Saberi, Saeid (author), Nasiri, Hamid (author), Ghorbani, Omid (author), Friswell, Michael I. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)Material properties, geometrical dimensions, and environmental conditions can greatly influence the characteristics of bistable composite laminates. In the current work, to understand how each input feature contributes to the curvatures of the stable equilibrium shapes of bistable laminates and the snap-through force to change these...journal article 2023

Jimenez del Toro, A. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author), Tomás, Flanagan (author), Finnegan, William (author)Laser-assisted tape placement (LATP) and thermoplastic composites (TPCs) pre-impregnated (prepreg) tapes are a promising combination of technologies; given the in-situ capabilities of the TPCs and the high degree of automation achievable with LATP. However, laminate quality, measured as final void content, tends to decrease when increasing...conference paper 2022

Saberi, Saeid (author), Sadat Hosseini, Alireza (author), Yazdanifar, Fatemeh (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)For the last three decades, bistable composite laminates have gained publicity because of their outstanding features, including having two stable shapes and the ability to change these states. A common challenge regarding the analysis of these structures is the high computational cost of existing analytical methods to estimate their natural...journal article 2022

Irshad, Muneeb (author), Khalid, Mehak (author), Rafique, Muhammad (author), Tabish, Asif Nadeem (author), Shakeel, A. (author), Siraj, Khurram (author), Ghaffar, Abdul (author), Raza, Rizwan (author), Ahsan, Muhammad (author)Perovskite materials have gained a lot of interest in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications owing to their exceptional properties; however, ideal perovskites exhibit proton conduction due to availability of low oxygen vacancies, which limit their application as SOFC electrolytes. In the current project, Sm was doped at the B-site of a BaCe0...journal article 2021

Imanian Ghazanlou, Siavash (author), Eghbali, Baitallah (author), Petrov, R.H. (author)The effects of the post-deformation annealing on the microstructural evolution of hot rolled Al7075 matrix composites reinforced with CNTs and GNPs were investigated. The multi-pass hot rolling was applied on the stir cast samples. Annealing was then applied to the composites at 450 °C for 4 h. Microstructural evolution was examined by SEM,...journal article 2021

Naddaf Dezfuli, S. (author)When a bone is fractured, it loses its structural integrity which makes it unable to bear any mechanical load. Therefore, a broken bone must be supported until it regains its strength to handle the body's movement and weight. A surgical procedure is needed to set a fractured bone. This procedure often involves repositioning the bone fragments...doctoral thesis 2018

Lahuerta Calahorra, F. (author)Thick Laminates (above 6mm) are increasingly present in large composites structures such as wind turbine blades. Designs are based on static and fatigue coupon tests performed on 1-4mm thin laminates. However, a thickness effect has been observed in limited available experimental data. For this reason standard experimental data cannot...doctoral thesis 2017

Latifi, M. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)This paper presents a new discontinuous damage model for simulating fatigue-driven delamination in composites. Fatigue models commonly describe crack growth using the Paris law which provides the link between the energy released due to delamination and the crack growth rate. A core issue in implementing the Paris law is to accurately compute the...conference paper 2016

Pant, S (author), Laliberte, J (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Rocha, B. (author)In this paper, a one-sided, in situ method based on the time of flight measurement of ultrasonic waves was described. The primary application of this technique was to non-destructively measure the stiffness properties of isotropic and transversely isotropic materials. The method consists of generating and receiving quasi-longitudinal and quasi...journal article 2016

Fan, J. (author)Recently, research on the impact resistance of transparent hybrid glass-polymer systems (layered and particle-matrix systems) has been conducted at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), showing the potential of these materials for the application in protection concepts. A soft, transparent polyurethane elastomeric...doctoral thesis 2015

Reurings, C. (author), Koussios, S. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Vergote, K. (author)In order to compete with steel, a fibre-reinforced composite exhaust wall with a general-purpose resin system requires an effective but lightweight insulation layer. However a lack of experimental methods for heat transfer from turbulent gas flow to pipe walls lined with a porous insulation layer was discovered in literature. Such a test method...conference paper 2015

Wang, D. (author), Abdalla, M.M. (author)There is a renewed interest in grid-stiffened composite structures; they are not only competitive with conventional stiffened constructions and sandwich shells in terms of weight but also enjoy superior damage tolerance properties. In this paper, both global and local structural instabilities are investigated for grid-stiffened composite panels...conference paper 2014

Lafont, U.L. (author), Van Zeijl, H. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)In this work, we investigate the formation of self-healing systems that are able to recover more than once more than one (mechanical or other physical) functionality. To this aim composites were created consisting of a polysulfide thermoset rubber matrix having intrinsic self-healing properties filled with thermally/electrically conductive...conference paper 2013

Louter, P.C. (author)This dissertation investigates the structural aspects of reinforced glass beams. The concept of these beams, which are intended for building applications, is to provide redundancy even if the glass is broken. This redundancy is obtained through a small reinforcement section that is bonded at the tensile edge of the glass beam. Upon glass failure...doctoral thesis 2011

Louter, P.C. (author), Leung, Calvin (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Vambersky, J.N.J.A. (author)This paper investigates the possibilities of pultruded glass fibre rods as embedded reinforcement in SentryGlas (SG) laminated glass beams. To do so, a series of pullout tests, to investigate the bond strength of the rods to the laminate, and a series of beam tests, to investigate the post-breakage response of the beams, have been performed....conference paper 2010

Kullaa, J. (author)The tensile constitutive behaviour of fibre-reinforced brittle materials can be extended to two or three dimensions by using the finite element method with crack models. The three approaches in this study include the smeared and discrete crack concepts and a multi-surface plasticity model. The tensile relation represents the crack normal stress...journal article 1997
