This research aims to design and simulate a hinge consisting of shape-memory alloys and polymers, which can be actuated along two axes. The hinge consists of a shape-memory body that is actuated externally by shape-memory alloy springs. To achieve maximum deformation, two small single hinges are made, of which the body has the shape of a plate...

Nitinol shape memory alloys (SMAs) have a unique combination of shape memory capability, making it an attractive material for various engineering and biomedical applications. Additive manufacturing (AM) by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) allows to produce Nitinol net shape parts, which broadens its applications. Due to the high heating and...

In the EU, the heating and cooling of buildings consumes 14% of all energy. This is a major consumer for one type of activity, and it is compounded by the fact that 75% of it is sourced from fossil fuels. The thoughtful design of facades play a major role in the reduction of heating and cooling energy loads, and the reduction of both...

Cartilage defects in the knee lead to limitations in the daily life of a large group of people in the worldwide population. Research on the treatment of cartilage injuries has lead to various clinical procedures, one of them being Matrix Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI). MACI surgery consist of two procedures. During the first...

Nowadays, drug eluting stents (DES) are the treatment of choice for de novo atherosclerotic lesions. Novel DES are shifting to polymer-free (PF) drug delivery in order to avoid the problem of late stent thrombosis associated with long term polymer presence in the vessel lumen. The scope of this study was to assess the potential of a microporous...
