van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Clerc, G. (author), Mosleh, Yasmine (author), Gard, W.F. (author), Richter, K. (author)Similar to wood, adhesives may exhibit duration of load effects. When loaded for longer periods of time, damage processes in the material may develop, eventually leading to failure. From wood research it is known that load level, temperature and relative humidity have an important influence on this behaviour. In general, higher stress levels,...journal article 2024

Charpentier, G.V.M. (author), Lafont, Ugo (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author)Spacecrafts are subjected to very few mechanical loads but in the future with reusable spacecraft designed for interplanetary explorations and with the repetition of landing and take off, structures will be subjected to significant mechanical loads. The degradation due to space aging conditions, of the adhesive materials used as joints in space...conference paper 2022

Oikonomopoulou, F. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Nijsse, R. (author), Baardolf, G. (author)A pioneering, all transparent, self-supporting glass block facade is presented in this paper. Previously realized examples utilize embedded metal components in order to obtain the desired structural performance despite the fact that these elements greatly affect the facade’s overall transparency level. Undeniably, the oxymoron ‘transparency and...journal article 2014

Akram, M. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Bhowmik, S. (author), Ernst, L.J. (author)The high temperature resistant polymers and metal composites are used widely in aviation, space, automotive and electronics industry. The high temperature resistant polymers and metals are joined together using high temperature adhesives. Polyimide and epoxy adhesives that can withstand high temperature (200 °C-300 °C) are commonly used for...conference paper 2011

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
