Piëzo materialen worden al veel toegepast. Er zijn diverse nieuwe ontwikkelingen, zoals het piëzo effect in composieten (PVDF). Het blijkt dat deze ontwikkelingen nog in een pril stadium zijn en voorlopig niet commercieel beschikbaar. Ondanks dat het piëzo principe al jaren bestaat weten ontwerpers er …

Thermo-elektrische materialen zijn al sinds de 19e eeuw bekend. In 1834 ontdekte de Franse natuurkundige Jean Peltier dat er warmte wordt getransporteerd van de overgang tussen twee metalen wanneer er een elektrische stroom vloeit door het grensvlak. Het grote voordeel van Peltier elementen is dat er …

A lot of energy in the Port of Rotterdam is getting wasted by power plants or other petrochemical companies. This waste energy can be reused. The assignment of this feasibility study is how a technical design concept of an integrated district heating process is applicable in the Westland. This thesis …

Within the semiconductor industry the demand for ever decreasing chip and resistor sizes has forced the use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) waves in lithography machines. The older generation lithography machines used lenses to focus the waves. These lenses aren't transparent for EUV waves with a wavelength …

This report is written to guide the reader step by step through the process of developing a heating stage and a iron mapping device for a photoluminescence setup, used to measure the lifetime of silicon wafers in solar cells. Subject specific terms will be explained throughout the report. First, research …

In the medical community, X-rays are an important tool in imaging the human body. In principle X-ray images are 2 dimensional images. By measuring such X-ray images at multiple angles, one can construct the 3 dimensional inner structure of the sample. This 3 dimensional structure is created by applying …

The current paper investigated age-related differences in the relations of psychological contract breach with work outcomes over time.
