Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Auxetic cementitious composites (ACCs) with improved mechanical properties are created, by casting 3D printed polymeric auxetic reinforcement structures inside cementitious mortar. Four types of ACCs incorporating reinforcement with different auxetic mechanisms were prepared: “re-entrant” (RE), “rotating-square” (RS), “chiral” (CR) and ...journal article 2023

Ozdemir, Mehmet (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author)We propose a new approach to obtain local property variations in 3D-printed objects using a single-nozzle 3D printer and one filament. We use foaming filaments which expand at different rates due to different temperatures. We present an approach to harness this varying expansion by including parameters of the 3D printing process in the design...conference paper 2023

van Oudheusden, A.A. (author), Buijserd, A.J. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Spare parts availability is crucial for extending the life of consumer products. However, long-term availability could lead to high stocks of spare parts, which might not be used. Instead, on-demand manufacturing of spare parts with additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising alternative. This paper presents a method to evaluate parts on their...conference paper 2023

Hedayati, R. (author), Yousefi, Armin (author), Dezaki, Mohammadreza Lalegani (author), Bodaghi, Mahdi (author)Both 2D and 3D re-entrant designs are among the well-known prevalent auxetic structures exhibiting negative Poisson's ratio. The present study introduces novel analytical relationships for 2D re-entrant hexagonal honeycombs for both negative and positive ranges of the cell interior angle θ (θ<0 showing a negative Poisson's ratio). The...journal article 2023

Hedayati, R. (author), Stulova, Victoria (author)Due to payload weight limitations and human vulnerability to harsh space conditions, it is preferable that the potential landing location for humans has an already constructed habitat preferably made from in situ materials. Therefore, the prospect of utilizing a readily available Martian material, such as regolith, in an easily programmable...journal article 2023

Hedayati, R. (author), Stulova, Victoria (author)Heavily resource-reliant transportation and harsh living conditions, where humans cannot survive without a proper habitat, have prevented humans from establishing colonies on the Moon and Mars. Due to the absence of an atmosphere, potential habitats on the Moon or Mars require thick and strong structures that can withstand artificially...review 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)A composite can have properties much better than the components it is made of. This work proposes a three-dimensional auxetic cementitious-polymeric composite structure (3D-ACPC) which incorporates 3D printed polymeric shell with cementitious mortar. Uniaxial compression experiments are performed on the 3D-ACPC to study their quasi-static...journal article 2023

Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Xie, J. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Direct ink writing of cementitious materials can be an alternative way for creating vascular self-healing concrete by intentionally incorporating hollow channels in the cementitious matrix. In this study, a 3D-printable fibre reinforced mortar was first developed. Three groups of specimens were fabricated using direct ink writing, where the...journal article 2023

Valera, Elias Hernandez (author), Cremades, Roger (author), van Leeuwen, Eveline (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)Cities are the core of social interactions and resource consumption in our current times. However, urban systems are still largely based on linear activities in which resources are discarded after usage. Current practices around waste reduce possibilities of circularity, mainly due to low percentages of sorting and recycling practices in high...review 2023

Blankespoor, Maarten (author), Manzaneque Garcia, T. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)The capacity to precisely pipette femtoliter volumes of liquid enables many applications, for example, to functionalize a nanoscale surface and manipulate fluids inside a single-cell. A pressure-controlled pipetting method is the most preferred, since it enables the widest range of working liquids. However, precisely controlling femtoliter...journal article 2023

Wan, Z. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Additively manufactured vascular networks have great potential for use in autonomous self-healing of cementitious composites as they potentially allow multiple healing events to take place. However, the existence of a vascular tube wall may impede with the healing efficiency if it does not rupture timely to release the healing agent. The...journal article 2023

van Oudheusden, A.A. (author), Bolanos Arriola, J. (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The availability and storage of spare parts are the main barriers to product repair. One possibility would be to 3D print spare parts, which would also enable the repair of products not intended to be repaired. Besides manufacturers, 3D printing spare parts is an interesting option for self-repair by consumers. However, the digitisation of...journal article 2023
