Tod, G. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Malburet, F (author), Gomand, J (author), Barre, PJ (author)The paper reassesses the mechanism of biodynamical feedthrough coupling to helicopter body motion in lateral-roll helicopter tasks. An analytical bio-aeroelastic pilot–vehicle model is first developed and tested for various pilot’s neuromuscular adaptions in the lateral/roll axis helicopter tasks. The results demonstrate that pilot can...journal article 2016

Ou, X. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to study the effects of different orientation relationships between fcc and bcc phases on the bcc/fcc interfacial propagation in pure iron systems at 300 K. Three semi-coherent bcc/fcc interfaces have been investigated. In all the cases, results show that growth of the bcc phase starts in the areas...journal article 2016

Schmieden, D.T. (author), Meyer, A.S. (author), Aubin-Tam, M.E. (author)Nacre (mother of pearl) is an attractive model for the development of new materials. Its sheet structure of alternating layers of calcium carbonate and an organic matrix confers it highly desirable properties such as high toughness and strength. In this study, we produce a nacre-inspired composite material using only bacterially-produced...journal article 2016

Galimberti, G. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Guagliano, M. (author), Previtali, B. (author), Verlinden, J.C. (author)This study is a precursor to gaining a deeper understanding of how each parameter of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) process influences the aesthetic properties of 3D printed products. Little research has been conducted on this specific aspect of AM. Using insights from the work presented in this paper, we intend to develop design support tools...conference paper 2016

Liu, H. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Hu, C. (author), Wang, Wen (author)Management of large hydrologic datasets including storage, structuring, indexing and query is one of the crucial challenges in the era of big data. This research originates from a specific data query problem: time series extraction at specific locations takes a long time when a large multidimensional dataset is stored in non-chunked NetCDF...journal article 2016

McGuire, K.N. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), Remes, B.D.W. (author), Tuyls, K. (author), Kappen, H. (author)Autonomous flight of pocket drones is challenging due to the severe limitations on on-board energy, sensing, and processing power. However, tiny drones have great potential as their small size allows maneuvering through narrow spaces while their small weight provides significant safety advantages. This paper presents a computationally efficient...conference paper 2016

Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)A new monolithic fully compliant gravity balancer is designed with help of a design approach based on shape optimization. The balancer consists of one single clamped-clamped complex-shaped beam on which a weight is attached. The beam is modeled as a planar isogeometric Bernoulli beam. The goal function of the optimization consists of an...journal article 2016

Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Fil, Alison (author), Prabhu, Jaideep (author)Most of the world's poor live in developing markets and face unmet needs in core areas such as education, health, energy, sanitation and financial services. This offers businesses a vast opportunity for growth as these economies emerge from low-income to middle-income status. Social businesses in particular address a social need while generating...journal article 2016

Abspoel, R. (author)In a material economy driven plate girder design, the lever arm between the flanges will increase. This leads to higher stiffness and bending moment resistance, but also to an in-crease of the web slenderness. This means that high strength steels can be used leading to a large reduction of the steel consumption. However, Eurocode 3 [3] restricts...conference paper 2016
