Liu, K. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author)In a material under stress, grain boundaries may give rise to stress discontinuities. The stress state at grain boundaries strongly affects microscopic processes, such as diffusion and segregation, as well as failure initiation, such as fatigue, creep, and corrosion. Here the general condition of incompatibility stress at grain boundaries is...journal article 2024

Yu, Taoyi (author), Khaloian-Sarnaghi, Ani (author), Seeber, Franziska (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)When curved glulam beams are subjected to bending, tension perpendicular to grain is introduced. In this work, Monte-Carlo analysis is conducted to study the influence of the annual-ring orientation of individual board on stress concentration in the radial direction. A virtual cutting program is developed which simulates the sawing processes...journal article 2023

Li, Shen (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Brennan, Feargal (author)Offshore or drydock inspection performed by trained surveyors is required within the integrity management of an in-service marine structure to ensure safety and fitness for purpose. However, these physical inspection activities can lead to a considerable increase in lifecycle cost and significant downtime, and they can impose hazards for the...journal article 2022

Khaloian, Ani (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Before timber boards can be used for engineering applications, they need to be strength graded. This step is currently done based on visual or machine grading methods. Each approach may face problems such as frequent measurement (human) errors or problems in dynamic measurements due to missing density values, respectively. To increase...conference paper 2021

Hoogenboom, P.C.J. (author), Van Weelden, C. (author), Blom, C.M.B. (author)In this paper stress concentrations are studied around circular cylindrical openings or voids in a linear elastic continuum. The loading is such that a uniform shear stress occurs in the continuum, which is disturbed by the opening. The shear stress is in the direction of the centre axis of the opening. The stress distribution has been...journal article 2010

Leendertz, J.S. (author)This study concerns the behaviour of the closed stiffener (trough) to crossbeam connection in orthotropic steel bridge decks and in particular, the connection where a continuous closed stiffener passes through the crossbeam. For this connection, the crossbeam in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour is analysed. The nominal stresses for unit loads on...doctoral thesis 2008

van Rijn, J.C.N. (author)The stress distribution in the vicinity of a notch is investigated as a first step towards a more fundamental understanding of the blunt notch behaviour of fibre metal laminates. The applicability of several analytical methodologies for determination of the stress distribution in the vicinity of a notch in a finite width plate is assessed in...report 1994

van Rijn, J.C.F.N. (author)The blunt notch behaviour of metal laminates has mostly been described using concepts which were developed to describe the blunt notch behaviour of metals. In the current work the applicability of fracture models which were developed for composites to describe the blunt notch behaviour of metal laminates is assessed. It is shown that three...report 1992

Laméris, J. (author), Minderhoud, P. (author)The mechanical behaviour of mechanically fastened double lap carbon-epoxy joints has been investigated both by experiments (static tests) and by analysis. Several fastener types and joint geometries has been investigated. In the experimental programme the Fibredux 6376/T400H material was used. Two methods to analyze mechanically fastened...report 1989

Lof, C.J. (author)Computer programs are described to be used for fracture control purposes. Crack growth lifetimes can be predicted for plane cracks in 3-D structures. Values for stress intensity (K-) distributions at crack fronts are derived from data being available from literature for a restricted number of simple configurations. For arbitrary configurations...report 1986

Schijve, J. (author), Jacobs, F.A. (author)Fatigue tests were carried out on Redux and FM 123/5 bonded specimens at various stress levels, temperatures (RT to 65 C) and low and high test frequencies. Observations were made on the type of failure (bond line failure or sheet failure) and the significance of the adhesive squeezeout for crack nucleation. An analysis of the data and a...report 1984

Schijve, J. (author), Jacobs, F.A. (author)Several simple crack stopping methods were evaluated In fatigue crack propagation tests on 2024-T3 Alclad sheet specimens. After precracklng until a crack of 40 mm was obtained crack stoppers were Installed and the fatigue test was continued. Crack stoppers Installed In stop holes were: a blind rivet, a hard driven rivet, a heavily tightened...report 1984

de Koning, A.U. (author)In this report formulas are derived for a description of the deformation and stress fields near holes expanded by cold working. The results are compared with values obtained experimentally and calculated using the finite element method. The model of the material includes linear hardening and a yielding behaviour according to Tresca's criterion....report 1982

Lof, C.J. (author)An application of linear elastic fracture mechanics to 3-dimensional crack growth prediction was developed in two phases. In the first phase finite element techniques for accurate stress intensity (S.I.) calculation were evaluated and the Virtual Crack Extension (V.C.E.)-method was selected for further work. In the second phase the process of...report 1981

Bartelds, G. (author)The applicability of finite element methods to the analysis of cracks was studied in three phases. In the first phase the available methods for the calculation of elastic stress intensity data for cracks of arbitrary shape using finite element techniques were evaluated. The indirect energy release method using virtual crack front variation was...report 1979

't Hart, W.G.J. (author)Fatigue tests on unidirectional Ca/ep composite material have been performed to investigate whether previous fatigue loading did influence the residual static strength. Residual strength tests were carried out on (0, ± 45)2s and (± 45)2s laminates, while for the (O, ± 45)2s laminate the influence of previous tensile fatigue loading on the...report 1977
