Souaid, C. (author)This thesis examines the potential of small, low-carbon, (near) zero-energy dwellings as a solution that would both address sustainability challenges and answer to the growing housing shortage in North-West Europe. It adopts a multidimensional outlook that encompasses institutional, social and technical aspects surrounding the dwellings. The...doctoral thesis 2024

Ji, C. (author), Hu, Jiqiang (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Yang, Jinchuan (author), Zhou, Zhengong (author), Sun, Yuguo (author), Wang, Bing (author)This paper aims to illustrate the effect of the impact damage on fatigue behavior of CF/PEEK-titanium hybrid laminates. To achieve this end, a fatigue life model was proposed to predict the S–N curves of the laminates at various initial impact energy levels and stress ratios based on the energy dissipation approach. The energy dissipation...journal article 2024
