Course Description
This 'Composites' course gives an introduction into the basics of long fibre reinforced composite mechanics and
production processes. The composite materials considered are actually layer structures (laminate) built from thin Tests
layer made of fibre reinforced polymers. The fibres orientation is usually chosen to match the loading direction. The
material obtained is therefore Tailor-made, but also highly anisotropic. Also the layer-wise structure makes it Exam
different than monotonic materials in terms of processing.
The theoretical part deals with the Classical Lamination theory. It starts from the properties of the basic
constituents, which leads to the behavior within a single layer. The extension to the lamination of single layers with
different orientation leads to the thermo-mechanical behavior of a laminate. The failure resistance of such
materials is also highlighted.
The course also gives the opportunity to apply this specific knowledge to some applications. This includes a set of
labworks both modeling oriented (Finite Element) as experimental (Fabrication and mechanical properties). Finally,
a composites related company is also visited by groups of 2 students, leading to a company assignment.
Summarises the production techniques, introduces micromechanics, Classical Laminate Theory, simple strength
criteria, Production technique & mechanical property labwork; Visit of composite company, with company

Content
Basic models and concepts of machine dynamics are presented using a non-linear finite element method. In this
approach the machine or mechanism is modelled as an assembly of finite elements including hinges, beams,
trusses or more specialized elements used to describe joints and bearings. The influence of component
compliances on accuracy and stability of machines is analysed. More specifically, pose dependent linearized
models can be derived analytically from which natural frequencies and buckling properties as well as their mode
shapes can be computed. Furthermore, the linearized models offer input-output relations that are suited for control
system design and analysis. Finally, the non-linear models are suited for numerical simulations of mechanical
systems as well as mechatronic systems in which (intelligent) control systems are incorporated to increase
machine functionality and tracking or positioning accuracy

Content
Elastomer or Rubber Technology represents a sub-group of the wider field of polymer technology. It covers about
15% of the total polymer turnover. Polymer-technology originated from rubber-technology, but rubbers have kept
their own identity because of their unique combination of resilience and form stability after extremely large
deformations, commonly designated as "rubber-elasticity".
Elastomeric articles always are there to perform a function, wherein the rubber-elastic properties are the key factor:
e.g. a car-tire translates all car-drivers interventions into the car-road contact: accelerating, breaking, cornering,
etc. In this functional performance, the design of the article, the composition of the elastomeric material -
commonly prepared for the purpose and called "compounding" - and the manufacturing technique all come
together and jointly determine the end-result.
In this introductory course the structural characteristics and properties of elastomers and fillers are covered, as
well as the basic principles of compounding, processing and vulcanization, all illustrated with representative
examples of rubber applications.
The course includes a 5 days laboratory training into rubber compounding, vulcanization and characterization of
mechanical properties, mainly to illustrate and visualize the main processing and performance tests in use in the
rubber world, as they are different from thermoplastic polymers.
Some basic knowledge of polymers. Recommended but not required for students within the Faculty CTW:

Course description/ contents:
This course addresses the use of high power laser sources (typically 50W and more) for the processing of Prese
materials (mainly metals). After an introduction to the generation and properties of laser radiation, laser sources,
and physical phenomena governing laser-material interaction (absorption and heat transfer), the course focusses
on the use, advantages and benefits of the laser as a production tool. Not only, conventional processes like laser-
cutting, -welding and surface treatment are discussed, but also relatively new processes like micro-processing, on Prese
micro- and nano-meter scale are studied. To fully exploit the advantages of the laser as a production tool, an
existing product might need to be redesigned Therefore the concept of “Design for Laser” is addressed in this
Prese
course. The laser(source) and laser-material-processing are highly flexible, allowing a high degree of automation.
Therefore process-control (real-time feedback) is discussed. Four practical assignments, in which small groups of
students work on experiments with industrial state-of-the-art high-power laser equipment, are part of the course.

Content
Moulding technology provides deeper understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations
in the metals and alloys during moulding processes. The processes include casting, forging and welding. In fact all
processes where the resulting microstructure of the material is influenced by heat and/or mechanical deformation Tests
may be considered. The development of the microstructure depends on the process conditions and is key to
understand the material properties and to find new routes to property and microstructure optimization. In this way Prese
product performance can be enhanced or safeguarded.
Understanding the influence of heat and deformation on the interrelation between process, product and material
properties forms one of the course goals.
Structure
The course consists of two parts. In the first part (quartile 3) a limited number of five to six lectures are given to
provide the background in thermodynamics of metal alloys and solidification. The lectures treat the origin of phase
diagrams which are vital to understanding of the behavior of most engineering materials. They also explain the
phenomena occurring during solidification of materials and solid state phase transformations.
In the second part (quartile 3 and if necessary quartile 4) the student selects a typical moulding process and/or
phenomenon (assignment). The student will prepare a 30 minute lecture to be presented in front of the colleague
students. A list of possible subjects is supplied, but students are encouraged to propose relevant subjects
themselves.
During the lecture the student will discuss the interrelations between microstructure, material and the production
process. He/she will explain the metallurgical background of the selected process/phenomenon in light of the
provided lectures on thermodynamics and solidification. Furthermore, he/she will provide a short reader supporting
the lecture.
Support
During the second part the students may receive assistance from the instructor with the preparation of the lecture
and the reader. As soon as the lecture and the reader are of sufficient quality (pre-lecture check by instructor), the
student will be given the opportunity to give the 30 minute lecture. The work should be presented at the level of a
master student having followed the course. During the lecture the other participating students are encouraged to
ask (in-depth) questions.

The course addresses the following problem: How to estimate the dynamic quantities in a physical process given
the data from a sensory system? Although the applications are wide: (ranging from production processes, water Recom
management, orbit determination, telecommunication and so on), the course will concentrate on robotic -
applications: navigation and tracking. Especially, the SLAM problem will be addressed. SLAM = simultaneous
localisation and mapping, e.g. a mobile robot that has to navigate within an unseen environment. The course will Instru
familiarise the student with methods for the estimation of state variables in dynamic systems. The course starts
with an introduction of the topic 'parameter estimation' which is the fundament for state estimation. After that, the Assig
estimation paradigm will be embedded in a dynamic framework. For linear-Gaussian systems this leads to the well-
known Kalman filter which is an online estimation method. An extension of the Kalman filter makes it applicable to
offline estimation, and to prediction. For nonlinear dynamic systems, the so-called 'extended Kalman filter' is a
suboptimal solution which only works well if the nonlinearities are not severe and the disturbances are Gaussian.
Another estimation method is the 'particle filter'. This method is generally applicable, and is optimal, but it is
Lectu
computationally intensive. An important aspect of the course is bringing a theoretical concept to a practical
solution. Students that attend this course will design an estimator for a given navigation process. Various
estimation methods (e.g. Kalman, extended Kalman, particle filtering) will be tested and evaluated with a tracking
and SLAM problem. Matlab is used as a development platform.

Prese
Knowledge on the visco-elastic behavior of polymer melts is not only of crucial importance for conventional
processing techniques such as extrusion and injection molding, but also for novel processing technologies for the
production of thermoplastic composite products. This course starts off with a description of the basic models for
describing the properties of the visco-elastic behavior of polymer melts (relaxation, creep, dynamic behavior, linear
visco-elastic theory and time-time temperature superposition), power law, rubber elasticity and reptation). With the Tests
use of this knowledge, the link between experiments to characterize the rheological behavior (rheometry), the
material behavior during processing (e.g. crystallization), and the final mechanical properties of the polymer will be Repo
elaborated.
To finish the course the students will independently (or in small groups) carry out a numerical or experimental
research on a rheological topic. The findings together with a literature review on the topic have to be described in a
report and defended during the oral exam.

Surface technology gives an overview of surface treatments and coating techniques which are available to Self s
'engineer' a surface, so to give desired properties to a surface. Examples of desired properties of a surface which
can be obtained by surface technology are wear resistance, thermal isolation and corrosion protection. Besides
this, decorative purposes can also be a reason to apply surface treatments and coatings. The largest part of
'Surface Technology' deals with basic principles and possibilities versus limitations of coating processes and
surface treatments. The emphasis lies on modern processes like Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), Chemical
Vapour Deposition (CVD) and electroplating. Examples of basic principles that will be discussed are vacuum Tests
technology, evaporation, sputtering and basics of ionized gases. Besides this, attention will be paid to coating
materials, failure mechanisms, characterization of coatings and selection of surface treatments and coatings. Oral e

Content
Instru
A wide range of physics phenomena are described by differential equations (both partial and ordinary); these
include but are by no means limited to sound, heat, electrostatics, electrodynamics, fluid flow, elasticity, Asses
and quantum mechanics. It is clear that to design modern planes, car, bridges and other structures a
understanding of how to solve these type of equations is essential. In the modern world cheap computation power Prese
is available and hence the solution of these equations is often done using (commercial) computer codes and
methods like the Finite Volume of Finite Element method.
In this course we take a different approach and look for analytical solutions that is solutions without the aid of a Assig
computer. Armed with these 'old' techniques, we ask the questions: Why are there different methods for solving
ODEs? Which method is best for the which job; How do we know is our (commercial) numerical solution is correct? Prese
We start by introduction the idea of a partial differential equations, that is, a differential equation that contains
unknown multivariable functions and their partial derivatives; and the highly important special case the ordinary
differential equations (ODEs), which deal with functions of a single variable and their derivatives. The course will
show that solutions techniques for these equations build on each other and solving a more complex form is often Collo
facilitated by reducing to one of the simpler forms that your already know how to solve. For this reason the course
will focus on ODEs and there solution techniques, which themselves appear in many applications; for example the
flow of a liquid in an emptying barrel or the vibrations of a string.
The purpose of this course is: to become familiar with solution methods for differential equations, to know which Lectu
tools to use when, and know how to check if the solution you obtain is correct.
