Machines and vehicles with adaptive noise and vibration control; a visionary concept or a glimpse into the future?   Stefan Janssen focuses his research on bringing #piezoelectric #metamaterials to life for adaptive noise and vibration control, targeting frequency-shifting tonal components that are difficult to address with traditional solutions. In his work, insert injection moulding is explored to mass-manufacture these metamaterials robustly. Additionally, by developing an efficient unit-cell based design framework, new adaptive metamaterial concepts can be realized and demonstrated, showcasing their full potential and ultimately reducing the gap towards industrial adoption.

Thrilled to share a milestone that's been a long time coming: I've completed my PhD in Manufacturing Engineering and Management with a focus on Optimisation and Characterisation of Lattice Structures for Functional Requirements! 🎓🏭 I delved into understanding how different factors influence the design of lattice structures, and impact the strength and performance of these structures. By experimenting with variations within specific ranges, I uncovered that all these factors play a significant role in determining how sturdy these lattice structures are. This knowledge is extremely useful because it helps us create designs that are both strong and efficient in terms of material use. These optimised designs can have a real impact - like making implants for bone regeneration more effective or creating better battery trays for vehicles.💡 This wouldn't have been possible without the support from Sami Kara, for his unwavering guidance, support, and invaluable expertise throughout this journey. His mentorship has been instrumental in shaping my research and career. I'm excited about the possibilities this research opens up for creating stronger and more efficient structures for a variety of purposes. 🌟 #PhD #Manufacturing #UNSW

The European manufacturing industry, crucial for economic competitiveness, faces challenges pushing the limits of traditional materials, particularly in high-tech sectors like lithography and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), where the limits of conventional materials come into sight. Metamaterials, built up from rationally, pre-designed architected substructures, hold the promise to outperform conventional materials and redefine the boundaries of industrial design practices, which can drive the much-needed transformational changes in European manufacturing industry. To help address this issue, the METRAMAT program has received MSCA funding and there’s an open call for 10 PhD positions. TU/e researcher Varvara Kouznetsova coordinates this program. #MEMS #metamaterials #marieskłodowskacurie #callforphdpositions https://lnkd.in/e3qPfJ84

At the Smart Systems Lab, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of technology. Our latest research, conducted by the talented Lukas Zehner under the supervision of Wallace Moreira Bessa and Salma Salimi, explores innovative ways to control machines using hand movements. 💡 What if you could control devices just by moving your hand? 💡 In this research, a cutting-edge method was developed to recognize hand motions by analyzing electrical signals from muscles using machine learning algorithms. This approach eliminates the need for cumbersome cameras and sensors, making it more convenient and user-friendly. 🔍 Key Highlights:   * Utilized EMG sensors to record electrical signals from hand and forearm muscles.   * Employed IMU sensors to capture hand acceleration and rotation.   * Achieved up to 82% accuracy in predicting hand motions with AI models. This groundbreaking research not only enhances the accuracy of hand motion recognition but also opens new avenues for intuitive machine and robot control. The work was carried out at the Smart Systems Lab of the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Technology, University of Turku, Finland. 🔗 Learn more about Lukas Zehner’s Master’s thesis and this innovative approach: https://lnkd.in/dEKp_Zfg Mechanical Engineering at the University of Turku, Teknillinen tiedekunta – Faculty of Technology (University of Turku), Turun yliopisto - University of Turku
