In a biomechanical engineering study, a pressure-activated, colour-changing, and flexible material has been developed, stemming from an initial problem application. However, a technical innovation can transcend its original intent, thereby gaining value for engineers or technical managers. The problem is that there is a lack of guidance in...

Performance-driven generative design has been commonly used in engineering applications. In addition to performance metrics, aesthetics play an important role in the acceptance of generatively designed forms. When generating these shapes using generative programs, it is not clear in advance what the outcome will be, and thereby what they will...

Offshore Floating Wind Energy (OFWE) presents a promising yet underdeveloped sector due to its higher costs and engineering complexities compared to fixed-bottom systems. Unlike fixed-bottom systems, OFWE isn't restricted by water depth, offering over four times more ocean area for deployment. This flexibility allows for positioning wind farms...

Considering that the IoT is giving rise to new sensing infrastructures with stringent requirements, we are posed with new trade-offs. On one hand, there is a need to develop systems that have a low cost, complexity, and ecological footprint, while being privacy-aware. On the other hand, despite these constraints, there is a need to still...

Microbial drinking water quality is of great importance to human health. Drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) are designed as the final barriers for delivering and maintaining the biosafety of drinking water. Though the drinking water produced is usually safe and clean, it is common that the water quality deteriorates during the...

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, offers a new paradigm for the way functional products are designed, manufactured, and assembled. Its additive nature provides the ability to create complex-shaped parts, without an increase in production time or costs, which would be difficult to produce with conventional manufacturing. In addition,...

Climate change is one of the most dangerous and simultaneously most complex threats humanity has ever faced. The key response to this threat has been an unprecedented strategic shift in the energy sector, known as the<i> energy transition</i>. Electricity powers the modern world and is at the very centre of the energy transition. The shift to...
