van Dooren, E.J.G.C. (author)This thesis proposes a framework to address the design process in design education. Building upon the assumption that teachers, being professional designers, do not discuss the design process in the architectural design studio and do not have a vocabulary to do so, five generic elements or anchor points are defined which represent the basic...doctoral thesis 2020

(author)This work concerns the fatigue behavior at three different temperature conditions (−40, 20, and 80°C) and the addition of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) into a carbon-fiber reinforced poly(ether-imide) composite. The incorporation of MWCNT into the composite increased the tensile strength and Young's modulus by up 5 and 2%, respectively....journal article 2020

(author)Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a preferred method of foam injection, which is a promising means of enhanced oil recovery. Liquid injectivity in a SAG process is commonly problematic. Our previous studies suggest that the liquid injectivity can be better than expected due to the existence of a collapsed-foam region formed during the gas...journal article 2020

Janssen, C. (author), Jonkman, Arend (author), Kimhur, Boram (author), Kramer, J. (author)Covid-19 and especially the extreme measures of the lockdown in response to the virus, have exposed existing housing inequalities. They revealed how, in the 21st century, households still live in poor and insecure housing conditions exposing them to increased physical and mental health risks. In the Netherlands, where we as authors are based,...report 2020

Rajabzadeh, Aydin (author)Compared to metals, composite materials offer higher stiffness, more resilience to corrosion, have lighter weights, and their mechanical properties can be tailored by their layup configuration. Despite these features, composite materials are susceptible to a diversity of damages, including matrix cracks, delamination, and fibre breakage. If...doctoral thesis 2020

Pfaff, N.M. (author)Biofilms are the prevalent form of bacterial life on earth. Bacteria aggregate and embed themselves in a hydrogel matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), often spread over surfaces in thin films. The EPS matrix of biofilms is getting more and more attention from scientists for several reasons. On the one hand, it has been identified...doctoral thesis 2020

Hens, R. (author)In the past decades, molecular simulation has become an important tool for studying phase and reaction equilibria. In this dissertation, we work on improvements of the Continuous Fractional Component (CFC) method in Monte Carlo simulations. We also develop a software package for molecular simulations that uses this method. In Chapter 2, we...doctoral thesis 2020

(author), Scarselli, Gennaro (author), Murphy, Neal (author), Ivanković, Alojz (author), Benedictus, R. (author)A high-power UV-irradiation technique was proposed for the surface treatment of PPS and PEEK composites, aiming to achieve good adhesion with epoxy adhesives. The composite substrates were rapidly UV-irradiated for a duration of between 2–30s, and then bonded using an aerospace film adhesive to produce joints. Tensile lap-shear strength and...journal article 2020
