Methods have been developed to predict how hydrodynamic loads acting on nearly saturated porous media are transmitted to the subsoil. In line with the effective stress principle of Terzaghi, these methods apply the boundary conditions that the effective stresses at the surface of a porous medium are zero, and that the pore water pressures...

In the emerging research field of bioelectronic medicine, it has been indicated that neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve (VN) has the potential to treat various conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and autoimmune diseases. In order to reduce side effects, as well as to increase the effectiveness of the delivered therapy, sub-fascicle...

In regions with a temperate climate, a well-maintained grass sod on a clay layer is considered a reliable protection for dams and dikes. In the Living Lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder, on the left bank of the Scheldt river straddling the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, a series of 27 overflow tests with a purpose-built overflow generator...

This document reports details the development of a solid stool detection system. On behalf of Momo Medical - a TU Delft-based startup company - a device for detecting defecates by elderly people has been designed. The goal of the detection system is to detect solid stools by elderly patients wearing a diaper and to notify the nurses in a nursing...

Distribution centres are becoming more and more relevant for spatial planning, due to their rapidly increasing size and number. There is little literature, however, that provides a generalized analysis of the size and functional attributes of distribution centres, and none that discusses the relationships between these attributes. Our aim is to...

This paper studies the factors that drive distribution structure design (DSD), which includes the spatial layout of distribution channels and location choice of logistics facilities. We build on a generic framework from existing literature, which we validate and elaborate using interviews among industry practitioners. Empirical evidence was...

An accurate prediction of the breach widening rate after the onset of a levee failure is essential for flood risk assessments. Current state-of-the-art analytical breach growth relations are empirical in nature. The large variety in loading conditions, levee design, and levee construction material, combined with the limited amount of accurate...

When soil surfaces are exposed to high shear stresses induced by high-velocity water flows, they erode. Erosion consists of the detachment, entrainment and transport of soil particles. When exposed to high shear stresses the process of soil detachment is no longer given by the pick-up of individual particles but by the continuous shear failure...

Apart from the soil erodibility parameter, the critical shear stress is the most important parameter in predicting erosion rates. On the basis of experiments several empirical formulas have already been de-veloped which relate the critical shear stress to soil properties. Based on these findings and supported by new large scale experiments, a...

The design of a spatial distribution structure is of strategic importance for companies, to meet required customer service levels and to keep logistics costs as low as possible. Spatial distribution structure decisions concern distribution channel layout–i.e. the spatial layout of the transport and storage system–as well as distribution...

Understanding levee failures can be significantly improved by analysing historical failures, experiments and performance observations. Individual efforts have been undertaken to document flood defence failures but no systematically gathered large scale, open access dataset is currently available for thorough scientific research. Here, we...

A high quality safety assessment of levee systems requires a good prediction of when the grass cover of levees fail. Current methods relate the onset of failure to the peak in momentum or energy of the flow, instead of the peak in momentum transfer or energy transfer to the grass cover. The critical velocity necessary in the current methods...

In breaching of levees, sediment erosion is induced by high flow velocities. Due to the often continuously acceler-ating flow, no equilibrium transport conditions are reached. The erosion rate is often described by the erosion equation which linearly relates the erosion rate to the excess shear stress by means of a soil erodibility coefficient....

Consumenten stellen steeds hogere eisen aan de levering van producten. Alleen op tijd leveren is niet meer voldoende. Er wordt steeds meer flexibiliteit verwacht, onder meer in bezorglocatie en aflevermoment. Vandaag besteld is vandaag of morgen in huis. Veel bedrijven worstelen met de vraag hoe zij het distributienetwerk aan moeten passen om...

Voor het transport van goederen naar de klant maken bedrijven gebruik van een ruimtelijk distributienetwerk. Een ruimtelijk distributienetwerk bestaat uit twee onderdelen: de grondvorm (het ontwerp van het transport- en opslagsysteem tussen productie en de markt) en de locatie van distributiecentra. De inrichting van een distributienetwerk wordt...

Distribution structures, as studied in this paper, involve the spatial layout of the freight transport and storage system used to move goods between production and consumption locations. Decisions on this layout are important to companies as they allow them to balance customer service levels and logistics costs. Until now there has been very...

During infiltration of water in soil, menisci form at the interface of water, grains, and air in the pores, inducing suction due to surface tension. Due to the random distribution of interconnected pores of different sizes, characteristic of porous media, differences in suction and friction inside pores give a diffusing infiltration front. The...
