This study investigates the effect of position on build-plate on the dimensional deviations for stainless steel 316 L samples made by laser powder-bed fusion. To understand the effect of sample position on the build-plate (substrate) with respect to shrinkage and dimensional deviation, 36 samples in …

Some berthing facilities at Hansweert are showing a structural failure where the top element of the dolphin shows an undesired inclination, compromising the functionality and safety of the structure. Rijkswaterstaat Sea and Delta created an assignment in order to define the cause and provide a solution …

This project is about the creation of a design concept of a modular kitchensystem for microapartments. It contains research regarding the target groups of microliving, a market analysis of other kitchen manufacturers and an analysis of this data. With thehelp of this data, concepts are created and finally …

The global industrial economy is still predominantly linear, working according to the take-make-waste principle. This has affected the planet to a concerning amount, which is why the European Union signed the Paris Agreement, committing to a 1,5 to 2 degree scenario of global warming. In order to achieve …

Uitstelgedrag komt vaak voor onder studenten en kan bij problematische en chronische vormen negatieve gevolgen hebben in zowel praktisch, als in psychologisch opzicht (Milgram in Ferrari, Johnson & McCown, 1995). Naast studievertraging en lagere studieresultaten, heeft uitstelgedrag ook negatieve consequenties …

In this study, an existing injection mould was partially optimized by adding CCCs to one of the mould inserts. The insert was additively manufactured in stainless steel using Selective Laser Melting. Simulations of the cooling process in the injection mould show that hot spots are eliminated, but the …

Energy dissipative steel cushions (EDSCs) are simple units that can be used to join structural members. They can absorb a substantial amount of seismic energy due to their geometric shapes and the ductile behavior of mild steel. Large deformation capability and stable hysteretic behavior were obtained …

Al jarenlang kampen studenten met studie-uitval en studievertraging. Volgens Vereniging Hogescholen (2017) heeft 50% van de studenten, die in 2012 hun studie zijn begonnen, na vijf jaar nog geen diploma behaald. Eén van de oorzaken voor het aantal studenten dat te maken heeft met studie-uitval en studievertraging …

Vandaag de dag investeren organisaties steeds meer in duurzame ontwikkeling om de impact op het milieu te reduceren, met als doel een volledig CO2-neutrale organisatie. De staalproducent Tata Steel Europe heeft ditzelfde doel voor ogen en hanteert hierbij de missie: ‘Bouwen aan het toonaangevende Europese …
