(author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Igoe, David J.P. (author), Jardine, Richard J. (author)This paper describes a one-dimensional (1D) computational model for the analysis and design of laterally loaded monopile foundations for offshore wind turbine applications. The model represents the monopile as an embedded beam and specially formulated functions, referred to as soil reaction curves, are employed to represent the various...journal article 2020

Burd, Harvey J. (author), Beuckelaers, William J.A.P. (author), Byrne, Byron W. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Houlsby, Guy T. (author), Igoe, David J.P. (author), Jardine, Richard J. (author), Martin, Christopher M. (author), McAdam, Ross A. (author)The PISA Joint Industry Research Project was concerned with the development of improved design methods for monopile foundations in offshore wind applications. PISA involved large-scale pile tests in overconsolidated glacial till at Cowden, north-east England, and in dense, normally consolidated marine sand at Dunkirk, northern France. This...journal article 2020

Geerse, Carlijn (author), van Slobbe, Cher (author), van Triet, Edda (author), Simonse, LWL (author)Background: Electronic health (eHealth) services could provide a solution for monitoring the blood pressure of at-risk patients while also decreasing expensive doctor visits. However, a major barrier to their implementation is the lack of integration into organizations.<br/><br/>Objective: Our aim was to design a Care Pathway for monitoring the...journal article 2019

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), van Campenhout, Ignace (author)Although severely altered, the urban subsurface is the base of the natural system, and is crucial for a stable, green, healthy, and liveable city. It is also the technical space, the engine room of the city where vital functions such as water, electricity, sewers, and drainage are located. This hybrid state needs to be recognized when designing...journal article 2019

Knulst, A.J. (author), Kunst, Jeroen (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Visual performance and visual comfort are a combined effect of the illumination characteristics and the illuminated objects. Current surgical lighting systems have a fixed shape illumination pattern, whereas the wound and surroundings have a variable shape and characteristics. A lighting system that is able to adapt its shape and light...journal article 2019

(author)2D coil design limits the use of wireless power transfer (WPT) in many products with freeform outer shapes. In this paper, enabled by 3D printed electronics, we propose a systematic approach to design and fabricate 3D coils for WPT. Based on the circular spiral and rectangular spiral patterns, 3D receiver and transmitter coils can be...journal article 2019

de Ridder, Else F. (author), Dekkers, T. (author), Porsius, J.T. (author), Kraan, G.A. (author), Melles, M. (author)Patient-centred care is becoming more important in healthcare. The success of patient-centred care can be assessed by exploring the patient experience through a patient journey map. As the number of outpatient surgeries is increasing, it is important to reveal the specific characteristics of this type of surgery. The perioperative patient...journal article 2018

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Maring, Linda (author)The subsurface is a technical space, the “engine room of the city,” that incorporates the vital functions of water and energy supply, communication systems, sewers and drainage. Natural systems too – crucial for stable, dry, cool and nature inclusive cities – are also largely dependent on the quality of the subsoil. The subsurface is critical...journal article 2018

Bozdag, E. (author), Van den Hoven, M.J. (author)It has been argued that the Internet and social media increase the number of available viewpoints, perspectives, ideas and opinions available, leading to a very diverse pool of information. However, critics have argued that algorithms used by search engines, social networking platforms and other large online intermediaries actually decrease...journal article 2015

Paauwe, R.A. (author), Hoorn, J.F. (author), Konijn, E.A. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)In the near future, human-like social robots will become indispensable for providing support in various social tasks, in particular for healthcare (e.g., assistance, coaching). The perception of realism, in particular human-like features, can help facilitate mediated social interaction. The current study investigated the effects of form realism...journal article 2015

Nijhuis, S. (author), Jauslin, D.T. (author)This paper explores infrastructure as a type of landscape and landscape as a type of infrastructure. The hybridisation of the two concepts, landscape and infrastructure, seeks to redefine infrastructure beyond its strictly utilitarian definition, while allowing design disciplines to gain operative force in territorial transformation processes....journal article 2015

Koepsell, D.R. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Human research ethics has developed in both theory and practice mostly from experiences in medical research. Human participants, however, are used in a much broader range of research than ethics committees oversee, including both basic and applied research at technical universities. Although mandated in the United States, the United Kingdom,...journal article 2014

Saaksjarvi, M.C. (author), Hellen, K. (author), Tuunanen, T. (author)This study examines the impact of design on customer upgrading frequency, and differentiates between functional and aesthetic aspects of design. For the empirical study, we conducted an intercept survey in Beijing and Shanghai with Chinese consumers (n=170) in a retail mall setting. The survey’s results suggest that the functional design aspects...journal article 2014

Saaksjarvi, M.C. (author), Hellen, K. (author)A product’s value proposition rests on the notion that it brings value to its customers. Typically, such value is created by having novel product functionality, superior technology, or new customer benefits, but value can also be created by adhering to what is fundamentally important to customers in their lives. Focusing on customers’ happiness...journal article 2013

Ludden, G.D.S. (author), Kudrowicz, B.M. (author), Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)When information from two or more sensory modalities conflicts, this can evoke a surprise reaction as well as feelings of amusement, interest, confusion or disappointment. In concurrence to joke theory, we argue that people appreciate and enjoy appropriate incongruities that can be related back to the product, whereas they are confused by and...journal article 2012

Ludden, G.D.S. (author), Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Hekkert, P. (author)When people encounter products with visual-tactual incongruities, they are likely to be surprised because the product feels different than expected. In this paper, we investigate (1) the relationship between surprise and the overall liking of the products, (2) the emotions associated with surprise, and (3) the long-term effects of surprise. We...journal article 2012
