Mikroniek September 2026:
Defence Technology
The September issue of Mikroniek is devoted to the theme of Defence Technology. The main theme article presents the challenges of radar system development, requiring quick multidisciplinary design analysis cycles where dynamic shock loads tend to dominate the design.

Young DSPE will organize the next edition on September 22th. Cafe Eureka loves to show you how interesting technical careers develop. Many young engineers launch their careers driven by a passion for technology. They immerse themselves in a specific field, become specialists, and learn to solve complex technical problems. However, as systems grow larger, smarter, and more multidisciplinary, the nature of the challenges shifts. Technical expertise alone is no longer sufficient. This lecture outlines the personal journey from specialist to systems thinker, architect, and ultimately, leader within the high-tech industry.

DSPE Knowledgeday theme: AI & (mechanical) design
|
On November 5th we are organizing a knowledgeday at Fontys for members of DSPE to inform them about the (im-) possibilities of applying AI in mechanical- and system design. The program will combine three different views and a number of practical use cases.
|
- Julien Mailfert and Arnaud Hubaux from ASML: Theme: “AI helping Engineering“
- Prof. dr. Theo Hofman TU/e. Theme: AUTOMATING INNOVATION: Automation-in-design through computational synthesis
- Representative from a system supplier, t.b.d.

Structure-preserving model reduction
|
|
High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design. Read more
