The utilization of epoxy-based polymers as bituminous modifiers in developing durable and long-lasting pavement structures have gained increasing interest over the last years showing evidence of high performing materials (1-8). It has been noticed that the addition of epoxy-based modifier into bitumen lead to materials with superior...

In the future energy system, hydrogen as an energy carrier will play a role of increasing importance. Electrical energy can be converted into hydrogen locally by electrolysers and stored for a relatively long period. Then, the hydrogen can be used by final consumers like the transportation system or industries, as conceptually illustrated in Fig...

Hot-pressing can be an attractive fabrication method that enables the forming of hybrid materials like thermoset based fibre metal laminates. However, the process simulation on press forming requires accurate material characterization and boundary conditions to facilitate part design for a defect-free component. In order to improve the overall...

Microwave heating is a promising heating technology for the maintenance, recycling and deicing of pavement structures. Many experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the microwave heating properties of asphalt mixtures in the laboratory. However, very few studies investigated the application of microwave heating on asphalt...

Oxidative aging is a complex phenomenon in bitumen and its fundamental understanding is needed to optimize paving materials with long-lasting characteristics. This research reports on a diffuse-reaction model for predicting the oxidation of bituminous binders over time and under different conditions. As known, the oxidation of bitumen is...

In-depth understanding of the temperature effect on oxidative aging in epoxy-asphalt blends is needed to enable accurate predictions on material response through their service life. Details of the significance of developing prediction models and tools on oxidative aging of pavement materials are presented in a companion paper (Apostolidis et al....

During oxidative aging, oxygen reacts with active molecules present in bitumen producing polar compounds, principally ketones and sulfoxides, and increasing in the portion of asphaltenes. In general, oxidation reactions in bitumen yields to change its generic chemical composition and finally its colloidal structure deteriorating the physico...

Fundamental models should be developed and utilized in order to facilitate the chemo-mechanical design of modified binder systems for paving applications but not only. Especially, the fact that the incorporation of new chemical substances used as bio-based modifiers or alternative binders is attracting great interest to replace traditional...

Point cloud is made up of a multitude of three-dimensional (3D) points with one or more attributes attached. Point cloud is the third data paradigm in addition to the well-established object (vector) and gridded (raster) representations, since point cloud data can be directly collected, computed, stored, and analyzed without converting to other...

In quasibrittle materials the addition of specific microstructural features such as porosity can lead to departure from linear elastic behaviour prior to maximum force, followed by graceful failure. A simple but extreme example is reticulated vitreous carbon foam, with its opencell structure of brittle ligaments connected in a threedimensional...

An accurate estimation of the rudder forces and moments is essential for manoeuvrability prediction. Previous research has shown that ships have different manoeuvring performance in deep and shallow water. Before considering the rudder’s contribution to shallow water manoeuvring, it is meaningful to analyse the shallow water effects on the...

In order to reach the required manoeuvrability, inland vessels often use twin rudders, but the interaction effects are poorly understood. To achieve a proper configuration, this paper applies 2D RANS simulations to analyse the interaction effects on the twin-rudder hydrodynamics. Various twin-rudder configurations with different profiles and...

In Home Healthcare, a huge number of telemonitoring pilots have been executed. Positive indications suggest reduction of health problems and support in helping patients to gain control. For healthcare providers, significantreductions in healthcare costs have been estimated. However,” despite this large amount of pilot studies and the positive...

Superconducting synchronous generators (SCSGs) are being proposed for 10-MW direct-drive wind turbines, because of their advantages of low weight and compactness. So far, however, there has not been a commonly accepted design philosophy of SCSGs and various possibilities with many tradeoffs remain for study. Partially SCSGs are considered a...

Understanding seismic changes in the subsurface is important for reservoir management and health, safety and environmental (HSE) issues. Typically the changes are interpreted based on the time shifts in seismic time-lapse (4D) data, where sources are at the surface and receivers are either at the surface or in a borehole. With these types of...

In this work ageing protocols for asphalt and mastics were developed and investigated; i.e representation of the field ageing and their acceleration degree. Here it was aimed to age laboratory prepared specimen analogous to naturally aged materials in the field and compare their material properties. Such simulation of ageing is of importance in...

To accurately match a finite-impulse response (FIR) graph filter to a desired response, high filter orders are generally required leading to a high implementation cost. Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) graph filters can alleviate this problem but their design is more challenging. In this paper, we focus on ARMA graph filter design for a...
