Cornelissen, H.A.W. (author)Concentric tensile and flexural tensile fatigue tests were carried out on plain concrete specimens. The effects of pulsating tensile loadings as well as of alternating tensilecompressive loadings were studiep. The results of the constant-amplitude tests have been presented in S-N diagrams and a Goodman diagram. From these results it emerged that...journal article 1984

Van Wingerde, A.M. (author)This work presents the results of experimental and numerical research on the fatigue behaviour of T- and X-joints between square hollow sections of which the brace is welded to the face of the chord, without any additional stiffeners. The work has been carried out in the framework of the CIDECT programme 7K "Fatigue behaviour ofuniplanar joints"...journal article 1992

Romeijn, A. (author)Circular hollow sections are frequently used in structures subjected to fatigue loading such as bridges, offshore structures and cranes. These sections are generally connected by direct welding of the sections to each other. For the design of these welded connections, information is required on the fatigue behaviour. Especially for multiplanar...journal article 1994

Leendertz, J.S. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author)This article describes the behaviour and stress analysis of the crossbeams in orthotropic steel decks with continuous trapezoidal closed stiffeners. The trough stiffener to crossbeam connections, with or without cope holes, influence the behaviour of the crossbeam. The effects can be transferred to effective properties of a beam without cut outs...journal article 1995

Medani, T.O. (author), Molenaar, A.A.A. (author)A simplified procedure for estimation of fatigue characteristics of asphaltic mixes is presented. The procedure requires the determination of the so-called master curve (Le. the relationship between the mix stiffness, the loading time and the temperature), the asphalt properties and the mix composition. It is shown that the master curve does not...journal article 2000

Shabakhty, N. (author)A variety of factors is governing the operational conditions of jack-up platforms. The platforms are moved to different locations, which are causing changes in water depth, environmental and seabed conditions, drilling depths, payload etc. Insight should be gained in how the different factors affect the lifetime in order to be able to make a...doctoral thesis 2004

Alderliesten, R.C. (author)Fibre Metal Laminate Glare consists of thin aluminium layers bonded together with pre-impregnated glass fibre layers and shows an excellent fatigue crack growth behaviour compared to monolithic aluminium. The fibres are insensitive to the occurring fatigue loads and remain intact while the fatigue cracks occur in the aluminium layers. As a...doctoral thesis 2005

De Rijck, J.J.M. (author)The two historical fuselage failures, Comet in 1954 and Aloha in 1988, illustrate that similar accidents must be avoided which requires a profound understanding of the fatigue mechanisms involved, including analytical models to predict the fatigue behavior of riveted joints of a fuselage structure. The scope of the research project covers a...doctoral thesis 2005

Randell, C.E. (author)The investigation of the present thesis is concerned with the fatigue crack growth behaviour of part through the thickness cracks in Glare™ fibre metal laminate (FML) subjected to combined tension and bending. An experimental program was executed which required the development of a novel fatigue specimen, the Milled Open Hole Tension Bending ...doctoral thesis 2005

van der Tempel, J. (author)To meet growing energy demands, the Kyoto protocol and the much desired diversification of supply, wind energy has become a mainstream source of energy in the EU. Cost wise it is already competing with gas fired electricity. In the last decade wind moved offshore to accommodate even more wind power. The offshore wind resource is more abundant...doctoral thesis 2006

Nijssen, R.P.L. (author)Wind turbine rotor blades are subjected to a large number of highly variable loads, but life predictions are typically based on constant amplitude fatigue behaviour. Therefore, it is important to determine how service life under variable amplitude fatigue can be estimated from constant amplitude fatigue behaviour. A life prediction contains...doctoral thesis 2006

de Jong, F.B.P. (author)This dissertation presents the research into renovation techniques for orthotropic steel bridge decks. These techniques are needed to solve fatigue problems in the decks of these bridges, as several fatigue cracks have been detected in the deck structure of these bridges the last decade. A well-known example of fatigue cracks are those observed...doctoral thesis 2007

Lappa, E.S. (author)Recently, a number of high strength and ultra high strength steel fibre concretes have been developed. Since these materials seem very suitable for structures that might be prone to fatigue failure, such as bridge decks, the understanding of the static and fatigue bending behaviour is vital. In order to evaluate the bending behaviour of high and...doctoral thesis 2007

Van der Cammen, J.J. (author)The fatigue life of structural members is an important aspect in the hull design of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO). In contrast to the design for ultimate conditions, a fatigue assessment requires a thorough knowledge of the long-term environment to which the unit is exposed and how the unit is operated to estimate an...doctoral thesis 2008

(author)Linear viscoelastic properties of bituminous binders for short loading times are analyzed using dynamic mechanical analysis methods. Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test with parallel plate (PP) configuration is widely used for this purpose. Due to the complex stress distribution over the cross-section of the test sample, application of this setup...conference paper 2010

Van den Bergh, W. (author)Nowadays, reclaimed asphalt aggregate is often used in new asphalt mixtures. In Flanders, up to 50 % of the binder content is allowed to be originating from reclaimed asphalt. However, the effect of this aged binder on the fatigue and healing properties of the asphalt mixture is questioned. A procedure for the ageing of asphalt mixtures, mortars...doctoral thesis 2011
