Cornet, A.J. (author), Homborg, A.M. (author), Ravi Anusuyadevi, P. (author), 't Hoen-Velterop, L. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)Despite extensive research, eliminating hexavalent chromium-based inhibitors from aerospace coatings remains challenging due to a lack of understanding of coating degradation during aircraft service. This study addresses the issue by investigating the protective mechanisms and aging processes of chromate-containing coatings on aircraft...journal article 2024

Zhang, P. (author), Li, S. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)Short pitch corrugation has been a problem for railways worldwide over one century. In this paper, a parametric investigation of fastenings is conducted to understand the corrugation formation mechanism and gain insights into corrugation mitigation. A three-dimensional finite element vehicle–track dynamic interaction model is employed, which...journal article 2024

Speksnijder, Andreas (author)An important trend exhibited by the offshore wind market is the increase in the size of wind turbines, leading to longer and stiffer monopiles with larger diameter-to-thickness ratios. Current transport analysis is focused on loads resulting from hydrodynamic accelerations, without taking loads into account resulting from differences in bending...master thesis 2023

van Slobbe, Davi (author)The offshore wind energy market is expanding and the number of offshore wind turbines being installed in the near future is rising. Offshore wind turbines are being installed further offshore and in deeper waters. Besides, to lower the cost of wind energy offshore wind turbines are increasing in size and power output. Both wind turbines and...master thesis 2023

Narayanappa, Karthik (author)Joining structural components in aircraft is generally performed through mechanical fastening. The interaction of bearing and bypass stresses in composite bolted joints causes a reduction in the static strength of the joint. The bearing-bypass diagram determines the bearing and net-section failure modes. This thesis work aims to provide a design...master thesis 2021

van 't Hof, Nathan (author)The purpose of this research study is to analyse the effect of the design of mechanical fastener on their effectiveness as Disbond Arrest Features (DAFs). This was done by means of a sensitivity study using a 3D model using the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) to model the disbond growth of a single lap shear specimen comparing the Strain...master thesis 2021

Zhong, Junping (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Wang, H. (author), Liu, Wenqiang (author), Yang, Cheng (author), Han, Zhiwei (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author)Brace sleeve (BS) fasteners, i.e., nut and bolt, are small components but play essential roles in fixing BS and cantilever in railway catenary system. They are commonly inspected by onboard cameras using computer vision to ensure the safety of railway operation. However, most BS fasteners cannot be directly localized because they are too...journal article 2021

Zhang, P. (author), Li, S. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Li, Z. (author)This paper investigates three-dimensional (3D) rail vibrations under fastening constraint up to 5000 Hz and provides insights into rail vibration control by fastening parameters. A methodology is proposed, including experimental investigation and numerical simulations of rail vibrations. Three steps are considered: 1) experimental investigation...journal article 2021

Villegas, I.F. (author), Rans, C.D. (author)Single-lap shear (SLS) joints are straightforward to manufacture. This makes them especially attractive for testing polymer composite welded joints. Owing to local heating, which is characteristic of composite welding processes, the production of more geometrically intricate joints (such as double-lap or scarfed joints) or bigger joints (such...review 2021

Wang, W. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Mechanically fastened joints are susceptible to the presence of multiple-site damage (MSD) cracks in the critical fastener row. Different from the MSD growth in joints consisting of metallic substrates, the two coupled metal crack growth and interfacial delamination propagation failure mechanisms in Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) make the...journal article 2018

Wang, Haoyu (author), Markine, V.L. (author)Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable variation in the vertical stiffness of supporting structures. Typically, they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges, culverts, tunnels and level crossings. In such locations, the variation of the vertical stiffness and the differential track settlement...journal article 2018

Chen, Junwen (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Wang, H. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Han, Zhiwei (author)The excitation and vibration triggered by the long-term operation of railway vehicles inevitably result in defective states of catenary support devices. With the massive construction of high-speed electrified railways, automatic defect detection of diverse and plentiful fasteners on the catenary support device is of great significance for...journal article 2018

Hover, J.H.P. (author)Laminated bamboo could be a promising material when it comes to large span roofing structures where often truss structures are adopted. It is assumed that connection design used for timber trusses can also be applied in laminated bamboo trusses. For this research truss nodes with slotted-in steel plates are considered. This research will focus...master thesis 2017

Oregui Echeverria-Berreyarza, M. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of railpad parameters on vertical railway track dynamics, incorporating the nonlinear behavior of the fastening (i.e., downward forces compress the railpad whereas upward forces are resisted by the clamps). For this purpose, solid railpads, rail-railpad contact and preloaded springs are defined in a...journal article 2016
