Sadowska, Anna D. (author), Maestre, José María (author), Kassking, Ruud (author), van Overloop, P.J.A.T.M. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We propose a model-predictive control (MPC)-based approach to solve a human-in-the-loop control problem for a network system lacking sensors and actuators to allow for a fully automatic operation. The humans in the loop are, therefore, essential; they travel between the network nodes to provide the remote controller with measurements and to...journal article 2023

Jiang, Jing (author), Chen, Wei (author), Qian, Yichen (author), Meda, Abdulmelik H. (author), Fan, X. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)Considerable advancements in power semiconductor devices have resulted in such devices being increasingly adopted in applications of energy generation, conversion, and transmission. Hence, we proposed a fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) design for 30-V Si-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). To achieve...journal article 2023

The Development and Stability of Palladium-based Thin Films for Hydrogen-related Energy ApplicationsVerma, N. (author)Hydrogen has been contemplated as a desirable energy source of the future with enormous possibilities to create a carbon-neutral society. Since palladium (Pd) readily absorbs hydrogen even at low pressure and room temperature, Pd and its alloys are suitable for hydrogen production, purification, storage, gas sensors, and fuel cell catalyst....doctoral thesis 2022

Koppen, S. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), van Keulen, A. (author)High-tech equipment critically relies on flexures for precise manipulation and measurement. Through elastic deformation, flexures offer extreme position repeatability within a limited range of motion in their degrees of freedom, while constraining motion in the degrees of constraint. Topology optimization proves a prospective tool for the...journal article 2022

Li, Xueliang Sean (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author), Vermetten, Eric (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Smart wearables are increasingly used to help people deal with stress. Still, a less explored area of research in this field concerns the partnerships that smart wearables can take on when engaging people in stress-coping activities. To facilitate further understanding of the human-wearable partnerships, we designed Grippy, a smart wearable...journal article 2022

Zhang, Z. (author), Peeters, J.W.R. (author), Popovich, V. (author), Ayas, C. (author)Hydrogen plays a vital role in the utilisation of renewable energy, but ingress and diffusion of hydrogen in a gas turbine can induce hydrogen embrittlement on its metallic components. This paper aims to investigate the hydrogen transport in a non-hydride forming alloy such as Alloy 690 used in gas turbines inspired by service conditions of...journal article 2022

(author)For Pd thin films, microstructural changes involved during hydrogen cycling provide the information needed to predict and optimize the film's mechanical strength. In this paper, a systematic study of the morphology, microstructure, texture, and stress has been performed on Pd thin films during hydrogen loading and deloading cycles at room...journal article 2022
