Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Galavi, Vahid (author)Experimental studies show that initial fabric and its evolution under different stress paths highly influence soil behaviour. Even though different sample preparation methods create different inherent anisotropies and cause different material responses, the same initial fabric structure under different stress paths also results in different...journal article 2023

Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Korff, M. (author)In this paper, a state-dependent semi-micromechanical framework for anisotropic sands is proposed. A simple constitutive model based on critical state theory and bounding surface (BS) plasticity is used to describe idealized micro-level soil behaviour, and a slip theory based multilaminate framework employed to create a link between the micro...conference paper 2023

Liu, K. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author)In a material under stress, grain boundaries may give rise to stress discontinuities. Stress localization is crucial to materials' behavior such as segregation, precipitation, and void nucleation. Here, the stress state at a grain boundary perpendicular to a uniaxial external stress is studied systematically. The grain boundary with the most...journal article 2023

(author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author), Popovich, V. (author)Superelastic metallic materials possessing large recoverable strains are widely used in automotive, aerospace and energy conversion industries. Superelastic materials working at high temperatures and with a wide temperature range are increasingly required for demanding applications. Until recently, high-temperature superelasticity has only...journal article 2023

Mohandas, Naveen (author)Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology that has been gaining a lot of interest as it allows to produce parts with complex geometries and eliminate expensive tooling. Unlike the conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed to make the final component; AM part is manufactured layer-wise as...master thesis 2022

Sun, M. (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular atrial activity, which increases the risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. The mechanisms of AF are complicated. Although various mechanisms were proposed in previous research, the precise mechanisms of AF...doctoral thesis 2022

Nilsen, Lars (author)Morphogenesis of living organisms could be used as inspiration to digitally augment the reinforcement of structures. The design space in terms of fiber orientation was enlarged to facilitate more complex patches with improved performance that can be 3D printed using a ghost ply optimisation. Simulations performed on optimized open-hole tensile...master thesis 2022

Ghosh, D. (author), Donselaar, Rick (author)The identification of arsenic-contamination hotspots in alluvial aquifers is a global-scale challenge. The collection and inventory of arsenic concentration datasets in the shallow-aquifer domain of affected alluvial basins is a tedious and slow process, given the magnitude of the problem. Recent research demonstrates that oxbow-lake...journal article 2022

Renaud, G.G.J. (author), Salles, Sébastien (author)In this chapter, we first review the reasons why conventional ultrasonography fails to image the interior of bones. Next we show our recent work on imaging a cortical bone layer with ultrasound. Revealing the shape of the cortex of a bone, in particular its thickness, is of interest for evaluating bone strength. In addition we describe how...journal article 2022

Wang, Jian (author), Qin, Hongbo (author), Chen, Junfu (author), Yang, Daoguo (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this study, first-principles calculations were utilized to investigate the lattice constants, elastic constants, and mechanical properties of gold–copper (Au–Cu) intermetallic compounds (IMCs), including AuCu3, AuCu, and Au3Cu. We also verified the direction dependence of the Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of the...journal article 2022

Masaylo, Dmitriy (author), Igoshin, Sergei (author), Popovich, Anatoly (author), Orlov, Alexey (author), Kim, Artem (author), Popovich, V. (author)Metal additive manufacturing (AM) by Laser-Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED) usually results in the formation of textured columnar grains along the build direction, leading to anisotropic mechanical properties. This can negatively affect the intended application of the product. Anisotropy can be eliminated by modifying the material through an...journal article 2022

Siskins, M. (author)This thesis studies higher-order material properties* and effects in van der Waals crystals, such as anisotropic Young’s modulus, magnetostriction, and non-trivial thermal expansion effects near magnetic and electronic phase transitions, that can affect the nanomechanical motion ofmultilayer two-dimensional (2D) material membranes. These...doctoral thesis 2021

Tripuraneni, Sree Rama Teja (author)Energy transition extends the range of geological settings and physical processes to be taken into account in subsurface reservoir modelling. Many of these applications consider essentially anisotropic reservoir or require advanced gridding that can not be resolved consistently by conventionally used Two Point Flux Approximation (TPFA). In this...master thesis 2021

Eres-Castellanos, Adriana (author), Hidalgo Garcia, J. (author), Morales-Rivas, Lucia (author), Caballero, Francisca G. (author), Garcia-Mateo, Carlos (author)The mechanisms driving variant selection phenomena in ausformed bainitic microstructures are not fully controlled yet. Previous results are not congruent among them, as they cannot be explained by the same rule. In this work, we aimed to understand the mechanisms governing variant selection in a medium carbon-high silicon steel subjected to...journal article 2021

Tian, B. (author), Heringa, J.R. (author), Bouwman, W.G. (author)Small angle scattering is frequently applied to study the anisotropy in complex soft matter systems. One emerging application is to probe the multi-scale structure in food matrices; while few models are available to describe the anisotropic scattering pattern in a quantitative, yet simple manner. For this purpose, anisotropy is introduced to...journal article 2021

(author), Garcia-Mateo, Carlos (author)The bainitic ferrite plate thickness is the main parameter that controls the strength of this type of microstructures. Such thickness has been proved to mainly depend on the austenite yield strength, the driving force for the transformation and the transformation temperature. However, no research has focused on how these parameters evolve...journal article 2021
