The present study deals with the numerical modelling of hybrid laminated composites, which can be proved especially useful in the engineering and maintenance of advanced aerospace primary structures. The lamina is comprised of continuous carbon fibers, thermosetting epoxy polymer matrix, as well as carbon …

It is estimated that over 30,000 lesions in the DNA are generated per cell per day. In S-phase, lesions in the DNA can stall replication, which can lead to secondary lesions such as DNA double- strand breaks. The DNA damage tolerance (DDT) network enables replication to be continued in the presence of …

Although predictive maintenance is indisputable as an integral part of efficient production, it is still seen as an annoying cost factor. This article presents a conceptual model that sheds light on cause-and-effect relationships and reinforcing feedback effects. This creates transparency and understanding …

A psychological mechanism to prefer specific (pre) judgments over general judgments has to do with control and defusing threats. By framing, what we fear becomes less generally threatening. For example, we specify an accident by looking at car age, driver 's age, alcohol / drugs, brand of car, or state …

The current configuration of the robotic stearate coating process only supports certain bead sizes, the rest is coated manually. The current configuration lacks capacity and requires a lot of maintenance due to the age of the used robots. To be able to support all bead sizes, increase the daily capacity, …

As every new generation of civil aircraft creates more on-wing data and fleets gradually become more connected with the ground, an increased number of opportunities can be identified for more effective Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations. Data are becoming a valuable asset for aircraft …

Damen Shipyards Group (hierna genoemd Damen) is een internationale scheepswerfgroep. De schepen die gebouwd worden bestaan uit veel componenten. Een deel van die componenten heeft onderhoud nodig.
