettes geplaatst op haar campus langs de Mekelweg. De locatie wordt aangeduid met “Walk of Fame”. De plaquettes langs deze walk of Fame eren zowel zogenaamde TU Delft “Historische Alumni” en TU Delft “Hedendaagse Alumni”. Hierbij springt...

Over the years, the installed capacity of offshore wind turbines is increasing rapidly. However, the Levelized Costs Of Energy (LCOE) is still higher than the LCOE of traditional energy production methods like nuclear power or energy from coals or gas. This research focuses on a further decrease of the LCOE, by minimizing the mass of a monopile...

Topology optimization is widely used within the academic environment. It is however not yet a standard design tool within the commercial industry. My research aims to shorten this gap by applying a topology optimization for an industrial design load. The design load is from a Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) that requires active cooling in order...

Strabismus, or “crossed eyes”, is a condition in which the eyes do not line up in the same direction when focusing on an object. The DAISY is a device that is designed to measure Strabismus on young children, this has to be done quickly in order to not lose the attention of the child. In order to calibrate the main measuring principle, the...

From the results it can be concluded that a fixed and a free voice-coil actuated impact drive mechanism can be used as a positioning system in a precision environment, such as the semiconductor industry and extreme large telescopes, to position an object within 1 nanometer and hold the position passively stable within 10nm/hr. The empirically...

Optical systems in high precision equipment become increasingly more complex due to the raising number of optical mounts used for mounting and positioning of optical components. Additional, the installation of electronics and inert gas purging systems to protect the optics against the abrasive optical beam extends the amount of components in the...

With electron beam lithography, a cutting edge technology has been developed that might introduce new possibilities in the design of chips. The word "might" has been used here because e-beam lithography is not yet available for the mass production market. One of the bottlenecks in the development of e-beam lithography is the positioning...

During a rocket launch a spacecraft is, among other loads, exposed to a potentially damaging acoustic load. Prior to space flight, ground tests are performed to determinewhether a spacecraft, or a specific part thereof, can withstand the acoustic load. These tests take place in a reverberation chamber. An acoustic feedback control algorithm...

In the past decades research on Active Vibration Control (AVC) has found increasing interest in control of flexible thin-walled structures, mainly made of new advanced materials such as composite carbon fibre. These types of composite structures combine high stiffness with good flexibility in achieving complex shapes, and are mostly used in...

White light reflectance spectroscopy is used to determine the reflective properties of human tissue. It is believed that the reflectance of the human tissue is dependent on the pressure applied to the tissue. The reflectance of the human tissue might be an indication if the tissue is diseased. Spectroscopy and a pressure measurement have to be...

Considering the trend in autonomous vehicles, the behaviour of the driver changes from active to passive. In the future, the driver will perform secondary tasks during driving. An example of such a task is reading. For this reason, there is an increase in requirements in respect to ride comfort. Improved suspension systems are of major interest,...

Industry pushes towards ever faster and more accurate production of thin substrates. Contactless positioning offers advantages, especially in terms of risk of breakage and contamination. A system is considered designed for contactless positioning by floating a silicon wafer on a thin film of air. This paper focuses on the design of a control...

To meet the ever increasing demands for the linearization of the nonlinear plant various techniques have been proposed. Out of the possible approaches disturbance observer based techniques is very popular in industrial application due to its simple implementation and high accuracy. However, the linear disturbance observer based technique is...

The field of Hyper-reduction for Nonlinear Finite Element Method attempts to address the large durations due to repeated evaluation and assembly of the internal force and Jacobian. Stability, accuracy and speed are three aspects of thesemethods that has been dealt with in this thesis. There are two methods that are popular within the...

Kriging based methods enable the deterministic and robust optimization of computationally expensive systems. With a limited amount of function evaluations the optima are found in an iterative process with expected improvement as infill sampling criteria. Outputs of computer models can be stochastic and/or the models do not always succeed to...

Development of high precision machine tools enables the industry to continuously tighten tolerances and surface finish quality demands. Controlling the thermal state of the machine and process has become the dominant challenge for machine tool manufacturers. Defining models that predict the thermally induced deformations is an important aspect...

Piezo-Stepper actuators also called as piezowalk actuators find widespread application in precision mechatronic systems. This is primarily because of their high accuracy, long range of motion and compact volume. One such application is in the optical column manipulator of a lithography system. During operation, whenever a motion is desired...
