Aerostructural Assessment Approach of a Transonic Morphing Wing in 3DExperience

The implementation of morphing wings technology has the potential to significantly improve aircraft performance. However, due to the complex interplay between aerodynamics and structural integrity, it requires an aerostructural analysis. 3DExperience by Dassault Systèmes is a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) - based software with integrated...

Design of a flood bypass tunnel for Valkenburg aan de Geul: Operation and hydraulic design to reduce the risk of flooding

Between July 12 and 15, 2021, extreme rainfall in Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands caused severe flooding. The total damage in the Netherlands is estimated to be between € 350 and € 600 million, with Valkenburg aan de Geul suffering the most damage.

Protecting the south-west of the Netherlands against flood using an adaptive design approach

The Netherlands is world famous when it comes to coastal defence. The world is always changing, therefore the Netherlands, together with many countries, has to adapt constantly to the climate. This constant change means that in particular the coastline of the Netherlands requires extra attention because of the uncertainty of sea level rise. The...

Digital Voting Pass: One step towards the digitalization of the entire voting process
