Purpose: The present study deals with the numerical modeling of the low-velocity impact damage of laminated composites which have increasingly important applications in aerospace primary structures. Such damage, generated by various sources during ground handling, substantially reduces the mechanical …

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 …

A lot of industries in the world use water and produce waste, and with limited water resources and an increasing population, industrial development has grown, putting even more stress on resources. This issue of concern has been recognized and efforts into conserving these precious resources has been …

This report contains the results of the graduation research of Jurre Kuijper and Martin Volgers. The research goal is to find an appropriate model to calculate the heat transfer under different sets of system conditions. The system in this case is a sewer heat system, which consists of a sewage pipe …

Genetic assays are very useful tools for clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. This thesis addresses the development of electrochemical microRNA genosensor, envisioned to be used as a clinical diagnostic tool. Dysregulation of numerous microRNAs have been reported to be closely associated to diseases. …

In dit afstudeerverslag staat een onderzoek beschreven naar de beste methode om Excel applicaties te testen. Onder testen wordt hierbij verstaan het controleren of een Excel applicatie correct reageert op gegeven input. De Excel applicaties zijn gemaakt door de InfoSystems groep, een ontwikkelgroep binnen …

During the previous HVTT conference in Melbourne, results have been presented of a project FORWARD, including eleven different trailer manufacturers, involving testing and modeling activities to establish a practical basis for realistic fatigue assessment as a step towards an improved light-weight trailer …

The paper discusses the derivation of test data for three tractor-semitrailer combinations, to be used for strength and durability analysis of semi-trailers with the ultimate goal to reduce the semitrailer mass. Mathematical relationships have been used to transfer these data to representative loading …
