Predictive Braking Control with Hybrid Actuators
(2017)
Besides the environmental benefits, electric powertrains offer the potential to improve braking performance by exploiting the fast response of the electric motor. A particularly challenging control task for such systems ...
Instrumented gait analysis in osteoarthritis: From lab towards ambulatory systems
(2019)
Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive disease characterized by the degeneration of articular cartilage of the knee joint. To understand the causes and effects of pathological gait symptoms and to optimize intervention ...
Development and Validation of a Mobile Gait Analysis System Providing Clinically Relevant Target Parameters in Parkinson’s Disease
(2018)
In 1817 James Parkinson described in his Essay on the Shaking Palsy that impaired gait is one of the most important symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD): "Walking becomes a task which cannot be performed without considerable ...
Quantitative Estimation of Total Body Water Loss During Physical Exercise
(2018)
Prolonged physical exercise is often accompanied by mild to severe dehydration. Marathon runners, as an extreme example, can lose up to 14 % of their total body water (TBW) during races in warm environments. This excess ...
Characterization of Inorganic Semiconductors for Solar Energy Conversion and their Stability in Aqueous Media
(2016)
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a well-established semiconductor in opto-electronic applications. It has a wide band gap of 3.4 eV and is thus excitable in the near-UV range. A promising application of GaN is its use as a ...
Mobile Gait Analysis: From Prototype towards Clinical Grade Wearable
(2019)
The aim of this thesis is to move mobile gait analysis systems based on inertial sensing closer towards clinical grade wearable devices. Such devices are envisioned to be used in everyday clinical practice for objective ...
Solid Solution Strengthening and Difusion in Nickel- and Cobalt-based Superalloys
(2016)
Nickel and cobalt-based superalloys with a γ-γ' microstructure are known for their excellent creep resistance at high temperatures. Their microstructure is engineered using different alloying elements, that partition either ...
Learning Code Transformations from Repositories
(2018)
Library updates, program errors, and maintenance tasks in general force developers to apply the same code change to different locations within their projects. If the locations are very different to each other, it is very ...
Additive Manufacturing by Metal Fused Filament Fabrication
(2023)
Metal fused filament fabrication (MF3) with metal-filled filaments is an indirect process that uses polymeric binders for additive shaping of green bodies. These are processed into solid metal parts after debinding and ...
Simulation of Evaporation Phenomena in Selective Electron Beam Melting
(2018)
Selective electron beam melting (SEBM) is a promising additive manufacturing process in which metal powder is melted by a focused electron beam. Industrial application of SEBM is still hindered by a number of factors, ...
Elementary Mechanisms During the Early Stages of Scale Formation on Single Crystalline Co- and Ni-base Superalloys at High Temperatures
(2019)
Excellent resistance against oxide scale formation is essential for the application of newly designed alloys at high temperatures. Therefore, the detailed understanding of oxidation processes is crucial for the successful ...
