Egberts, G. (author)Burns can make patients’ lives quite miserable. Apart from prominent and thickened, or hypertrophic, scars, the skin may be characterized by contraction. When this contraction is so severe that the patient loses joint mobility, it is called contracture. Then a patient may have difficulties with sports or other daily activities. The consequence...doctoral thesis 2023

Lips, Maarten (author)The online website Skill Circuits is a tool developed by teachers at the Delft University of Technology. Skill Circuits is an online learning tool that presents students with a node-link (i.e. a tree) structure where each node represents a skill, containing tasks that aim to teach the skill. The website aims to benefit teachers, by letting them...master thesis 2023

Wisselo, Gudo (author)In 2050, over 80% of the worldwide electricity demand is expected to be supplied by renewables. The mismatch between supply and demand resulting from these intermittent energy sources and the physical limits of existing electrical grids are challenges in this transition, for which batteries are part of the solution. Therefore, there is a renewed...master thesis 2023

PYTHAROULIOU, ANGELINA (author)The rapid increase in global population and rising demands have resulted in a shortage of clean water, depleting several of the Earth's reservoirs, especially those that reserve fresh water. Just 0.007% of the water on Earth is used to hydrate and feed billions of people, as determined by the water balance of the planet. Water-stressed nations...master thesis 2023

Mbwanda, Tendai (author)Diversity in the use cases of semantic 3D city models today is unprecedented. A key enabler for this is the CityGML standard developed by the OGC to facilitate storing and exchanging these city models. Nevertheless, CityGML only provides object definitions which cater for a wide range of applications, making necessary the need to attach...master thesis 2023

Kaniewski, Tadeusz (author)The computational cost of high-fidelity engineering simulations, for example CFD, is prohibitive if the application requires frequent design iterations or even fully fledged optimization. A popular way to reduce the computational cost and enable fast iteration cycles is to use surrogate models that are trained to predict simulation results from...master thesis 2023

Trumic, Maja (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Jovanovic, Kosta (author), Fagiolini, Adriano (author)This letter investigates the stability properties of the soft inverted pendulum with affine curvature - a template model for nonlinear control of underactuated soft robots. We look at how changes in physical parameters affect stability and equilibrium. We give conditions under which zero dynamics corresponding to a collocated choice of the...journal article 2023

Smit, Thijs (author), Koppen, S. (author), Ferguson, Stephen J. (author), Helgason, Benedikt (author)A promising new treatment for large and complex bone defects is to implant specifically designed and additively manufactured synthetic bone scaffolds. Optimizing the scaffold design can potentially improve bone in-growth and prevent under- and over-loading of the adjacent tissue. This study aims to optimize synthetic bone scaffolds over...journal article 2023

Egberts, G. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), van Zuijlen, Paul (author)Severe burn injuries often lead to skin contraction, leading to stresses in and around the damaged skin region. If this contraction leads to impaired joint mobility, one speaks of contracture. To optimize treatment, a mathematical model, that is based on finite element methods, is developed. Since the finite element-based simulation of skin...journal article 2023
