The "classic" solution for the support of a translating lockgate, the wheelonrail support, has relatively high construction as well as inspection and maintenance costs. An alternative support which has previously been developed for use in the Prins WillemAlexander lock is the socalled "hydrosupport", a hydrostatic thrust bearing that slides on...

Simone, A. (author)
The foundations of a safe structural design lie on the understanding of failure processes of engineering materials and in their correct representation. In a numerical context, failure representation in engineering materials can be pursued either in a continuous or in a discontinuous setting. Both approaches can model certain failure modes, but...

Numerical solution methods for fluid-structure interaction are of great importance in many engineering disciplines. The computation of fluid-structure interactions is challenging on account of their free-boundary and multi-physics character. The different length and time scale discretization requirements of the fluid and structure subsystems...

Munts, E.A. (author)
The Variational Multiscale (VMS) method has appeared as a promising new approach to the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. The key advantage of the VMS approach is that it allows different subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling assumptions to be made at different ranges of the resolved scales. Typically, in the VMS method, SGS modeling is...

Pannachet, T. (author)
Accuracy of a finite element solution depends greatly on the spatial discretisation of the problem domain. The more refined/enriched discretisation provides better accuracy but also requires more computational cost. For modelling of quasi-brittle failure, the process zone where failure takes place can be very small, thus it is very cost...

The simulation of rubber-like material behaviour by means of the finite element method has been described in this study. Proper material models for the numerical description of static hyper-elasticity, the ideal Mullins effect and the Mullins effect with permanent deformation were proposed, respectively. The second focus of this study was the...

Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) are nowadays used in many applications, such as airbag accelerometers and inkjet printer heads. With the number of applications growing, the need for advanced numerical tools to aid in the design of MEMS increases. The development of such tools is far from trivial, since numerical modelling of MEMS poses...

Pedersen, R.R. (author)
A safe design of civil engineering concrete structures must include dynamic loading conditions. However, the knowledge on crack patterns and tensile failure strength of concrete material as a function of the dynamic loading is not sufficiently understood to accurately predict the risks and consequences of accidents. Concrete is a rate-dependent...

De Boer, A. (author)
Introduction (chapter 1) In analysis software models the infrastructural constructions are often reduced to geometrical linear and surface models (plane stress and shell models). The selection of a model much depends on the speed of the analysis process and the total processing time. The increased computer power has boosted the visualisation of...

Van der Meer, F.P. (author)
There is no state of the art computational model that is good enough for predictive simulation of the complete failure process in laminates. Already on the single ply level controversy exists. Much work has been done in recent years in the development of continuum models, but these fail to predict the correct failure mechanism in cases where...

Microsystems are very small sensors and actuators, manufactured with the same technology as computer chips. Well known applications of these machines are the acceleration sensors in the Wii game console and the iPhone. At the micrometer length scales of microsystems the physical forces behave different when compared to devices operating in the...
