Convective Heat and Mass Transfer at Exterior Building Surfaces KU Leuven
A discrete element approach for simulating the compression of fibrous biomass KU Leuven
Due to the growing world population, the agricultural sector needs more productive and more energy-efficient agricultural machinery in order to adequately address the growing demand for food and biomass. Therefore, the sector significantly invests in the optimization of agricultural machinery.
Historically, the optimization of agricultural machinery was done by trial and error. Design improvements of agricultural machinery are still ...
Characterisation of acoustic liner impedance in representative turbofan engine flight environment KU Leuven
Introduction
The central subject of the scientific research performed during the Doctoral Training (PhD) consists in the study of the impedance provided by acoustic liners through the improvement and the application of the numerical modelling and the experimental capabilities available in Alenia Aermacchi and K.U.Leuven. A better understanding of the main driving parameters is expected to lead both the optimisation of current liner ...
Dynamics of natural hazards and disasters in tropical Africa Vrije Universiteit Brussel
making due to the increasing impacts of climate change and natural hazards. In
parallel, land use changes due to the deforestation and the expansion of urban
areas and human infrastructures in general lead to more disasters, both in space
and time. In the present work, we propose to support a PhD research dedicated
to the study of the ...
Development of a Smart Selective Laser Melting Process KU Leuven
The main objective of this dissertation is to improve the quality and robustness and to be able to estimate the quality of the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process. This is realised by carefully examining the complete SLM process chain and by improving the intelligence of the system by predicting the quality and improving the robustness.
To improve the robustness and quality, the job preparation is implemented in an in-house developed ...
