Lu, T. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)Ring-like structures are very commonly used in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. Typical examples of such structures are components in turbomachinery, compliant gears, conventional pneumatic tires and more recent non-pneumatic tires, to name a few. In this paper, a ring on elastic foundation is considered. The foundation, modelled as...conference paper 2020

Lu, T. (author), Li, Z. (author), Huang, H. (author)In recent years more and more attention has been given to autogenous shrinkage due to the increasing use of high-performance concrete, which always contains supplementary materials. With the addition of supplementary materials-e.g., fly ash and blast furnace slag-internal relative humidity, chemical shrinkage and mechanical properties of...journal article 2020

Lu, T. (author), Li, Z. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)In recent decades, several simulation models have been proposed to predict autogenous shrinkage of cementitious systems. In most of these models, however, only the elastic deformation caused by self-desiccation of the hydrating cement paste is considered. In fact, cement paste is not an ideal elastic material. Also the time-dependent...journal article 2020

(author), Liu, Xuan (author), Xue, Yunfei (author), Dehm, Gerhard (author)In conventional metallic materials, strength and ductility are mutually exclusive, referred to as strength-ductility trade-off. Here, we demonstrate an approach to improve the strength and ductility simultaneously by introducing micro-banding and the accumulation of a high density of dislocations in single-phase high-entropy alloys (HEAs). We...journal article 2020

Wang, H. (author), Yang, Jun (author), Lu, Guoyang (author), Liu, X. (author)Self-healing of asphalt concrete (AC) is highly dependent on temperature, and its healing capacity increases with elevated temperatures. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of microwave heating on promotion of self-healing in AC. With this purpose, two types of AC specimens (neat AC without additives and conductive...journal article 2020

Lu, X. (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Tan, V. B.C. (author), Tay, T. E. (author)The interaction between matrix cracks and interface delamination is a major failure mechanism in composite laminates and has been a subject of active research in recent years. Although coupled failure behaviour of composite laminates between matrix cracks and delamination has been observed in experiments, accurate modelling of this phenomenon...conference paper 2020

Li, Z. (author), Yao, X. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Lu, T. (author), Ye, G. (author)Alkali-activated slag and fly ash (AASF) materials are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional Portland cement. Despite the superior mechanical properties of AASF materials, they are known to show large autogenous shrinkage, which hinders the wide application of these eco-friendly materials in infrastructure. To mitigate the...journal article 2020

Faragau, Andrei B. (author), Mazilu, Traian (author), Metrikine, A. (author), Lu, T. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)Transition zones in railway tracks are areas with considerable variation of track properties (e.g., foundation stiffness) which may cause strong amplification of the response, leading to rapid degradation of the track geometry. Two possible indicators of degradation in the supporting structure are identified, namely the wheel-rail contact...journal article 2020

(author)Sodium-ion batteries have captured widespread attention for grid-scale energy storage owing to the natural abundance of sodium. The performance of such batteries is limited by available electrode materials, especially for sodium-ion layered oxides, motivating the exploration of high compositional diversity.

(author)A magnon, the collective excitation of ordered spins, can spontaneously radiate a travelling photon to an open system when decaying to the ground state. However, in contrast to electric dipoles, magnetic dipoles by magnons are more isolated from the environment, limiting their radiation and coherent communication with photons. The recent...journal article 2019

Lu, T. (author)Concrete is a brittle composite material that easily fractures under tension. Due to the fact that the early-age deformation of the concrete member is restrained by adjoining structures, cracking can occur throughout the concrete prior to application of any load. The cracks would provide preferential access for aggressive agents penetrating in...doctoral thesis 2019

Sugano, K. (author), Lu, Simo (author)The hydrological cycle crosses three environments: the geosphere, the biosphere, and the technosphere. The geosphere is the collective name for lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. The technosphere is the part of environment composed by wide variety of technological artefacts and the biosphere is composed of all ecosystems. These spheres can...report 2019
