For their research, professors, PhD- and master-students, and postdocs use our high-quality Macro Mechanics Lab, that is part of the department of Engineering Structures. Our researchers are at the forefront of developing entirely new, sustainable materials, structures, and infrastructures. Applications range from offshore wind farms and bridges to road construction and railways. As a lab technician at TU Delft, you enable their research with unique setups and expert guidance and advice.
The varied and ever-evolving research demands custom-made setups with the most advanced equipment. Setups can be as large as a complete house wall, for experiments focused on earthquakes in Groningen. And what about testing forces on anchor cables for offshore platforms? Within such multidisciplinary projects, you take the lead in the measurement, control, and control technology of the setups. Based on the needs of the researchers, you design, build, and test the setups. In complex experiments and safety risks, you also conduct experiments in collaboration with the researcher. Additionally, you instruct users on the safe use and operation of the setups and mentor master-students.
Your home base is the internationally diverse and multidisciplinary team of 14 lab technicians. In our team, you play an important role in our shared goal: optimizing the Macro Mechanics Lab with the latest technology for high-quality and safe research. Naturally, you maintain and update your measuring equipment and software. You also learn all about the latest techniques and apply them in your projects. Our disciplines are complementary, and we learn a lot from each other by regularly exchanging knowledge and ideas. You willl find an open, informal atmosphere with us and get a lot of space and flexibility for your education and development. We help each other with the challenges that come with working with the latest technologies. And we appreciate your initiatives!
The Engineering Structures department focuses on developing resilient, smart, and sustainable structures and infrastructure. Our goal is to meet societal demands in transport, energy transition, and sustainable reuse of structures and materials. Research themes include the dynamics of structures, material mechanics related to climate change, modeling and design of railway systems, multiscale modeling of road materials and structures, material reuse, construction and component assessment methods, smart monitoring techniques, design methods, replacement and renovation of civil infrastructure, and development of new materials and maintenance techniques. Our unique Macro Mechanics Laboratory facilities support large-scale tests, monitoring, and modeling of structures to facilitate the implementation of innovations. The department delivers both groundbreaking research and high-quality education for bachelor's and master's students. As a team, we represent various backgrounds, skills, and viewpoints. We promote an inclusive culture because our combined identities, attitudes, and ambitions broaden our perspective and make us stronger.
