Sweers, Korné (author)Thermal oxidation in silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) induces stress in the oxide film and silicon. Such residual stresses are usually unwanted, as it can influence performance or damage components. It can also cause unwanted plastic deformation in silicon, as was observed in previous research. Currentmeasurement methods inMEMSare...master thesis 2018

Jolink, Chris (author)Pile driving can cause plastic deformation to the head of the driven pile, which in turn can lead to connectivity issues when the superstructure is installed. Moreover, plastic deformation reduces the estimated service life of the structure. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the strain levels during the installation in order to detect if the...master thesis 2018

van Gemert, Sander (author)When drilling for oil or gas, wells are typically constructed using a conventional or telescopic well design. After a section of the well has been drilled, a steel casing (or liner) is inserted into the hole preventing the collapse of the hole. The next well section has a smaller diameter as it’s casing must pass through the previously installed...master thesis 2017

Kondo, E. (author)The mechanical behaviour of granular materials under high plastic deformation is quite complex due to the fact that the granular assembly consists of discrete or discontinuous non-uniform particles. Each of the particles has its own mechanical behaviour, its micro-properties thus the soil mass behaviour is complex and in some cases the classical...master thesis 2010

Bergwerf, R. (author)This master thesis deals with the research to the effects of severe plastic deformation on the development of the microstructure and the mechanical properties of three low-alloyed high-carbon steels. The steels investigated include a hypo-eutectoid, an eutectoid and a hyper-eutectoid steel containing 0.61, 0.81 and 1.22 weight-percent carbon....master thesis 2007
