Gastvrijheid onder de internationale studenten van de opleiding Mechanical Engineering tijdens de introductie.

The aim of this report is to document the configuration, design and testing of an innovative hybrid electric weed brush to be carried by a Antonio Carraro SP5008 Hydrostaticly articulated multi-purpose maintenance tractor. This project is issued by Hissink Custom Made Machinery, as an graduate assingment …

In the recent past, the use of resins in modern tread compounds has increased considerably, in order to further improve tire properties. Based on the experience with silica-silane filler system, which led to a different network structure and a significantly changed devulcanization behavior, the influence …

Aircraft require significant quantities of fuel in order to generate the power required to sustain a flight. Burning this fuel causes the release of polluting particles to the atmosphere and constitutes a direct cost attributed to fuel consumption. The optimization of various aircraft operations in different …

This paper describes the results of a second year Expo project team of Fontys Engineering, department Mechanical Engineering. During this research the design of a configurable damped spring design has been investigated. A calculation tool has been defined and validated using a Nylon 3D printed spring …

Laminated composites have important applications in modern aeronautical structures due to their extraordinary mechanical and environmental behaviour. Nevertheless, aircraft composite structures are highly vulnerable to impact damage, either by low-velocity sources during maintenance or high-velocity …

The ‘precision’ in Precision Livestock Farming is not the same as that of precision engineering in high-tech industry. It’s not about micro- and nanometers, but about the precise control of farming management with the aid of sensing and data processing. However, there is overlap in the technological …

Since March 2015 the Faculty of Technology, Innovation and Society (TIS) of The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) is a CDIO member with all its twelve programs: Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Management, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Building Engineering, Civil Engineering, Climate …

Author supplied from the article: ABSTRACT Increasing global competition in manufacturing technology puts pressure on lead times for product design and production engineering. By the application of effective methods for systems engineering (engineering design), the development risks can be addressed …

Before the start and during the first weeks of their first year, it has been observed by teachers that engineering students start with a high level of motivation, which often seems to decrease during the course of the first semesters. Such a decrease in motivation can be a main driver for students …
