Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) is a widely used inspection technique in the aerospace industry. Because of the aging aerospace sector, and because of the safety-criticality of the inspection, aerospace companies aim to automate (parts of this) inspection process to support inspectors. This paper …

Routine maintenance of commercial aircraft requires reliable detection and repair of corrosion to ensure structural integrity. Post-repair inspections are commonly performed using manual ultrasonic point measurements of residual thickness, a process that is time-intensive and constrained by limitations …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …

The project for a mixed housing complex in the Taxandria zone in Waalwijk promotes a locally based development, inspired by the urban grain of the old city center. A variety of block types and terraced housing with experimental tiny and medium scale living units is arranged along covered alleyways and …

Background: To prevent deterioration after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and to improve rehabilitation, the ICU team should use digital technologies to provide comprehensive and practical information alongside personalised support for survivors and their family members. However, a knowledge …

Er is een gebrek aan kennis over gezinnen die adolescenten opvoeden met ernstig verstandelijke en meervoudige beperkingen (PIMD) tijdens de overgang naar volwassenheid. Deze studie onderzoekt de ervaringen en ondersteuningsbehoeften van deze gezinnen tijdens deze transitie. Er werd gebruik gemaakt van …

The Eastern Scheldt faces sand starvation as a result of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier construction, which has led to a decreased tidal prism and subsequent loss of intertidal areas. These areas are crucial for birds and seals to rest and forage for food. To address this issue, Rijkswaterstaat …

Revolutionary advances in technology have been seen in many industries, with the IIoT being a prime example. The IIoT creates a network of interconnected devices, allowing smooth communication and interoperability in industrial settings. This not only boosts efficiency, productivity, and safety but also …

Objectives: Simulation is an important learning activity in nursing education. There is little knowledge about dialogue and communication between students and facilitators in a virtual simulation setting. The current study, conducted in Norway, explores the dialogic teaching approaches applied by facilitators …

This paper aims to present a comprehensive investigation to obtain the structural calculations needed to design a rigid panel of aluminum alloy for the wing box beam of an ATR 72–500 aircraft. For this design process, several types of materials, including composites like CFRP, are considered so it is …
