Makris, K. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens-Meyer, François H.L.R. (author), Watts, Joanna (author), Begum, Hasina (author), Horoshenkov, Kirill V. (author)This article explores the potential of vibro-acoustics to detect physical ageing of plastic pipes. For this purpose, two different topics are combined: the ability of vibro-acoustics to estimate the storage modulus of a plastic pipe, and the sensitivity of the estimated storage modulus to changes due to ageing. Concerning the first topic, a...journal article 2023

Sturge, Jodi (author), Miedema, E. (author), Elf, Marie (author), Nordin, Susanna (author)Introduction: Housing and the ageing population are issues that pose challenges for social, health and economic policies. Therefore, there is a need for more knowledge on how to design housing and public infrastructure to improve the social engagement and well-being of older adults who age in place. This project aims to provide an overview of...review 2023

Datsiou, Kyriaki Corinna (author), Overend, M. (author)Patterned acid-etched glasses are frequently used in horizontal glass surfaces that may be walked on, such as floors and staircase treads. These glasses provide useful antislip properties, but the foot traffic cause contact stresses and ageing mechanisms that are poorly understood and can affect the strength of the acid-etched glass. This...journal article 2023

Pipintakos, Georgios (author), Lommaert, Caitlin (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Van den bergh, Wim (author)The ageing of bitumen has received great attention both from a chemical and rheological perspective due to its direct impact on asphalt performance. However, open questions with respect to the convergence of the synchronous ageing changes in rheology and chemistry of bitumen still exist. This paper addresses these alterations of chemistry and...journal article 2022

Hendriksen, Maud (author)Introduction: A thigh push-off is often used as a compensation strategy for standing up by elderly people. However, the biomechanics of this movement are not known. In this thesis the standing-up movement with the use of the thigh push-off strategy (TP), the armrest push-off strategy (AR) and the no arm aid strategy (NA) was analysed. The aim...master thesis 2021

Makris, K. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipes have operated for decades in a hostile environment, raising concern among sewer managers over the longevity of their drainage systems. Inspection data (CCTV and Panoramo®) reveals that severe defects have already surfaced, yet it is unknown if the material properties of PVC sewers have been affected. In...journal article 2021

van der Kruk, E. (author), Silverman, Anne K. (author), Reilly, Peter (author), Bull, Anthony M.J. (author)Capacity is the physiological ability of the neuromusculoskeletal systems; this declines with age. This decline in capacity may result in the inability to stand up (sit-to-stand, sit-to-walk), which is an important movement for independent living. Compensation, as a result of functional redundancy, is key in understanding how much age-related...review 2021

Arouche, M.M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), De Barros, S.R. (author)This work investigates the effect of long-term environmental exposure on the performance of composite-to-metal bonded joints. Specimens are manufactured using a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) co-bonded to a steel member with epoxy adhesive and aged in a salt spray chamber. The mixed-mode fracture behavior of the non-aged and aged...journal article 2021

Mastoras, Filippos (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), van Tooren, M.M. (author), Erkens, S. (author)Past research has shown that the ageing process of bitumen is not solely a function of the bitumen type itself, but rather, added effects have been identified attributed to the presence of fillers. Nevertheless, contradicting results exist between the various studies with respect to the implications of fillers on the ageing process of bitumen...journal article 2021

Y.Vincent (author), Velde, Christophe Vande (author), Doorslaer, Sabine Van (author), Lemière, Filip (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Van den bergh, Wim (author)Understanding the fundamental mechanisms of oxidative ageing in bitumen is considered of paramount importance in order to take steps towards durable binders able to tackle distresses related to this phenomenon which deteriorates the asphalt performance. This paper focuses on the identification of the intermediate and final oxygenated products...journal article 2021

(author)Tendon consists of highly aligned collagen-rich fascicles surrounded by interfascicular matrix (IFM). Some tendons act as energy stores to improve locomotion efficiency, but such tendons commonly obtain debilitating injuries. In equine tendons, energy storing is achieved primarily through specialisation of the IFM. However, no studies have...journal article 2021

Gernat, D.C. (author), Brouwer, E. R. (author), Faber-Zirkzee, R. C. (author), Ottens, M. (author)The increasing popularity of alcohol-free beers (AFBs) fosters the industry interest in delivering the best possible product. Yet, a remaining sensory defect of AFBs is the over-perception of wort flavour, caused by elevated concentrations of small volatile flavour compounds (i.e. aldehydes). Previously, molecular sieves (hydrophobic ZSM-5...journal article 2020

Sanchez Alonso, Carlota (author)Chalk putty is a soil-like material that is formed when intact chalk is disturbed. Recently, it has become of special interest due to the development of offshore wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas, where in a number of sites piles are driven into chalk strata. Several pile tests reported in the literature show increased shaft capacity up to...master thesis 2019

MASTORAS, Filip (author)Ageing of bitumen has been long-recognized as one of the major reasons responsible for the gradual deterioration of asphalt pavements. Age-hardening of the binder leads to the embrittlement of the overall asphalt mixture, which entails its increased susceptibility to traffic and environmental induced damage. As a result, high maintenance efforts...master thesis 2019

Jing, R. (author)Research of the ageing mechanisms in the Netherlands is crucial to deal with ageing infrastructure and the growing pressure on and lack of natural resources. The use of porous asphalt incurs the additional costs because of the shorter service life and the more expensive maintenance required. On the other hand, the Dutch road engineering...doctoral thesis 2019
