Pimpalkar, Adhiraj (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is attributed to higher material deposition rates and medium to large build volumes. Integration of multi-axis (more than three) material deposition kinematics in WAAM can bring a paradigm shift in the metal additive manufacturing industry. The material build-up mechanism employing directed energy...master thesis 2024

Feng, W. (author)Steel jacket support structures for offshore wind turbine towers made of circular hollow sections (CHS) are becoming a competitive solution compared to monopiles in deeper waters. The current limitation to improving the durability and cost-effectiveness of the CHS structures is the low fatigue endurance of their welded joints. Fatigue-driven...doctoral thesis 2024

Feng, W. (author), Pavlovic, M. (author), Koetsier, M. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Debonding crack propagation at the composite-to-steel interface has been found to be an important failure mechanism for wrapped composite joints under static and fatigue loads. Friction at the interface behind the crack tip may deviate fatigue debonding of the joints from the linear-fracture-mechanics behaviour. This paper presents static and...journal article 2023

Smeets, E.T.B. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author)In thermoplastic composite joints with a circular ultrasonic spot weld, the damage growth is located at the interface between the joined components. This means that any damage in these joints is invisible from the outside. This experimental study compares three different in-situ methods to measure the damage growth indirectly. The motivation...journal article 2023
