Bomb Blast Testing

In this video, Andrej Vorkapić details the engineering and testing processes behind bomb blast-resistant facades, explaining that such protection is needed for public buildings and high-risk sites due to threats from terrorism, military action, or accidental industrial explosions. The main danger is the air shock wave from a blast, characterized by its peak pressure and impulse. A successful facade must protect occupants and the main structure, prevent pressure penetration, and—critically—not generate hazardous fragments. While frames can be made from ductile materials like steel or aluminum, the brittle nature of glass is overcome by using laminated glass with a PVB interlayer, which holds the broken pieces in place. The most reliable validation method is physical testing, with two primary types discussed: the cost-effective but incomplete shock tube test and the expensive but highly realistic range test, which was successfully demonstrated on a full-scale sample designed to withstand a 200kg TNT car bomb simulation. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project. Special thanks to Andrej Vorkapić and Nebojša Buljan for contributing to the Open GLASSroom OER collection.

Comparative Analysis of the Glass Plate Design

In this video, Ivana Rakić presents a comparative analysis of the economic impact of designing glass elements according to different standards, focusing on the new European draft standard FprEN 19100-1(2,3):2023, the existing EN 16612:2019, and the American ASTM E1300-16. The study examines common double-glazed insulating units under wind load, using the minimal required glass thickness for loadbearing resistance as the key comparison criterion. The results indicate that for annealed glass, all three standards yield similar economic outcomes. However, for heat-treated glass like heat-strengthened and thermally toughened glass, the new FprEN 19100 standard leads to a lower capacity utilisation factor, making it the most economical design choice, while the ASTM standard is the least economical. The analysis concludes that the choice of standard significantly influences design economy and highlights the need for further research incorporating factors like safety and long-term performance for a more comprehensive understanding.

Adaptive Expertise Assessment

Adaptive expertise verwijst naar het vermogen van individuen om hun kennis op innovatieve wijze te hercombineren om onbekende problemen op te lossen. Deze vaardigheid is essentieel voor interdisciplinair werken, en het effectief aanpakken van grote maatschappelijke uitdagingen. Wat Op deze pagina zijn te vinden: • Adaptive Expertise scenario’s. Deze kunnen ingezet worden om de adaptive expertise van studenten te meten. • Een link naar een voorbeeldassessment waarin de Adaptive Expertise scenario’s worden gebruikt. Binnenkort verschijnt op deze pagina een link naar een boekhoofdstuk waarin de theoretische achtergrond en toepassing van de Adaptive Expertise scenario’s worden toegelicht. Voor wie De materialen zijn bedoeld voor onderwijskundig adviseurs, beleidsmakers, curriculumontwikkelaars, docenten en onderzoekers in het hoger onderwijs, met name binnen interprofessionele en praktijkgerichte opleidingen. Waarom Het stimuleren van adaptive expertise draagt bij aan de ontwikkeling van veerkrachtige, reflectieve en lerende studenten en professionals. Door adaptive expertise te meten kunnen docenten beter inspelen op hoe studenten zich ontwikkelen als oplossers van maatschappelijke problemen buiten hun eigen kennisdomain.

Publication strategies & Open Access: Choosing a journal to publish in

Choosing a journal to publish in Where will you publish your next journal article? With thousands of journals available it can be hard to find the right journal for your work. At the bottom of this page you can find an overview of tools that can help you create a 'shortlist' of journals to publish in. Some disciplines or research schools have developed journal lists, providing an overview of the journals most relevant to them. Aims & scope After creating a shortlist of suitable journals you need to check the aims and scope of the journals. Open Access options When choosing a journal the options to publish in Open Access can be important as well. All EUR-researchers are required to make their publications Open Access and most research funders have adopted policies that make Open Access publishing mandatory. AAbstracting and indexing information Where is the journal indexed? In other words: in which databases will researchers and students be able to find your article in their search results? Are these multidisciplinary databases, like Scopus or Web of Science, and/or discipline specific databases like EconLit, ERIC, PsycINFO or Sociological Abstracts? Are these databases you and your peers use? Tools to find journals to publish in Several tools have been developed to help you find suitable journals: these tools allow you to upload title, abstract and/or keywords of your article and – using data of articles already published - matching journals are shown. Some of these tools are publisher specific, others are publisher neutral. Journal lists Some disciplines and schools have created list of journals to publish in. These list are sometimes also used to evaluate researchers. Suggested.

Publication strategies & Open Access: Watch out for predatory journals and publishers

Watch out for predatory journals and publishers Received an email lately encouraging you to publish with a new exciting sounding journal? Before you send your manuscript, take a few minutes to check up on that journal. It might be an invitation from a 'predatory journal'. Some tips to identify (potential predatory) journals and publishers When you want to check up on a journal - is it a predatory journal or not? -, take some time to look at its features. Tips to identify an Open Access option for your article. Related. Suggested.

Research Data Management: Open Data

What is Open Data? Open Data is data that anyone can access, use and share. Open Data challenges intelligent and creative minds to provide societal value. Open Data applications allow us to make better use of existing resources and create new products and services. Open Data is also one of the cornerstones of Open Science, a concept central to science practitioners and policy makers of today, promoting (re)use of research data and results amongst scientists, the business community and society as a whole. Open Data and academic research In academia, Open Data are used in humanities and cultural heritage research communities (e.g. Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD), Europeana); Open Data are also common in the life sciences (e.g. Elixer) and in economics (e.g. World Bank). Some open datasets can be useful to explore societally relevant questions relevant to current policy debates and topics of interest to specific demographics. Open Data is also important for educational purposes (e.g., see Bishop & Kuula-Luumi, 2017). Open Data applications Open Data helps to create (new) value for societies, citizens and businesses. There are now several examples of successful startups with innovative applications of Open Data. Appealing examples are available in health, transport, energy and the environmental sector (see ODINE for examples). I want to work with Open Data. Where to start, who to contact? A good starting point for information and inspiration on “all things” Open Data is the Open Data Handbook. This online handbook provides case studies, learning resources and networked information on Open Data. Related. Support.
