Trotta, Luca (author)High-frequency combustion instabilities represent the main technical risk faced by design engineers when developing new chemical rocket propulsion systems. Such instabilities are driven by the coupling between the flames’ heat release rate and the combustion chamber’s acoustic field. As such, they can only be assessed during detailed design...master thesis 2023

Snieder, J. (author), Dielen, Marc (author), van Ostayen, R.A.J. (author)Roll-to-plate nanoimprinting with flexible stamps is a fabrication method to pattern large-area substrates with micro- and nanotextures. The imprint consists of the preferred texture on top of a residual layer, of which the thickness and uniformity is critical for many applications. In this work, a numerical model is developed to predict the...journal article 2022

Delissen, A.A.T.M. (author), Boots, Elwin (author), Laro, Dick (author), Kleijnen, Harry (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Langelaar, M. (author)The design of high-precision motion stages, which must exhibit high dynamic performance, is a challenging task. Manual design is difficult, time-consuming, and leads to sub-optimal designs that fail to fully exploit the extended geometric freedom that additive manufacturing offers. By using topology optimization and incorporating all...journal article 2022

Elbers, N.S.L. (author)The need to contribute to a sustainable future of the aviation industry has spiked an interest in turboprop engines. This is due to the higher propulsive efficiency, the better take-off and landing performance on short runways, and the new developments in propeller-driven hybrid and electric aircraft. The most significant drawback is the noise...master thesis 2021

Ham, Rutger (author)Vibration energy harvesting has proven to be a durable source of energy for a wide variety of applications, however not all of the positions these applications are placed at are suitable for conventional vibration energy harvesting. For some of these applications a frequency up-converted energy harvester could increase the power harvested. These...master thesis 2021

Blokland, Geert (author)Auxetic materials exhibit material properties, which are usually not seen in nature. This type of materials belong to the class of mechanical metamaterials and can be used for e.g. energy absorption, cloaking of objects, shape morphing applications and the design of fiber-reinforced composites. They exhibit a negative Poisson’s value and derive...master thesis 2019

Ochôa, Pedro (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The successful utilization of guided wave-based structural health monitoring (SHM) for detailed quantitative diagnostic of damage in composite aircraft primary structures depends on the excitation frequency, geometry, and positioning of the piezoelectric transducers. This study proposes a novel methodology to consistently define those parameters...journal article 2019

de Jong, J.J. (author), van Dijk, J. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Fast-moving industrial robots exert large varying reaction forces and moments on their base frame, inducing vibrations, wear and accuracy degeneration. These shaking forces and moments can be eliminated by a specific design of the mass distribution of the robot links, resulting in a dynamically balanced mechanism. Obtaining the conditions for...journal article 2019

(author)A new concept for energy efficient annealing of steel strip comprises of multiple rotating heat pipes. Each heat pipe extracts heat from the cooling strip which is reused to increase the temperature of the heating strip. In this context, the heat transfer between the steel strip and the rotating heat pipe is investigated. When the strip is...journal article 2018
