This study explores the shape-morphing behavior of 4D-printed structures made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a prominent bio-sourced shape-memory polymer. Focusing on the response of these structures to thermal stimuli, this research investigates how various printing parameters influence their morphing …

Data analytics seems a promising approach to address the problem of unpredictability in MRO organizations. The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the aviation industry has initiated a two-year applied research project to explore the possibilities of data mining. More than 25 …
