En Cours Dans les Coulisses

This year's urban architecture graduation studio proposes a site specific approach within the district of Bressoux, on the fringe of the city of Liège. Seeking for opportunities in the working class district, after the industry has left the stage, a courtyard on a corner is found. Behind the perimeter wall, basic necessities for those in need...

A theoretical approach towards digital twins: A balance between an empirical and a fundamental model for distribution transformers

The energy transition will significantly impact distribution transformers as they will have to deal with more load on them, which is also more variable due to renewable energy sources. However, currently, these transformers are often not monitored with sensors. Therefore, the Dutch network operator Stedin asked to investigate the possibilities...

A novel 3D mixed-mode multigrain model with efficient implementation of solute drag applied to austenite-ferrite phase transformations in Fe-C-Mn alloys

A computational 3D model that accounts for both nucleation and interface migration is a very useful tool to monitor and grasp the complexity of microstructure formation in low-alloyed steels. In the present study we have developed a 3D mixed-mode multigrain model for the austenite-ferrite and the austenite-ferrite-austenite formation capable...

Vertical Campus: The future of big player architecture in Midtown Manhattan

As big player architecture has been the main shaper of the NYC skyline this thesis sought to find the answer to which industry would follow to built the next addition. The result is a vertical tech campus where the new york office is mixed with the california campus to create a flagship store/office for the fictional client Google inc.

Modelling study on the three-dimensional neutron depolarisation response of the evolving ferrite particle size distribution during the austenite–ferrite phase transformation in steels

The magnetic configuration of a ferromagnetic system with mono-disperse and poly-disperse distribution of magnetic particles with inter-particle interactions has been computed. The analysis is general in nature and applies to all systems containing magnetically interacting particles in a non-magnetic matrix, but has been applied to steel...
