3D printed smart transtibial prosthesis equipped with temperature and pressure sensory systems

Integration of the sensory systems inside patient-specific medical devices (e.g., implants or prosthesis) can provide additional measurement data at different time points. This can result in improving the traditional designs of those medical devices, and consequently leading to increasing the patient’s comfort and quality of life. By doing...

Industry4.0 Technology Battles in Manufacturing Operations Management: Non-technical dominance factors for IIoT & MES

With the Fourth Industrial Revolution, new industrial automation technologies (Industrial IoT) may replace the existing standard (MES). Most literature analyses software vendor techno-functional design, or manufacturer’s digital transformation. This paper takes a novel approach, by analysing the Business Eco-System with a lens of 11 nontechnical...

Damage Detection in Ultra High Performance Concrete using Embedded Smart Aggregates

The distinct feature of UHPC is the tensile strain hardening phenomena and high compressive strength. We can either use this potential as an additional safety margin in structures or design structures with no passive reinforcement.<br/>The advancements in active structural health monitoring devices have opened further possibilities to validate...
