Extended Reality as a Catalyst for Circular Economy Transition in the Built Environment

Extended reality (XR) technologies refer to mixed reality and virtual reality configurations that augment real or represent fully virtual information in an intuitive and immersive manner, transforming the way we plan, design, construct, and operate built environment assets. XR offers great potential to support and accelerate the transition of...

Reliability and Degradation of Power Electronic Materials

Testing materials and devices for a specific failure mechanism usually yields a characteristic distribution of failure times. However, failure of power electronics (PE) can be due to a manifold of mechanisms. Even in a single PE device multiple failure processes may compete. For instance, modules may contain various components that fail...
