Digital twin for integration of design, manufacturing, and maintenance

Using digital twin technology to increase the efficiency of design, manufacturing, and maintenance of equipment through the provision of real-time feedback.

Design, manufacturing, and maintenance of industrial equipment are usually managed separately, making them inefficient in terms of time and cost. Dr Ming-Liang Zhu, Dr Fu-Zhen Xuan and colleagues at East China University of Science & Technology develop the concept of digital twin technology to increase the efficiency of all phases that make up a product’s lifecycle. Their research offers a […]

Listening to the city: Architecture as soundscape

Street performers contribute to the city soundscape.

Sound is an integral part of many people’s daily life, and the architectural spaces that surround us shape and impact the quality of urban sound. Street performers, such as buskers, contribute to the city soundscape, and while in the past they may have been treated as a nuisance, now they are more readily accepted as contributing to the vitality of […]
