Uneven workload distributions in teams can lead to suboptimal team performance. This paper therefore describes the design of a virtual assistant that supports workload harmonization in teams by measuring workload, informing team members about their own and other team members’ workload, and supporting …

This paper aims to find opportunities in a new medium that could support treatment for eating disorder (ED) patients. This research is based on the study of previous scholars, expert interviews, a focus group workshop (part of an iterative design process) and cognitive mapping method. Major findings …

Over the past decades, Inconel 718 and titanium 6Al4V have established their roles as prefered material in the gas turbine industry. Production of complex parts with these alloys using conventional production however is time consuming and expensive. With AM fabrication of metals developing fast, the …

When a pipeline is laid on the seabed it can be exposed to hazards of ship anchors, large fishing gear or ice keels. To prevent the pipeline of being damaged, the pipeline can be trenched. Trenching is a technique where the pipeline will be buried in the seabed to a certain depth. This can either be …

The remarkable and continuous growth of the unmanned aircraft market has brought new safety related challenges, as those are recorded in various accident and incident reports. Although drones with an operating weight higher than 20-25Kgs are technologically advanced and often subject to standards (e.g., …

Following the completion of the 1st phase of the RAAK PRO project Aviation Safety Metrics, during which the researchers mapped the current practice in safety metrics and explored the validity of monotonic relationships of SMS, activity and demographic metrics with safety outcomes, this report presents …

The additive manufacturing (AM) of high-quality products requires knowledge of the 3D-printing process and the related design guidelines. Allthough AM has been around for some years, many engineers still lack this knowledge. Therefore, Fontys University of Applied Sciences sets great store by training …

An improved Preventive Maintenance (PM) process has been created for Shell Pernis. The improved process has closed the loop of Maintenance Execution and Reliability Engineering. Added feedback loops and control points secured continuous improvement of PM plans. This made the process an end-to-end process. …

In the current discourses on sustainable development, one can discern two main intellectual cultures: an analytic one focusing on measuring problems and prioritizing measures, (Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Mass Flow Analysis (MFA), etc.) and; a policy/management one, focusing on long term change, change …
