Chen, X. (author), Sanchez, T. (author), Conciatori, D. (author), Chaouki, H. (author), Sorelli, L. (author), Selma, B. (author), Chekired, M. (author)This paper presents a new 2D water transport model considering capillary suction to predict the water content evolution in the concrete porosity. The basic formulations of the model are illustrated, and a switching algorithm is introduced to simulated wet-drying effects. Two specific absorption tests are studied to validate this model. The first...conference paper 2021

Li, Z. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)Fatigue is one of the major challenges of offshore rigid pipes. The surface crack is the main manifestation. Fatigue cracks are evolved from surface cracks which are frequently appear in the external surface of rigid pipes. Under fatigue loads, the surface cracks may continue to propagate and finally develop into penetrated cracks, which may...conference paper 2018

Jing, R. (author), van Lent, Diederik (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author)When oxygen diffuses in a bituminous film, it also reacts, simultaneously, with the constituents of the bitumen and as such it is gradually depleted. This depletion process masks the characteristics of the actual diffusion process and complicates the determination of the diffusion coefficient needed for computation of oxygen concentration and...conference paper 2017

Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author), Post, M. (author)Displacement-based finite element calculations are primarily used for serviceability limit state (SLS) analysis, but the finite element method also offers possibilities for ultimate limit state (ULS) design in geotechnical engineering. The combined use of SLS and ULS calculations with partial safety factors according to the different design...conference paper 2015

Akbas, S.O. (author), Kokten, O. (author)A deep excavation application characterized by imprecise data and lack of adequate information is used to demonstrate the efficiency, applicability, and validity of the random set theory in combination with finite element method (RS-FEM). A case history of an anchored contiguous pile wall in overconsolidated fissured Ankara Clay constructed for...conference paper 2015

Akbas, B. (author), Huvaj, N. (author)This paper compares the results of different probabilistic approaches and emphasizes the necessity of probabilistic analyses in slope stability studies. To do that, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) are utilized and their outputs are compared in terms of probability of failure (PF), reliability index (RI), factor of...conference paper 2015

Su, H.Z. (author), Wen, Z. (author), Yang, M. (author)The elastic-plastic mechanical behaviour is a typical characteristic of rock mass. The load action will bring on the local destruction, large deformation, even whole failure of rock mass with the discontinuous mediums (e.g. joint, crack and fault). It is a coupling process of the continuous deformation and the discontinuous deformation. The...conference paper 2015

Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Wu, J. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)The coupled mechanical–thermal behaviour of wheel and rail materials under rolling contact is studied to determine the temperature rise due to the frictional heat. The wheel–rail frictional rolling contact problem is solved using the three–dimensional finite element (FE) method. The FE model considers the wheel tread–rail top contact with...conference paper 2015

Tapeinos, I. (author), Koussios, S. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)This paper outlines the structural performance of a conformable pressurizable tank consisting of intersecting spherical shells (multi-cell tank). Multi-cell tanks outrival conventional multiple cylindrical tanks in volumetric efficiency when required to fit in a rectangular envelope in the automotive industry. When pressurized, the multi-cell ...conference paper 2015

Deng, X. (author), Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Qian, Z. (author)A modeling procedure to predict the residual fatigue life of rail at squats seeds is developed in this article. Two models are involved: a 3D explicit Finite Element (FE) model to compute the stress and strain at squats in rail, and the J-S fatigue damage model to determine the residual fatigue life on the basis of the computed stress and strain...conference paper 2014

Coenders, J.L. (author)This paper presents two novel open source software developments for design and engineering in the built environment. The first development, called “sustainability-open” [1], aims on providing open source design, analysis and assessment software source code for (environmental) performance of buildings, structures and infrastructure. The aim of...conference paper 2013

Kurilla, L. (author), Achten, H. (author), Florian, M. (author)In order to support an architects decision to evaluate and choose more efficient structural solutions in the concept design, it is necessary to establish an interactive feedback loop between structural solver and geometry modeller which would allow one to analyse a great number of solutions generated in the scripting design process. Defining a...conference paper 2013

Hilloulin, B. (author), Grondin, F. (author), Matallah, M. (author), Loukili, A. (author)Cracks, caused by shrinkage or external loading, reduce the durability of concrete structures as aggressive substances can easily enter in the capillary network of the cementitious matrix. Natural autogenous healing ability of concrete by further hydration or precipitation has been studied experimentally for many years. Autogenous healing of...conference paper 2013

Caggiano, A. (author), Pepe, M. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author), Martinelli, E. (author), Etse, G.J. (author)Heat production induced by the hydration reaction and the resulting temperature evolution in the early phases of setting and hardening processes are critical phenomena, often leading to premature cracking of concrete members. However, the interest for simulating such phenomena is also related to the fundamental relationships between the nature...conference paper 2012

Malidi, A. (author), Harlen, O. (author)We present a novel Lagrangian finite element method for simulating suspensions of particles in viscoelastic fluids. We solve the flow in a unit cell containing a small number of particles with doubly periodic boundary conditions on a self-replicating two-dimensional lattice to replicate a suspension on an infinite domain. The method uses a...conference paper 2006

Stiemer, M. (author), Unger, J. (author), Svendsen, B. (author), Blum, H. (author)Electromagnetic metal forming is a contact-free high-speed forming process. The deformation of the workpiece is driven by a material body force, the Lorentz force, that results from the interaction of a pulsed magnetic field with eddy currents induced in the workpiece by the magnetic field itself. The purpose of this work is to present a fully...conference paper 2006
