Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Van der Veen, C. (author), De Boer, A. (author)The shear problem is typically studied by testing small, heavily reinforced, slender beams subjected to concentrated loads, resulting in a beam shear failure, or by testing slab-column connections, resulting in a punching shear failure. Slabs subjected to concentrated loads close to supports, as occurring when truck loads are placed on slab...conference paper 2014

Sciacchitano, A. (author)Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a well-established technique for the measurement of the flow velocity in a two or three-dimensional domain. As in any other technique, PIV data is affected by measurement errors, defined as the difference between the measured velocity and its actual value, which is unknown. Aim of uncertainty quantification is...doctoral thesis 2014

Terwel, K.C. (author), Jansen, S.J.T. (author)From forensic investigation it is known that many structural failures can be attributed to human errors and organizational factors. To provide project leaders with information on the current state of factors in the building process influencing structural safety, we developed a quick assessment tool. Logistic regression was used, based on data of...conference paper 2014

Kolsteeg, J. (author), Smulders, F.E.H.M. (author)Drastic cuts in government budgets will force cultural organizations to reconsider their position by initiating internal discussions on how to avert the risk of these cuts. In order to avoid gradual withering of their proposition, cultural organizations will increasingly search for new organizational constellations with new business models....conference paper 2014

Dankers, A.G. (author)Systems in engineering such as power systems, telecommunication systems, and distributed control systems are becoming more complex and interconnected. Many of these systems are part of the foundation of modern society and their seamless operation is paramount. However, the increasing complexity and size of the systems poses real engineering...doctoral thesis 2014

Farshbaf Zinati, F. (author)Recent developments in the deployment of distributed fiber-optic sensing systems in horizontal wells carry the promise to lead to a new, cheap and reliable way of monitoring production and reservoir performance. Practical applicability of distributed pressure sensing for quantitative inflow detection will strongly depend on the specifications of...doctoral thesis 2014

Rongwiriyaphanich, S. (author)Previous experiences have shown that the implementation of planning policy does not always lead to the originally intended territorial management outcomes. This issue is particularly crucial when policy ideas, institutions, models and programmes are transferred into places with different cultural settings without adaptations (Knieling and...doctoral thesis 2014

Smulders, F.E.H.M. (author), Dorst, K. (author), Vermaas, P.E. (author)In this contribution design thinking is taken as a transfer of design methods from product development to other domains. It is argued that the success of this transfer depends on the organisational context offered to design thinking in these other domains. We describe the application of design methods in product development and in two new...conference paper 2014

Yang, J. (author), Hauff, C. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Houben, G.J.P.M. (author)Collaborative Question Answering (cQA) platforms are a very popular repository of crowd-generated knowledge. By formulating questions, users express needs that other members of the cQA community try to collaboratively satisfy. Poorly formulated questions are less likely to receive useful responses, thus hindering the overall knowledge generation...conference paper 2014

Stompff, G. (author), Smulders, F.E.H.M. (author)In product development, representations of the intended product are needed to enable specialists to learn about what they develop together. A variety of representations is deployed, ranging from textual documents like requirements, up to integrated prototypes. The difference between these representations is the fidelity: the degree to which a...conference paper 2014

Ling, Y. (author)Experiencing anxiety is essential for virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) to be effective in curing patients suffering from anxiety disorders. However, some patients drop out in VRET due to the lack of feeling anxiety. Presence - which refers to the feeling of being in the virtual environment - has been considered an important mechanism that...doctoral thesis 2014

The process of (a) detecting the failure, (b) communicating it to the controller and (c) recomputing the new shortest paths may result...conference paper 2014

Chiba, T. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author), Takahashi, S. (author)We formulate a theory of the ac spin Hall magnetoresistance in a bilayer system consisting of a magnetic insulator such as yttrium iron garnet and a heavy metal such as platinum. We derive expressions for the dc voltage generation based on the drift-diffusion spin model and quantum mechanical boundary condition at the interface that reveal a...journal article 2014

Qu, C. (author)Virtual humans are often designed to replace real humans in virtual reality applications for e.g., psychotherapy, education and entertainment. In general, applications with virtual humans are created for modifying a person's knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, emotions or behaviors. Reaching these intended goals, however, strongly depends on being...doctoral thesis 2014

Van der Ent, R.J. (author)Where does precipitation come from? It is not easy to answer this question because of the complex and energy-intensive processes that bring moisture to a certain location and cause moisture to precipitate highly heterogeneously in space and variable over time. Part of the precipitation comes from so-called “moisture recycling”, which is moisture...doctoral thesis 2014

Maessen, D.C. (author)The thesis deals with the relative navigation between two small formation flying spacecraft. The inter-satellite distance is measured using locally generated radiofrequency ranging signals. Design considerations for the spacecraft and the relative navigation system are discussed as well as the estimation of the relative state. The influence of...doctoral thesis 2014
