This thesis presents the design, development, and evaluation of a Mixed Reality (MR) training application aimed at identifying methods of artificially inducing stress to enhance realism in Emergency Response simulations. Emergency Responders are often in stressful scenarios and require a high stress …

Purpose Engineering knowledge continuity is crucial for the life cycle management of long-lived and complex assets, such as nuclear plants, locks and storm surge barriers. At the storm surge barriers in the Netherlands, engineering knowledge continuity is not yet fully assured, despite long-standing …

This paper sets out to find out what is needed to take an interactive application that aims to garner interest in local folklore from a prototype to a final product as a lead designer. To do this, first research is done into the role of a lead designer and the scope of the project is established. Then, …

Anyone who has watched a child play with soft semi-liquid materials like honey, frosting, or slime, sees the fascinating interplay between design and physics. Many of us remember these experiences from our own childhood (or maybe not that long ago). These materials dribble and coil as they stack upon …

The comparative analysis of clay properties is a crucial study in dike design, construction and maintenance. Understanding the properties of different clay covers and soil is essential for ensuring the stability and effectiveness of dike systems. This research analysis aims to provide valuable insights …
