Papoulidou, Sofia (author)
The current structural demands include complex designs, efficient utilization of material resources, and maintenance of existing structures and infrastructure. In all these cases, the connections between structural components are the main focus of design since they are widely considered the weakest link in a structural system. The demand for...

This research explores the landscape of dataset generation through the lens of Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis (PPCA) and β-Conditional Variational Auto-encoder (β-CVAE) models. We conduct a comparative analysis of their respective capabilities in reproducing datasets that mirror the distribution of the original data that comes from a...

Hip replacement surgery, also termed total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical intervention intended to substitute a deteriorated or dysfunctional hip joint with an artificial prosthesis. This procedure is commonly indicated for individuals experiencing severe hip discomfort resulting from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip...

To mitigate global warming, society must reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The transportation sector is one of the largest energy consumers and greenhouse gas emitters. One way to mitigate the emissions of this sector is to reduce the weight of vehicles using Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), particularly dual phase steels (DP). However,...

Shoulder injuries, prevalent worldwide, often occur from ageing and accidents. In Western countries, these injuries primarily afflict the elderly population, while in rural regions of Bangladesh, Iran, India, and Pakistan, they affect younger individuals who are often the family's primary earners. Due to that, preventing and aiding the recovery...

Masonry structures occupy a significant share of the current building stock due to widespread material availability and cost-effectiveness. Regions with high seismicity, like the Himalayas, have typically developed local seismic culture over the centuries. This has led to improved construction techniques providing an enhanced seismic performance...

In robotic manipulation of deformable objects, the continuum nature of the object state leads to prohibitively high degrees of freedom when traditional modelling techniques are applied, leading to much research focusing on approaches that avoid an explicit object model. However, without such a model the opportunities for long horizon planning...

Crane hardstands serve as crucial platforms for supporting heavy lifting equipment and ensuring operational efficiency. However, crane hardstands are not infinitely stiff and will deform upon loading. Uneven loading during wind turbine installation will result in differential deformation of the crane hardstand, causing the crane to tilt. A small...

In recent times, soft matter has gained significant interest among researchers in the fields of biomechanics and biomedicine, especially in areas like soft robotics and biopolymers, due to its remarkable ability to undergo substantial deformations. Soft robotics often requires materials that can flexibly adapt to or mimic the movements of living...

Introduction: High cardiovascular mortality primarily limits survival following kidney transplantation (KTx). The increased risk is intrinsically connected to cardiac structural and functional abnormalities. LV volumetric imaging measurements are used to quantify this, such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end...

This master thesis explores strain-induced quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as novel optical nanoprobes for Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors. These types of emitters could outperform conventionally used fluorophores due to their high brightness, stability in harsh environments, biocompatibility and ease...

The process of physical rehabilitation in most cases consists of visits to a physical therapist and exercises the patient is expected to perform at home. To increase or maintain strength or flexibility these exercises need to be performed regularly. Practice teaches us that not all patients succeed here. In this project, we look into what is...

The energy market is growing and noise regulations for offshore foundation pile installation grow stricter. New initiatives arise to comply with the ongoing developments in the field, such as the BLUE Piling Technology under development by IQIP. Its features are presented as reduced underwater noise levels during installation, which is attibuted...

Background: Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries is an established predictor of these events. Ideally, patient-specific prevention plans can be developed that target advanced plaque development prior to events. Morphometry of advanced calcified plaque phenotypes can be assessed through...

A Helically wrapped structure is a hollow pipe structure that is made from a metal strip and the overlapping interfaces are adhesively joined. It is yet unknown how to determine the quasi-static strength and predict the fatigue life of this structure. A method was developed to determine whether either the adherend or the adhesive is critical to...

Stability assessment for dikes and dike reinforcement requires insight in soil strength behaviour. The required parameters for this assessment are typically obtained from conventional laboratory tests. These conventional tests are not performed under conditions found in the field. For example, a dike section resembles to plane strain conditions....

Two-dimensional (membrane) materials have been receiving much scientific attention due to their unique material properties that can be used to study the smallest physical phenomena. One such material is graphene, perceived as the holy grail in material physics, due to its unique material properties. Its aspect ratio diminishes the bending...

Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) can be used to reduce the amount of reinforcement needed to control crack widths. SHCC has a strain hardening behaviour with dense micro-cracking, which makes it more ductile compared to conventional concrete. Conventional concrete can be used in the non-critical locations. An interface is formed...

This research presents a measurement method for a compliant gripper finger, whereby the location of the contact with an object and the exerted grasp force are measured indirectly, instead of directly on the contacting surface. For this purpose, the deformation is measured using strain gauges at two locations on the inside structure of the finger...

Bipolar half plates (BPPs) are important parts of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells. Metallic BPPs are generally produced by stamping or hydro forming. However, these processes are not continuous and relatively slow compared to rotary forming. Rotary forming is a continuous process and could potentially be a faster BPP...
