Smeets, E.T.B. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author)In thermoplastic composite joints with a circular ultrasonic spot weld, the damage growth is located at the interface between the joined components. This means that any damage in these joints is invisible from the outside. This experimental study compares three different in-situ methods to measure the damage growth indirectly. The motivation...journal article 2023

Smeets, E.T.B. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author)Ultrasonic spot welding is a joining technique for thermoplastic composites with great potential regarding processing speed and cost. To investigate the damage tolerance and possible inherent damage arresting behavior of multi-spot welded joints, a technique is necessary to measure damage growth in the joints under cyclic loading. Visual...conference paper 2022

Liu, S. (author), Popov, M. (author), Belda, Nadew (author), Smeets, Rene (author), Liu, Zhiyuan (author)This paper deals with the development of an accurate finite-element model of an arrester to investigate the electrothermal and mechanical stress during dc current interruption. The comprehensive analysis performed on a ZnO surge arrester is supported by experiments during high-voltage dc circuit breaker current interruption. The performed...journal article 2022

Smeets, Jeroen B.J. (author), Vos, Kim (author), Abbink, Emma (author), Plaisier, M.A. (author)The size-weight illusion is well-known: if two equally heavy objects differ in size, the large one feels lighter than the small one. Most explanations for this illusion assume that because the information about the relevant attribute (weight itself) is unreliable, information about an irrelevant but correlated attribute (size) is used as well...journal article 2022
