Joint fact-finding in practice: Review of a collaborative approach to climate-ready infrastructure in Rotterdam

Joint fact-finding has been advanced as a method for helping stakeholders grappling with technically intensive policy and planning challenges to collaboratively engage in research and arrive at shared sets of facts to inform their decision-making. This paper introduces joint fact-finding and considers its application in the context of...

Modelling of welding distortion; the influence of clamping and sequencing

In past decades, mitigation methods have been developed to reduce welding distortion using different approaches such as low-stress no distortion welding with additional cooling, pre-deformation, thermal tensioning, or by using optimized welding sequences. One parameter that affects the distortion, wich is not explicitly considered in most...
