van de Ven, E.A. (author), Hooijkamp, E.C. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), van Keulen, A. (author)Designing transient thermal mechanical systems is a challenging task. Material can have many different functions: it can provide heat capacity, heat conduction, mechanical stiffness or even function as an actuator. Topology optimization can provide the engineer with valuable insight on such a problem. One of the most popular topology...conference paper 2015

Picelli, R. (author), Vicente, W.M. (author), Pavanello, R. (author), van Keulen, A. (author)This article presents an evolutionary topology optimization method for mean compliance minimization of structures under design-dependent viscous fluid flow loads. The structural domain is governed by the elasticity equation and the fluid by the incompressible Stokes flow equations. When the modelling of a system consists in the interaction of...conference paper 2015

Papadonikolaki, E. (author), Vrijhoef, R. (author), Wamelink, J.W.F. (author)This paper explored the status of BIM adoption in construction Supply Chains (SC). The benefits of BIM are found from design management, to virtual construction and site management. The study is structured upon the assumption that BIM not only supports intra-firm collaboration, but also improves inter-firm collaboration in projects with SC...conference paper 2015

Papadonikolaki, E. (author), Vrijhoef, R. (author), Wamelink, J.W.F. (author)This paper proposes a model to integrate the construction Supply Chain (SC) through Building Information Modelling (BIM). The various information flows in the construction SC are vague. BIM is an aspiring integrator of information that could potentially improve such multi-disciplinary information flows. The paper presents a method to bridge...conference paper 2015

Sciacchitano, A. (author), Caridi, Giuseppe Carlo Alp (author), Scarano, F. (author)Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in cycling as in many other speed sports. Aerodynamic investigation is required primarily for two reasons:<br/><br/>1. Optimization of the athletes' posture and equipment geometry (e.g. bicycle frame, wheels, helmet) to minimize the aerodynamic drag, thus achieving higher velocity;<br/>2. Enhancement of the...journal article 2015

(author)The fluvial river is a kind of open system that can interact with its outside environments and give response to disturbance from outside on the earth. It can adjust itself to the disturbances outside the system and reflects new characteristics in the process of reaching a new equilibrium.

(author)The concept of PPP-RTK is to achieve integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) at a single GNSS user by providing network-derived satellite phase biases (SPBs) in addition to the standard precise point positioning (PPP) corrections. These corrections enable recovering integerness of user ambiguities, thereby recovering the full capability of the...conference paper 2015
