Self-healing short-circuits in organic light-emitting diodes and solar cells

Organic materials open the way for large-scale applications of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED) and solar cells (OPV). These materials can be large-scale processed using printing and coating on rigid and flexible substrates. The resulting devices can therefore be fabricated at low cost for various applications. Production yields suffer,...

A coupled numerical solution to the shallow water-Hirano model (abstract)

Modelling the morphodynamic evolution of rivers due to flow-driven sediment transport requires the adoption of a flow model, such as the shallow water equations, and a conservation equation for sediment mass (the Exner equation). When dealing with mixtures of grain sizes, one can account for the interaction among sediment transport, bed level...

New laboratory techniques to determine the grain size distribution of a sandgravel bed surface and substrate (abstract)

Grain size changes in a river dominated by mixed sediment are the outcome of sedimentary grain sizeselective processes. Progress in the measurement techniques that define the spatial and temporal variation in grain size is necessary to provide new insights in this field. Techniques as image analysis and acoustic methods have emerged in the last...

Creating the integral engineer: Combining development education, sustainability, entrepreneurship and technology at Delft University of Technology

A modern engineer is more than a technical specialist. Training an integral engineer requires education in non-technical skills, including social and ethical aspects. Therefore, Delft University of Technology (DUT) introduced sustainable development and entrepreneurship into its bachelor and master programs. The university of the future is...

The effect of river dunes on the morphodynamic response to overloading

A new two-layer model for conservation of mixed sediment for bedform-dominated condi-tions is proposed. There is a need for such a new bedlayer-type sediment conservation model, as (i) the commonly applied Hirano (1971) model does not account for the effects of bedform stochastics and ver-tical sorting on bed level changes, (ii) the Ribberink...

Bending Test of a Variable-Stiffness Fiber-Reinforced Composite Cylinder

Two carbon-fiber-reinforced composite cylinders were tested in bending. One cylinder, the baseline cylinder, consisted of 0º, 90º and ±45º plies, whereas the other cylinder, called the variable-stiffness cylinder, contained plies with fiber orientations that varied in the circumferential direction, which caused a variation in laminate stiffness....

One Thousand Flowers in Delft: A Bottom-up approach to improve teaching international students

Delft University of Technology (DUT) is becoming more and more an international community. Since lectures on master level are all conducted in English, the numbers of students from foreign countries attending DUT are rising and international cooperation within educational projects is a necessity. To prepare educators for the continuing...
