Dynamic Planning for Flexible Port Infrastructure after Panama Canal Expansion: A Real Case Study

This paper presents a study carried out to first assess the impact of the Panama Canal expansion (PCE) on selected Caribbean ports, and thereafter, to examine how the ports can adapt in order to seize new opportunities created by the expansion. An applied case of long-term dynamic planning and flexibility in engineering design is presented for a...

Adaptive wing: Investigations of passive wing technologies for loads reduction in the cleansky smart fixed wing aircraft (SFWA) project

In the work package “Adaptive Wing” in the Clean-Sky “Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft” (SFWA) project, design processes and solutions for aircraft wings have been created, giving optimal response with respect to loads, comfort and performance by the introduction of passive and active concepts. Central activity of the work was the design and...
