Doorn, N. (author)In today's society, safety from flooding is no longer the sole responsibility of the central government. In recent decades, we have witnessed a governance turn in flood risk management, in which private parties as well as regional and local governmental bodies have a role to play. As a result, the question of how to distribute the...journal article 2016

Drop, F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)The human controller (HC) can greatly improve target-tracking performance by utilizing a feedforward operation on the target signal, in addition to a feedback response. System identification methods are used to determine the correct HC model structure: purely feedback or a combined feedforward/feedback model. In this paper, we investigate three...journal article 2016

Wang, Xia (author), Ren, Hong (author), Cai, Weiguang (author), Liu, Y. (author), Luo, Lizi (author)Green building (GB) has been actively promoted in many countries, but it has not become the mainstream in Chinese construction industry due to various reasons. This paper aims to investigate the major driving factors for the development of GB with reference of the Chinese construction market. Twenty-one factors influencing the development of...journal article 2016

Palardy, G. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author)This paper presents an overview of the latest research on ultrasonic welding of composites performed at the Delft University of Technology. Firstly, we showed that for thermoplastic composites, a simple flat energy director shape, made of a loose film of neat resin, can be used to produce welds of high quality. Furthermore, for single lap...conference paper 2016

Aniche, Maurício (author), Treude, Christoph (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author), van Deursen, A. (author), Gerosa, Marco Aurélio (author)Code metric analysis is a well-known approach for assessing the quality of a software system. However, current tools and techniques do not take the system architecture (e.g., MVC, Android) into account. This means that all classes are assessed similarly, regardless of their specific responsibilities. In this paper, we propose SATT (Software...conference paper 2016

Aniche, Maurício (author), Bavota, Gabriele (author), Treude, Christoph (author), van Deursen, A. (author), Gerosa, Marco Aurélio (author)Code smells are symptoms of poor design and implementation choices that may hinder code comprehension, and possibly increase change-and defect-proneness. A vast catalogue of smells has been defined in the literature, and it includes smells that can be found in any kind of system (e.g., God Classes), regardless of their architecture. On the other...conference paper 2016

Tu, Q. (author), de Haan, J. (author), Boelhouwer, P.J. (author)House price modeling has been frequently used to investigate the dynamics of housing markets, especially competitive markets; yet less attention has been given to markets that have experienced considerable interventions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate a mismatch between conventional house price models and the case of the Netherlands...journal article 2016

Lakerveld, P.R. (author), Damveld, H.J. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van der El, K. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper investigates the importance of yaw and sway motion cues in curve driving simulation. While such motion cues are known to enhance simulation realism, their function in supporting realistic driver behavior in simulators is still largely unknown. A human-in-the-loop curve driving experiment was performed in the SIMONA Research Simulator...journal article 2016

Drop, F.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author), de Vries, R. (author)In the manual control of a dynamic system, the human controller (HC) is often required to follow a visible and predictable reference path. Using the predictable aspect of a reference signal, through applying feedforward control, the HC can significantly improve performance as compared to a purely feedback control strategy. A proper definition of...journal article 2016

Eleftheroglou, N. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Loutas, T. (author)This study focused on the in-situ fatigue damage assessment of open-hole carbon/epoxy coupons using Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques. Constant amplitude fatigue tests were performed and the main objective was to investigate the damage process, the degradation process of the fatigue modules and to identify...conference paper 2016

de Jong, Stephan J. (author), Beelaerts van Blokland, W.W.A. (author)Purpose – Implementation of lean manufacturing is currently performed in the production industry; however, for the airline maintenance service industry, it is still in its infancy. Indicators such as work in process, cycle time, on-time performance and inventory are useful indicators to measure lean implementation; however, a financial...journal article 2016

Pool, D.M. (author), Zaal, P.M.T. (author)This paper presents a cybernetic approach to assess the training of manual control skills in simulators. The approach uses multi-channel pilot models that separate pilots’ responses to visual and motion stimuli. This allows for a quantitative analysis of pilots’ use of visual and motion cues for manual aircraft control, as well as the evolution...journal article 2016

Kudarova, A. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author)Mesoscopic-scale heterogeneities in porous media cause attenuation and dispersion at seismic frequencies. Effective models are often used to account for this. We have developed a new effective poroelastic model for finely layered media, and we evaluated its impact focusing on the angledependent attenuation behavior. To enable this, an exact...journal article 2016

Noorlandt, R.P. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author)The geometry of the contact between a vibrator and the earth underneath influences the dynamics of the vibrator. Although a vibrator might appear to be well-coupled with the earth on a macroscale, perfect coupling certainly does not occur on the microscale. With the aid of contact mechanical modeling and concepts, it can be shown that this lack...journal article 2016
