Dewulf, K.R. (author)Dealing with sustainability in the fuzzy front end of innovation is complex and often hard. There are a number of tools available to guide designers, engineers and managers in the design process after the specifications of the product or service are already set, but methods supporting goal finding for sustainable innovations are rare (Hassi et...conference paper 2010

Idelsohn, S.R. (author), Onate, E. (author), Marti, J. (author), Celigueta, M.A. (author), Limache, A. (author)We present a general formulation for analysis of fluid-structure interaction problems using the particle finite element method (PFEM). The key feature of the PFEM is the use of an updated Lagrangian description to model the motion of nodes (particles) in both the fluid and the structure domains. Nodes are viewed as material points (called...conference paper 2006

Kim, I.-C. (author), Kaihatu, J.M. (author)As surface waves propagate from deep water toward shallow coastal areas, their ensuing transformation is due to the influence of bathymetry and several important phenomena, such as refraction, shoaling ,and nonlinear effects. Nonlinear wave models based on the classical Boussinesq equation(Peregrine, 1967)have evidenced good performance in...conference paper 2021

Mader, Mario (author), Matijević, Hrvoje (author), Roić, Miodrag (author)Weak or not existing linkage of official registers in Republic of Croatia (real estates, rights, persons etc.) and data redundancy as an inevitable outcome of such a state are the cause of various unwanted consequences for the relevant public authorities, but also for citizens and companies as the end-users of such data. Linking the registers,...conference paper 2013

Ooi, K.E.B. (author), Low, L.S.A. (author), Lech, M. (author), Allen, N. (author)This study investigates the possibility of using facial images to determine if a non-depressed person is likely to develop clinical depression within the next 1-2 years. The prediction method uses a typical classification approach of training and testing. Class models were determined using image data from adolescents who were either at risk or...conference paper 2011

Christiaens, J. (author), Wauters, T. (author), Vanden Berghe, G. (author), De Wispelaere, A. (author)DV & O is responsible for prisoner transportation in The Netherlands. The organization needs to solve a vehicle routing problem with time windows [2], where prisoners have to be picked up and delivered while respecting capacity and safety constraints. A daily demand of about 700 prisoner transportations yields a very complex combinatorial...conference paper 2013

Vidinejevs, S. (author), Aniskevich, A. (author)Creation of an ideal self-healing polymer composite material with durable performance could become an alternative to traditional improvement of lightweight constructions. A vascular strategy of the self-healing of the epoxy materials is based on healing agent (HA) delivery to the damage via system of channels formed in the material. The aim of...conference paper 2013

Wilkinson, S. (author), Hanna, S. (author), Hesselgren, L. (author), Mueller, V. (author)A novel approach is presented to predict wind pressure on tall buildings for early-stage generative design exploration and optimisation. The method provides instantaneous surface pressure data, reducing performance feedback time whilst maintaining accuracy. This is achieved through the use of a machine learning algorithm trained on procedurally...conference paper 2013

Poelman, W. (author)Workshop 4. Session 4.1: Design and modernity Abstract: Within the discipline of industrial design engineering dfx is a common abbreviation for design for x, in which the x refers to several goals like sustainability (dfs), assembly (dfa), disabled (dfd), etcetera. As more industrial design engineers are employed within the Faculty for...conference paper 2005

Thomsen, André (author)Obsolescence, defined as the process of declining performance of buildings, is a serious threat for the value, the usefulness and the life span of built properties. Thomsen and van der Flier (2011) developed a model in which obsolescence is categorised on the basis of two distinctions, i.e. between endogenous and exogenous cause-effect...conference paper 2017

Greaves, D.M. (author)This work involves the application of adaptive hierarchical grids to free surface Navier-Stokes simulation of viscous waves in a stationary tank and their interaction with a cylinder. Adapting quadtree grids are combined with a volume of fluid (VoF) approach, in which a high resolution interface capturing scheme is used for advection of the...conference paper 2006

Gruneberg, S. (author), Murdoch, I. (author)Many authorities have supported the concept of integrated working or partnering. They claim a number of advantages of partnering such as greater co-operation, cost savings, timely completion of projects and improved quality but there remain a number of difficulties both at a theoretical and practical level. These difficulties manifest themselves...conference paper 2011

Yakovenko, S.N. (author), Chang, K.C. (author)In the present study, the surface tension is introduced as volume forces according to the continuum surface force (CSF) model [1] using the surface tension coefficient and the mollified volume fraction (color) function. The latter can be taken in the first approximation as the volume fraction defined numerically due to (possible) smoothing of...conference paper 2006

Fournier, A. (author)We present a Fourier-spectral element approximation of electromagnetic induction (and magnetohydrodynamics) in a domain bounded by a spherical interface. The electromagnetic problem is cast in terms of electromagnetic potentials, the uniqueness of which is enforced by the choice of Coulomb's gauge. A PN - PN-2 approach ensures the solenoidal...conference paper 2006

For one week, we brought together 14 experienced Open Science educators in Hanover to answer a number of questions: What works, what doesn’t? How can you make the most of limited resources? With their help, we are...conference paper 2018
