(author)Gelatine adhesives, also known as animal glues, are collagen-based water-soluble biopolymers derived from vertebrate connective tissues. One of the various fields in which gelatine adhesives are widely used is the conservation of cultural heritage such as decorated furniture and panel paintings. It is observed that, with time, the failure in...journal article 2024

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

Chasan, R. (author), Baron, L.I. (author), Kozowyk, P.R.B. (author), Langejans, G.H.J. (author)Birch bark tar was used extensively throughout human history. While later ceramic-based production technologies are known, prehistoric aceramic techniques leave little to no archaeological evidence. Experimental tar production attempts to fill this gap and suggest potential techniques. However, their archaeological relevance is unclear....journal article 2024

Khoshmanesh, S. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)Wind turbine blades carry the risk of impact damage during transportation, installation, and operation. Such impacts can cause levels of damage that can propagate throughout the structure compromising performance and safety. In this study, the effect of impact damage on fatigue damage propagation in test specimens representative of a spar cap...journal article 2024

(author)The transition of bacteria from an individualistic to a biofilm lifestyle profoundly alters their biology. During biofilm development, the bacterial cell-cell adhesions are a major determinant of initial microcolonies, which serve as kernels for the subsequent microscopic and mesoscopic structure of the biofilm, and determine the resulting...journal article 2024

CFRP/Steel joint bonded with extremely tough adhesive achieve much higher strength and ductility. However, tough adhesives are not developed for the construction industry and their cost may question the...journal article 2023

Van Vuure, Aart Willem (author), Mosleh, Yasmine (author), Vanderbeke, Jan (author), Verpoest, Ignaas (author)Silk fibers combine good stiffness and strength with a very high strain to failure and are as such highly promising to realize composites with high impact resistance. It is shown that to realize this potential it is quite beneficial to employ matrix materials of high strain to failure, particularly thermoplastic matrices. High impact...journal article 2023

Pérez-Ràfols, Francesc (author), van Dokkum, J.S. (author), Nicola, L. (author)Viscoelasticity and roughness are among the possible causes of the adhesive hysteresis displayed by soft contacts. Viscoelasticity causes an increased effective work of adhesion due to stiffening of the contact, while roughness is responsible for elastic instabilities. Herein, we explore the interplay between viscoelasticity and roughness by...journal article 2023

Khoshmanesh, S. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)In this paper, a new indicator to localize fatigue damage in a fibre glass composite structure, i.e. spar cap to shear web thick adhesive joint of a wind turbine blade, is presented. This indicator is based on the effect of damping on the phase of the mode shapes of the structure. When fatigue damage occurs, damping increases in the defective...journal article 2023
