Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the building sector and rural areas in particular should be prioritised due to their special characteristics. In this work, ways to adapt rural residential buildings ...

The measurement of fast voltage and current transients of Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices requires high bandwidth (BW) probes. Commercially available voltage and current probes can be expensive, and, in addition, the delay ...

A novel multi-directional eddy current thermography (ECT) system is presented generating sets of directional phase images that have been fused with a processing pipeline allowing for an improved probability of detection ...

In transportation applications, filling high pressurised hydrogen tanks within a few minutes implies a fast and large temperature increase that can compromise the structural integrity of the storage system and the safety ...

The prediction of creep behavior plays a critical role in the design of thermoplastic materials intended for prolonged use. The creep modulus, which describes the relationship between stress and strain that a material ...

Smart Product–Service Systems (S-PSS) represent an innovative business model that integrates intelligent products with advanced digital capabilities and corresponding e-services. The user experience (UX) within an S-PSS ...

Post Forming Electro Plastic Effect (PFEPE) has been proposed as a promising technology for mitigating forming forces and addressing springback challenges in the metal forming industry. However, several research gaps remain ...

Building on the premise that quality is a complex and multifaceted concept, we advocate for the structuring of the concept of quality in engineering design parametric CAD modeling by using three hierarchical levels. The ...

In Model-Based Enterprise environments, 3D CAD models — specifically, native parametric solid models — become the primary carriers of design information for engineering and manufacturing activities. It is therefore critical ...

This paper presents the first comparative study evaluating towing and onsite replacement strategies for heavy maintenance of floating offshore wind (FOW) turbines. The towing maintenance strategy is characterised by a ...
