Volker, A.W.F. (author), VRolijk, J.W. (author), van der Burg, D.W. (author), van der Heiden, M.S. (author), Martina, Q.E.V.N. (author)Composite materials are becoming more popular in the aerospace industry, because of their physical properties. In quality assurance and in-service inspection, there is a need for fast, non-contact, high-quality, non-destructive inspection techniques. The most common approach is to perform the inspection using water-coupled high-frequency...article 2023

Pirmana, V. (author), Alisjahbana, A.S. (author), Yusuf, A.A. (author), Hoekstra, R. (author), Tukker, A. (author)The use of fossil fuel-based vehicles may gradually be replaced by electric vehicles in the future. The trend indicates that the number of users of electric vehicles, especially electric cars, continues to increase. Indonesia is well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity as it has the world’s largest nickel reserves, an essential raw...article 2023
