Numerical Investigation of Buckling-Driven Mechanisms for Shape Morphing of Composite Wings

Shape morphing has been considered a future direction in the pursuit of maximised aerodynamic and structural efficiency of an aircraft wing by triggering geometric reconfiguration to adapt to specific design requirements or load environments. Researchers have endeavoured to seek for morphing solutions that are simple, predictable, tailorable and...

Numerical Simulations of Full Scale Tests Investigating Effect of Fault Movement on Buried Pipeline

This master thesis investigates the response of buried pipelines under ground-induced deformations through the finite element simulations of a testing program undertaken at TU Delft Stevinlab II as part of the GIPIPE research project.
