Eleftheroglou, N. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Loutas, T.H. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (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

Lahuerta, F. (author), Westphal, T. (author), Nijssen, RPL (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)The aim of this work is to study the thickness effect in static and fatigue tests of glass-fibre unidirectional compression coupons. For this purpose, the self-heating effect, the effect of specimen geometry, and the influence of the manufacturing processes have been minimized. A scaled thickness compression coupon has been designed with the...conference paper 2014

Qian, C. (author)In this research, extensive fatigue tests were performed on single glass fibres and composite coupons. Comparison of the test results shows that there is a significant difference between the fibre and composite fatigue behaviour. In order to clarify this difference, a multi-scale micro-mechanical model was developed. This model predicts fatigue...doctoral thesis 2013

Liu, G. (author)Montmorillonite (Mt) nanoclay is a layered silicate mineral with a 2:1-type layer structure, two tetrahedrals sandwiching one octahedral. In recent decades, it is successfully introduced into polymer systems to form polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCN) in which the silicate layers of the Mt are randomly and homogeneously dispersed at a molecular...doctoral thesis 2011

Panjeh Shahi, E. (author)Hollow sections are most suitable for welded connections between members. The welding procedure is fairly straightforward in RHS, because they do not require profiling which is necessary for circular hollow sections. Although many multiplanar and uniplanar joints in structures are present, limited evidence is available for the fatigue behaviour...journal article 1995
