Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has several advantages over conventional surgery, including reduced damage to the body, less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery. However, MIS reduces the amount of space in which clinicians can operate within the body. This often forces them to work around delicate anatomical structures. A new type...

In the field of mechanical metamaterials, unconventional physical properties are realized by changing the geometric structure of a unit cell. A metamaterial is composed of numerous unit cells. Researchers have taken it a step further by making a reprogrammable unit cell. A reprogrammable metamaterial has additional elements or mechanisms in the...

The adoption of data marketplaces is lacking. Data marketplaces work differently from other information sharing platforms (such as supply chain platforms), because they are more open. This openness allows data to be shared with many more companies, bringing more potential benefits, but also increasing the risk. On data marketplaces there...

The level of advancement in the understanding of the mechanical properties of volcanic rocks is comparatively lower than that of sedimentary rocks. As part of the SUCCEED Project (Synergetic Utilisation of CO2 Storage Coupled with Geothermal Energy Deployment), which aims to investigate the feasibility of injecting captured and produced CO2 into...

A growing energy demand has sparked interest into harvesting energy from the human body. Often, a rotational proof mass is used to harness energy for a wearable from kinetic motion of its user. The addition of a spring has the potential to significantly increase efficiency for these low-power rotational energy harvesters. In this research a...

Background: Treatment of eye conditions, such as retinal detachment, macular pucker or macular holes, ask for an intervention named ”vitrectomy”. In a vitrectomy, multiple surgical instruments are brought into the eye, to facilitate removal of the vitreous humor. The instruments enter the eye through trocar ports that are placed in the sclera....

Flexure mechanisms are widely utilized in precision mechanisms, but their practical use is limited by three major factors, namely restricted range of motion, parasitic motion, and significant reduction in support stiffness when deflected. To address this limitation, in this research the potential of variable thickness flexures in minimizing the...

Historically, viruses have always been the causative agent of most human diseases. As one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, the COVID-19 pandemic, associated with SARS-CoV-2, is responsible for tens of millions of casualties in the world since the end of 2019. Meanwhile, it also has destabilized global economics. Therefore, in...

Origami-based mechanisms have emerged as a promising solution for developing locomotion systems. Its light-weight nature, scalability, and possibility for 2D monolithic manufacturing makes origami an attractive option for various applications, such as mobile robots and meta-surfaces. While various types of origami-based locomotion exist,...

The offshore monopile decommissioning demand will become definite in the coming years. Our responsibility is to ensure the rights and duties of other legitimate uses by completely removing the ageing monopile from the seabed to continuously redeveloping offshore wind farms within the same location. The growing number of past, present, and future...

Although relevant information regarding the curtain walls structural damage state is available, hardly any data referring to the seismic loading effect on the overall façade performance is found in the literature. The present research attempts to assess the unitised curtain walls seismic performance by identifying the occurring damage mechanisms...

Automation within an industrial sector has now for years been an obvious factor. Everywhere mechanical instruments and sensors are implemented for fast and precise processes. The agricultural sector is some steps behind in relation to other sectors. Reason being that there are many irregularities which in other sectors have been made into...

The need for more accurate cleavage modelling is particularly acute for a new generation of high-strength steels because they obtain their favourable properties through complex, multi-phase microstructures. One of the challenges in cleavage modelling is the strong sensitivity to material characteristics at the microlevel. This thesis proposes a...

The treatment of largy bone defect remains challenging in clinics. All the clinically available bone grafts have their own limitations and are not ideal for the treatment. Therefore, developing a new generation of suitable bone substitutes is urgently needed. In the recent years, porous magnesium (Mg) has been extensively studied for orthopedic...

Introduction: In intensive care units (ICU), the most significant life support technology for patients with acute respiratory failure is mechanical ventilation. A mismatch between ventilatory support and patient demand is referred to as patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA), and it is associated with a series of adverse...

A new multiscale fracture mechanics methodology is being developed at TU Delft for composite materials. This methodology aims to unlock the use of hierarchical multiscale frameworks to link sub-ply fracture processes to laminate failure. In this thesis, this methodology is extended to 3D, both in terms of its analytical formulation and the...
