This thesis investigates the restoration and structural reinforcement of a historically protected 19th-century residential building on the island of Hydra, Greece. Undertaken within the strict constraints of Greek heritage law (ΦΕΚ 594Δ/1978), the project aims to enhance structural safety and environmental …

As part of the 'Knowledge session 2 - system integration' on NEF, this presentation was held on the impact of linepacking strategies for biomethane integration.

Biogas production involves the complex process of anaerobic digestion in bioreactors. This paper presents numerical modeling results and analysis of bioreactors. We discuss research methodology, model geometry, internal bioreactor processes, and possible modifications. Two mathematical models and their …

This article presents a Multiscale Modeling Framework for the prediction of the progressive damage and failure analysis of laminated composites structures reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). First, the modified Halpin-Tsai (H-T) model is employed to estimate the mechanical properties of CNT-reinforced …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a widely used method for evaluating demand response (DR) strategies. To comprehensively assess the impact of DR strategies on a district cooling system, the integration of building managers’ DR behavior is essential. However, most ABM studies focus on technical optimization …

Project Presentatie aan de Groningse gedeputeerde energie Henk Emmens en de Nedersaksische minister voor Europese en Regionale Ontwikkeling voor Europese Samenwerking Wiebke Osigus over CityLogistics2.0.

Dealing with and maintaining high-quality standards in the design and construction phases is challenging, especially for on-site construction. Issues like improper implementation of building components and poor communication can widen the gap between design specifications and actual conditions. To prevent …

An important step towards improving performance while reducing weight and maintenance needs is the integration of composite materials into mechanical and aerospace engineering. This subject explores the many aspects of composite application, from basic material characterization to state-of-the-art advances …
