Kirichek, Alex (author), Lovato, S. (author), Ohle, N. (author), ten Brummelhuis, E. (author), Rockx, S. (author), Hupkes, E. (author)Instead of maintenance dredging, an alternative option for port authorities is to adapt the PIANC's nautical bottom approach. For practical purposes, the nautical bottom is defined as the level at which the fluid mud reaches either a critical density or a critical yield stress (the shear strength). These values generally correspond to a level at...conference paper 2024

Kamal, Catherine (author), Botto, L. (author)Through boundary integral simulations and asymptotic analysis, we investigate the effect of a finite Navier slip length on the rheological proprieties of a dilute two-dimensional suspension of plate-like particles in the creeping flow limit. Specifically, we study the effects of Navier slip, particle thickness and Péclet number on the effective...journal article 2023

Driever, Ellen G. (author), Muntz, I.A.A. (author), Patel, Vishal (author), Adelmeijer, Jelle (author), Bernal, William (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Lisman, Ton (author)Background: Previous studies identified decreased clot permeability, without differences in fibrin fiber density in clots, from patients with cirrhosis compared with those from healthy controls (HCs). Fibrinogen hypersialylation could be the reason for this discrepancy. Objectives: The aim of this work was to study mechanical properties of...journal article 2023

Srinivasan, Sudharsan (author), van den Akker, H.E.A. (author), Shardt, Orest (author)We carried out 3D simulations of monodisperse particle suspensions subjected to a constant shear rate with the view to investigate the effect of electrical double layers around the particles on apparent suspension viscosities. To this end, expressions for Debye length, zeta potential, and ionic strength (pH) of the liquid were incorporated...journal article 2023

(author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Limestone-calcined clay-cement (LC3), as one of the most promising sustainable cements, has been under development over the past decade. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its rheological behaviors, such as the metakaolin content of calcined clay. This study aims to investigate the effect of increasing the content of fine-grained...journal article 2023

Martinez Torres, C.E. (author), Grimbergen, Jos (author), Koopman, Jaap (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author)Background: Fibrinogen is a plasma protein forming the fibrin scaffold of blood clots. Its mechanical properties therefore affect the risk of bleeding as well as thrombosis. There has been much recent interest in the biophysical mechanisms controlling fibrin mechanics; however, the role of molecular heterogeneity of the circulating fibrinogen...journal article 2023

Meshkati, Ebi (author), Terwindt, Jarno (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Talmon, A.M. (author), Bezuijen, Adam (author)Soft mud deposits are increasingly encountered around the world, from natural offshore deposits and mud layers in estuaries, ports, and waterways to progressively growing leftover from treatment and extraction facilities, mines, and oil refineries. Reliable monitoring of the temporal and spatial strength buildup in such deposits is crucial to...conference paper 2022

França de Mendonça Filho, F. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Remarkable attention from both academia and industry has been attracted to extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP) during the last decade. Many companies in the Netherlands, e.g., Royal BAM Group, CyBe, Twente Additive Manufacturing, and Bruil, are attempting to implement this technology in practice. 3DCP is the focused digital concrete...book chapter 2022

Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Jing, R. (author), Tarsi, G. (author), Erkens, S. (author)Moisture sorption can significantly influence hydrothermal ageing and alter the chemical and rheological properties of bituminous mastics. Mineral filler particles are added to bituminous binders to form mastics with increased stiffness. The addition of fillers can considerably change the moisture sorption and the physico-chemical properties...journal article 2021

Lakshminarayanan, Vasudevan (author), Chockalingam, Cindhuja (author), Mendes, E. (author), van Esch, J.H. (author)Properties such as shear modulus, gelation time, structure of supramolecular hydrogels are strongly dependent on self-assembly, gelation triggering mechanism and processes used to form the gel. In our work we extend reported rheology analysis methodologies to pH-triggered supramolecular gels to understand structural insight using a model...journal article 2021

Lampaert, S.G.E. (author)The bearing and the seal are two commonly used tribological components since nearly all moving machinery relies on them for proper operation. Even a small improvement in these components can have a big impact on both the market and the environment. The two main problems of these components are wear and friction. In addition, seals suffer from...doctoral thesis 2020

Particularly, the effect of oxidative aging on the chemical compositional changes and on the rheology of bituminous binders with organosolv lignin and the impact to inhibit oxidation in bitumen were evaluated. Firstly, after analyzing the...journal article 2020

(author)As bitumen oxidizes, material stiffening and embrittlement occur, and bitumen eventually cracks. The use of anti-oxidants, such as lignin, could be used to delay oxidative aging and to extend the lifetime of asphalt pavements. In this study, the chemical and rheological effect of lignin on bitumen was evaluated by using a single dosage organsolv...journal article 2019

Thota Radhakrishnan, A.K. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Information on the rheology of domestic slurries is essential in designing pipeline transportation in novel sanitation systems. As concentrated slurries in their original collected state have wide particle size distribution, with particles up to 2 mm, a wide gap rheometer is used to acquire the rheograms. Rheograms obtained from a wide gap...journal article 2018
