In recent times, soft matter has gained significant interest among researchers in the fields of biomechanics and biomedicine, especially in areas like soft robotics and biopolymers, due to its remarkable ability to undergo substantial deformations. Soft robotics often requires materials that can flexibly adapt to or mimic the movements of living...

The evolution of the automated driving industry liberates users from driving tasks, thus creating more time for Non-Driving-Related activities (NDRAs), thereby transforming the car from a mere mode of transport to a mobile activity platform. This shift presents two main challenges: predicting the type of activities passengers will engage in...

The research of the thesis explores to what extent a multi-species design practice in architecture based on affordances informed by the act of human and non-human space-making in abandoned ruins helps to achieve a symbiotic relation between architecture and biodiversity. For this purpose, a theoretical framework triangulating affordances, multi...

The circular economy in the construction sector aims to lessen the environmental impact of construction projects by incorporating the end-of-life phase into the design and the conscious use of reusable resources. To achieve a circular economy in the built environment, it has been evidenced in the literature and practice that governance...

This research explores the entanglement of relations of bodies and cities, in the heterogeneous contemporary city. Wherein, the othering of bodies has become an increasingly (problematic) complexity, due to its relations with obsolete embodiments of (historic) notions of power. The research question that is investigated, questions how we can...

The residential energy consumption and energy affordability are crucial in policy design, with regard to energy efficiency and energy poverty. This has become even more relevant now, as the energy transition is taking off and the energy prices are soaring. Given the inequality in the energy consumption and energy affordability, it is therefore...

Despite their best intentions, policy interventions often fail to adequately address the challenges they were designed to tackle. Disparities in scope, taxonomy and performance perspectives employed by different policy studies, make it difficult to obtain a system perspective of the policy effects of a certain domain. Additionally, a...

Refactorings are program transformations that preserve the observable behavior of the program. The refactoring function inlining replaces a function call with the contents of the referenced function definition. To preserve the behavior, properties such as reference relations must be retained and language constructs like 'return' statements must...

The numerical modelling of a cone penetration test (CPT) has long been a challenging task due to the large deformations associated with the penetration of a CPT. Recent developments in advanced numerical methods have shown promising results in overcoming these difficulties by using the Material Point Method (MPM). In this thesis it is researched...

The current generation of commercial aircrafts extensively use composite materials such as Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) in both exposed and primary structures. These materials lack through-thickness reinforcement and are hence susceptible to out-of-plane impact damages. Barely visible impact damage caused by low energy impacts poses a...

The value of customer relationships appears to be a hot topic at the moment as companies need to move from competition to collaboration, or how I will largely refer to: from transactional to relational. However, the value which current customer relationships generate is far from the claimed collaboration. For many years, transactional...

The relationship between creative agencies and their clients is a difficult one to manage. For clients, the methodologies and processes applied by creative agencies often lack sufficient transparency; so much so that working together needs to be subject to a carefully thought-out process. While agencies recognize the importance of such...
