Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)Long-term outdoor stress corrosion tests were executed on overaged 7000 series aluminium alloy plate and forgings. Plate material of the alloys 7010-T7651, 7010-T7451 and 7075-T7351 exhibited an excellent resistance to SCC. PM alloy X7091-T7E69 forgings combined a higher strength with superior SCC resistance as compared to IM alloy forgings. The...report 1988

Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)Long-term outdoor exposure tests were done to investigate the effect of cooling rate on corrosion and stress corrosion properties of extruded rods of the high strength aluminium alloys 2024-T4, 2023-T6, 7075-T6 and 7075-T73. The 2024 alloy exhibited a high susceptibility to SCC irrespective of best treatment and cooling rate, whereas 7075-T6 was...report 1990

Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Boogers, J.A.M. (author)Outdoor corrosion and stress corrosion tests were conducted on Al-Li plate and sheet materials for 3 and almost 5 years respectively. The results can be summarized as follows: Corrosion: Peak aged XXXA-T651 (8090-T651) exhibited greater exfoliation corrosion resistance than 2024-T351 and 2324-T39 plate. 2091-T3 and 2024-T3 sheet were found to be...report 1990

Both, K. (author)From experimental evidence, it was concluded that existing rules for the calculation of the behaviour of fire-exposed composite beams and slabs often lead to conservative solutions. Furthermore, the range of common applications had grown beyond the limits of existing calculation rules. It was felt that existing rules lacked a fundamental basis,...journal article 1996

Carbon, C.C. (author), Michael, L. (author), Leder, H. (author)Consumer product design needs design evaluation for obtaining information about consumers’ preferences and liking to optimize market success. Such evaluations are usually conducted in simple single-shot studies where consumers only once have to evaluate, for instance, the attractiveness of a design. However, innovative designs often break common...journal article 2008

Zalk, D.M. (author), Paik, S.Y. (author), Swuste, P. (author)Control banding (CB) strategies offer simplified processes for controlling worker exposures in the absence of firm toxicological and exposure information. The nanotechnology industry is an excellent candidate for applying such strategies with overwhelming uncertainties of work-related health risks posed by nanomaterials. A recent survey shows...journal article 2009

Brinkman, W.P. (author), Hattangadi, N. (author), Meziane, Z. (author), Pul, P. (author)Cognitive-behavioural therapy is often used for anger treatment. An important element of this therapy is exposure to anger evoking stimuli. In this paper virtual reality is put forward as a technology that can effectively create these stimuli by exposing patients to social scenes that include anger stressors such as aggressive dialogues with...conference paper 2011

Ter Heijden, N. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Research on Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) to treat social phobia is not new. Still few studies focus on creating an elaborate conversation between the patient and characters in a virtual environment. This study focuses on techniques to run a semi-scripted conversation between virtual characters and a patient considering both manual and...journal article 2011

Busscher, B. (author), De Vliegher, D. (author), Ling, Y. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Using virtual reality technology for exposure therapy to treat patients with anxiety disorders is attracting considerable research attention. The ability to monitor patient anxiety level helps therapists to set appropriate anxiety arousing situations. Physiological measures have been put forward as objective indicators of anxiety levels. Because...journal article 2011
