Gillebaart, E. (author), De Breuker, R. (author)Low-fidelity isogeometric aeroelastic analysis has not received much attention since the introduction of the isogeometric analysis (IGA) concept, while the combination of IGA and the boundary element method in the form of the potential flow theory shows great potential. This paper presents a two-dimensional low-fidelity aeroelastic optimization...conference paper 2015

Alderliesten, R.C. (author)This paper discusses similitude parameters for predicting fatigue damage growth, and demonstrates that proper principles exploiting the strain energy release could have improved our knowledge on fatigue damage growth. The paper demonstrates how the original Stress Intensity Factor concept introduced by Irwin has been introduced inconsistently...conference paper 2015

Lancelot, P.M.G.J. (author), Sodja, J. (author), Werter, N.P.M. (author), De Breuker, R. (author)This paper summarises the design of a gust generator and the comparison between high fidelity numerical results and experimental results. The gust generator has been designed for a low subsonic wind tunnel in order to perform gust response experiments on wings and assess load alleviation. Special attention has been given to the different design...conference paper 2015

Sauvage, L.L.F. (author)Das Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam beherbergt nach dem Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Genf die zweitgrößte Sammlung von Pastellgemälden von Jean-Etienne Liotard (1702-1789). Im Hinblick auf die Wiedereröffnung des Museums 2013 wurde im Jahr 2007 ein großes Restaurierungs- und Forschungsprojekt zu den Pastellen initiiert. Die 23 Werke Liotards wurden aus...conference paper 2015

Sauvage, L.L.F. (author), Gombaud, C. (author)In 2007 the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam initiated a conservation and research project on framed pastels by the Swiss artist Jean-Etienne Liotard. For the first time, 21 pastels were unframed and available for documentation, examination and technological analysis. In order to reconstruct both his workshop practice and his palette, materials used by...conference paper 2015

Antonelli, V. (author), Terzi, A. (author), Ockels, W. (author), Beukers, A. (author)The present paper presents the structural design of the Superbus. First the overall requirements are described and analyzed, with respect to loads (static and dynamic), stiffness and functional requirements. In order to fulfil the relative targets, two different solutions have been defined and analyzed in the preliminary design. From those, the...conference paper 2007

Boer, R.J. (author), Pelt, M. (author), Schoemaker, C. (author), Borst, M. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)The development of large commercial aircraft such as the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787, together with military aircraft such as the Lockheed Martin F35, with a large share of composite components of up to 50%, make it necessary for attention to be focussed on the development of new and effective maintenance strategies. In this paper, we address...conference paper 2015

Liu, P. (author), Yao, L. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method, which allows the econstruction of three dimensional depth-resolved images with microscale resolution. Originally developed for biomedical diagnostics, nowadays it also shows a high potential for applications in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT). This work demonstrates...conference paper 2015

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

Armanini, S.F. (author), Polak, M. (author), Gautrey, J.E. (author), Lucas, A. (author), Whidborne, J.F. (author)With the increased use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for civil and commercial applications, there is a strong demand for new regulations and technology that will eventually permit for the integration of UAS in unsegregated airspace. This requires new technology to ensure sufficient safety and a smooth integration process. The absence of a...conference paper 2015

Priesnitz, K. (author)For many joining applications, adhesive bonding is the favoured method. It provides the ability to join dissimilar materials such as metals and plastics. Adhesive bonds can be formed over large flange areas subsequently increasing the overall stiffness of the assembly. In some cases, however, the bonding process can lead to distortions, i.e....doctoral thesis 2015
