Ruiz Ripoll, ML (author), Schut, H. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)We have investigated the evolution of damage during fatigue loading in Al-Cu 2024-T3 alloys using the positron annihilation Doppler Broadening (DB) technique. This technique enables us to monitor in a non destructive way, at the atomic and vacancy level, the formation of deformation defects and their interaction with solute atoms at selected...conference paper 2010

Morinière, F.D. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)An analytical and experimental investigation into the low-velocity behaviour of GLARE Fibre-Metal Laminates (FMLs) has been performed. A quasi-static approach was developed to estimate the perforation energy absorbed between the constituents of GLARE. The analysis considered contact area increase during perforation and strain rate effect on...journal article 2012

Sadighi, M. (author), Pärnänen, T. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Sayeaftabi, M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The impact response of fiber metal laminates (FMLs), has been investigated with experiments and numerical simulations, which is reported in this article. Low-velocity impacts were carried out to study the effects of metal type and thickness within FMLs. Glare5-3/2 laminates with two aluminum layer thicknesses and a similar FML containing...journal article 2012

Morinière, F.D. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Tooski, M.Y. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)An experimental study was performed on the repeated low-velocity impact behaviour of GLARE. Damage evolution in the material constituents was characterised with successive number of impacts. Records were correlated with visual inspection, ultrasound C-scan and chemical etching. The stiffness of the plate varied when cumulating the number of...journal article 2012

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)An overview is given of the development of methods for the prediction of fatigue driven delamination growth over the past 40 years. Four categories of methods are identified: stress/strain-based models, fracture mechanics based models, cohesive-zone models, and models using the extended finite element method. It is highlighted that most models...journal article 2013

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The concept of relating fatigue disbond growth to the strain energy release rate (SERR) is critically examined. It is highlighted that the common practise of using only the maximum SERR or only the SERR range is insufficient to correctly characterize a load cycle. As crack growth requires energy, it is argued that growth should be related to the...journal article 2014

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Current prediction methods for growth of disbonds under fatigue loading are generally based on a correlation with either the maximum strain energy release rate (SERR) or the SERR range. This paper highlights some issues with this approach. In particular, it is argued that the maximum SERR or the SERR range alone do not give sufficient...journal article 2014

Amaral, L. (author), Yao, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This work proposes to treat quasi-static mode I delamination growth of CFRP as a low-cycle fatigue process. To this end, mode I quasi-static and fatigue delamination tests were performed. An average physical Strain Energy Release Rate (SERR), derived from an energy balance, is used to characterize the energy released in crack extension. The...conference paper 2015

Yao, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper provides a study on mode I fatigue delamination growth in composite laminates using energy principles. Experimental data has been obtained from fatigue tests conducted on Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimens at various stress ratios. A concept of fatigue fracture toughness is proposed to interpret the stress ratio effect in crack...conference paper 2015

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The available models for the prediction of fatigue crack growth in adhesive bonds rely on the similitude principle. In most cases, one of three similitude parameters based on the strain energy release rate (SERR) is used; i.e. G<sub>max</sub>, (Δ√G)<sup>2</sup>, or ΔG. In all cases it is usually observed that keeping the similitude parameter...journal article 2016

(author)The present study utilizes a state-of-the-art stochastic modeling with structural health monitoring (SHM) data derived from strain measurements, in order to assess the remaining useful life (RUL) online in composite materials under fatigue loading. Non-Homogenous Hidden Semi Markov model (NHHSMM) is a suitable candidate with a rich mathematical...journal article 2016

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Measurement of the energy dissipation during fatigue crack growth is used as a technique to gain more insight into the physics of the crack growth process. It is shown that the amount of energy dissipation required per unit of crack growth is determined by Gmax, whereas the total amount of energy available for crack growth in a single cycle is...conference paper 2016

Yao, L. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Zhao, M (author)Fibre bridging can significantly enhance delamination resistance making the use of a single Paris resistance curve to determine fatigue crack growth insufficient. An empirical Paris-type relation has been developed in a previous study to take fibre bridging into account in fatigue delamination growth. This relation was developed by correlating...journal article 2017

Yao, L. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Zhao, M (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper aims to investigate stress ratio effect on fibre bridging significance in mode I fatigue delamination growth of composite materials. Fatigue resistance curves (R-curves) of different stress ratios are determined and compared with the quasi-static R-curve. The fatigue R-curve of a high stress ratio is similar to the quasi-static...journal article 2017

Amaral, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Due to the lack of fundamental knowledge of the physics behind delamination growth, certification authorities currently require that composite structures in aircraft are designed such that any delamination will not grow. This usually leads to an overdesign of the structure, hampering weight reductions. In real structures, delaminations tend...journal article 2017

Usman, M. (author), Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The effect of temperature on fatigue crack growth in epoxy adhesive bonds was investigated for a range of temperatures from -55 to 80[U+202F]°C. The fatigue crack growth behaviour was characterised using both strain energy release rate (SERR) and by measurements of energy dissipation. It was found that for a given maximum SERR, or a given...journal article 2018
