Kirschneck, M. (author)The ever growing population of human beings on earth introduces the challenge of providing affordable, sustainable energy for everyone. Emerging markets, such as China, India or Brazil, quench their thirst for cheap energy by fossil fuels and nuclear power. At the same time researchers from all over the globe warn the public of the advent of a...doctoral thesis 2016

Verbart, A. (author)This thesis contains contributions to the development of topology optimization techniques capable of handling stress constraints. The research that led to these contributions was motivated by the need for topology optimization techniques more suitable for industrial applications. Currently, topology optimization is mainly used in the initial...doctoral thesis 2015

Misiun, Grzegorz (author), van de Ven, E.A. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), Geijselaers, Hubert (author), van Keulen, A. (author), van den Boogaard, Ton (author), Ayas, C. (author)An important cause of failure in powder bed additive manufacturing is the distortion of the part due to thermal shrinkage during printing and the relaxation of residual stresses after its release from the base plate. In this paper, Additive Manufacturing simulations are coupled with Topology Optimization in order to generate designs that are...journal article 2021

Akbaba, Kaan (author)Designing structures that are more sustainable is a relevant topic within the construction industry. By choosing materials that have a low embodied energy value and optimizing the structures that can be constructed by these materials, one could potentially minimize the economical and environmental footprint of a structural design.<br/><br/>As...master thesis 2023

van der Hout, Thomas (author)Power electronic systems are reaching higher efficiencies as their technology advances, which often results in components of smaller size with higher power densities. Cooling these components becomes increasingly challenging as high power densities require cooling with large heat fluxes. Topology optimization (TO) of thermo-fluids can be used to...master thesis 2021

Römer, Nol (author)As mechanisms become increasingly precise, so becomes the reduction of noise and vibration increasingly important. One method for eliminating vibrations in mechanisms is dynamic balancing. This method prevents vibrations from occurring by designing the mechanism such that the inertial forces and moments of all bodies in the mechanism cancel each...master thesis 2023

Kapildewsing, Rajiv (author)Vibration energy harvesters can help in different areas. These vary from supplying power to medical implants or wireless sensors that can aid in predicting natural disasters. However, the problem is that they are not able to generate power across a large bandwidth of frequencies. Bistable energy harvesters can solve this problem when these are...master thesis 2021

Blokland, Geert (author)Auxetic materials exhibit material properties, which are usually not seen in nature. This type of materials belong to the class of mechanical metamaterials and can be used for e.g. energy absorption, cloaking of objects, shape morphing applications and the design of fiber-reinforced composites. They exhibit a negative Poisson’s value and derive...master thesis 2019

Vijaya Kumar, Harshavardhan (author)Topology optimization (TO) has proven to be a capable design methodology for the realization of lightweight solutions that maximize structural stiffness or other design objectives. Due to its capability to be adapted to suit a wide range of objectives and constraints, both structural and non-structural, TO has been widely applied in all...master thesis 2021

Zoutendijk, Mike (author)Structure Optimization has been an important subject with many applications for centuries. In the last sixty years, numerical optimization has facilitated large advancements in this field. One of the areas in Structure Optimization is Topology Optimization, which is used for Additive Manufacturing purposes. In this thesis we explore Static and...master thesis 2019

Scholten, T.C. (author)Topology optimization is widely used within the academic environment. It is however not yet a standard design tool within the commercial industry. My research aims to shorten this gap by applying a topology optimization for an industrial design load. The design load is from a Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) that requires active cooling in order...master thesis 2017

Sanchez-Simon del Pino, Claudia (author)Topology Optimization is an optimization problem based on the distribution of material within a design domain under specific load states. The goal of this technology is minimizing a certain function, such as compliance, mass or frequency. <br/>This technology can improve the performance of components in different fields within the shipbuilding...master thesis 2018

de Zeeuw, Alwin (author)Wave barriers are a common mitigation measure when dealing with environmentally induced vibrations. These wave barriers generally consist of stiff vertical walls buried in the soil to impede waves on their path from the source to the receiver. The geometries of the wave barriers that are used in practice are very simple. More complex geometries...master thesis 2018

Pavlidou, Stella (author)In an urban context that needs to be constantly adapted to global crises, population movements, climate change and economic crises, designers and engineers strive to configure solutions that respond to multiple criteria. Within this framework, the concept of generative design is gaining more and more ground in the construction field, allowing...master thesis 2022

Bleker, Lazlo (author)As of writing this thesis little research has been done in truss layout optimization for multiple design alternatives. A hybrid scheme is proposed in which the fast gradient-based search of the Ground Structure Method (GSM) is employed for the search of optimal topology and size, while a population-based meta-heuristic algorithm explores the non...master thesis 2021
