Resonance-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy was used to increase the elemental sensitivity of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. In resonance-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, two lasers are used. The first laser creates a plasma, and the second laser re excites the most …

Tijdens de conferentie Trends in Welding Research van juni jl. in Chicago was een speciale sessie gewijd aan de microstructuurontwikkeling tijdens het lassen. Eén van de bijdragen was een presentatie van de onderzoeksresultaten van een M2i-onderzoek (Materials Innovation Institute), waarbij Tata Steel …

Nowadays, a lot of precision components are manufactured and have to be measured to check dimensions and geometry. Xpress PE started to develop a coordinate measuring machine with a sub-micron measuring uncertainty called TriNano. The difference between the TriNano and other machines is that the TriNano …

A new type of greenhouse with linear Fresnel lenses in the cover performing as a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system is presented. The CPV system retains all direct solar radiation, while diffuse solar radiation passes through and enters into the greenhouse cultivation system. The removal of all direct …

The Franco-German relationship has always been very prominent in European politics and currently still is. These two states that started out as enemies in post-war Europe, gradually managed to come together and form a partnership. This dissertation seeks to examine during which main events in European …

Deze afstudeerscriptie beslaat een onderzoek naar het inzichtelijk maken van de facilitaire kosten per fte binnen organisaties met een kantooromgeving dat werkt volgens Het Nieuwe Werken. Met de komst van HNW is in veel organisaties het kosteninzicht verdwenen. Om dit inzicht terug te kunnen krijgen, …

In the high-tech mechatronics world, aluminum and steel are well known materials, while carbon fiber is often neglected. In the RAAK project 'Composites in Mechatronics', the use of carbon fiber composites in mechatronics is investigated.
