Rae, S.I. (author), Bond, I.P. (author), Trask, R.S. (author), Wass, D.F. (author)A new approach to self-healing systems is presented that aims to overcome the inherent drawbacks of conventional liquid resin based healing systems within composites. Finite embedded systems offer limited healing potential for small volume delaminations and as such cannot effectively heal large damage volumes often associated with shear damaged...conference paper 2013

Boba, K. (author), Heath, C. (author), Bond, I.P. (author), Trask, R.S. (author), Wass, D.F. (author)Fibre reinforced polymer composite materials are becoming more widely adopted for high performance industrial applications. The hierarchical nature of these materials offers a unique opportunity to incorporate multi-functionality whilst maintaining their excellent mechanical properties. Ideally, multifunctional composites can be configured to...conference paper 2013

Chen, Z. (author), Xu, Z. (author), Wang, G. (author), Li, H. (author), Chen, B. (author), Zeng, X.C. (author), Tan, L. (author)Crystalline solids are solid materials whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in a highly regulated fashion. Due to lack of rotational freedom in their stacking, they have been known as fragile materials. Even though some efforts have been dedicated to bind or mend defects/cracks in amorphous materials like concrete or polymers...conference paper 2013

Zhang, M. (author), Han, N. (author), Xing, F. (author), Wang, X. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author)For a microcapsule based self-healing system in the cementitious material, a fundamental issue is to find and facilitate a suitable microcapsule system, concerning either the material selection or design and manufacture process. In this study, urea formaldehyde resin is used for the shell of microcapsule, and bisphenol an epoxy resin E-51...conference paper 2013

De Vilder, I. (author), Vanneste, M. (author)Self-healing materials have the capabillity to repair (in an early stage) damage, that would finally lead to material failure. This repair or self-healing occurs with the help of a minor external stimulus or autonomously. Depending on the type of application one or the other is more interesting. Nature is the major source of inspiration for his...conference paper 2013

Pauli, A. (author), Schmets, A.J.M. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Varveri, K. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)Bituminous materials form a class of materials that possess the intrinsic ability to selfheal. This self-healing capability is evidenced by the observation that the service life of these materials in the field exceeds the service life as predicted by standard mechanical laboratory tests. This mismatch between laboratory prediction and field...conference paper 2013

Ollier, R.P. (author), Penoff, M.E. (author), Rodriguez, E.S. (author), Alvarez, V.A. (author)Advances in the study of composite polymeric materials for structural applications have suggested the possibility of an early elimination of cracks to avoid macroscopic damage of the material. Hence, the concept of self-healing composite materials has been introduced to reduce the maintenance cost and frequency, to increase the life in service...conference paper 2013

Boatemaa, L. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)Structural ceramics like alumina are usually brittle and sensitive to flaws leading to a reduction in their mechanical properties. This situation is worsened by machining prior to service and during service by contact, which introduces micro cracks and hidden damages. Crack damage can easily be developed in such ceramics when loaded, which often...conference paper 2013

Perelmuter, M. (author)The subject of this paper is the mathematical modelling of the crack self-healing process. For self-healing modeling of cracked structures the bridged crack approach is used. In the frames of this approach is assumed: 1) there is a crack in a structure after service loading; 2) there are bonds between surfaces of a crack (which are induced by a...conference paper 2013

Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author)Since self-healing of cracks is able to improve the durability of concrete structures, it has attracted much attention in the recent years. As known, in concrete matrix there are large amounts of cement grains remaining unhydrated, particularly in high performance concrete. Further hydration of these unhydrated cement grains has potential to...conference paper 2013
