Reijmer, J.J.G. (author), Palmieri, P. (author), Groen, R. (author)compositional variation of Pleistocene carbonate gravity deposits from the Exuma Sound Basin, Bahamas, was determined. Two types of gravity deposit were present in the cores of ODP Leg 101, Site 632A, i.e., calciturbidites and calcidebrites. In analogy with earlier studies, the compositional variations in the calciturbidites could be linked to...journal article 2012

Jongejans, E. (author)Recently several studies have been performed at the TUDelft on the use of the generalized finite element method (GFEM) to model fiber reinforced composite materials in a two dimensional space. The GFEM model allows a large number of arbitrarily placed fibers to be taken into account. The fibers are placed on top of the ordinary mesh and...master thesis 2012

Boogaerdt, N.M. (author)Geological data is often compositional (i.e. positive and sum to unity). The constrained nature of compositional data can lead to severe problems during data analysis. Transforming from the simplex to centered log-ratio (CLR) space can solve these problems, converting constrained non-linear processes into unconstrained linear processes ...master thesis 2012

Koerselman, J.R. (author)A design methodology for composite space enclosures was generated. As a result a panel of an electronics housing structure, as part of a general satellite traversing both GEO and LEO, was designed and optimized. A mass saving of 18% was achieved over a conventional aluminum panel, while assuring structural integrity for acceleration loads,...master thesis 2012

Van den Ende, D.A. (author)The piezoelectric effect, which causes a material to generate a voltage when it deforms, is very suitable for making integrated sensors, and (micro-) generators. However, conventional piezoelectric materials are either brittle ceramics or certain polymers with a low thermal stability, which limits their practical application to certain specific...doctoral thesis 2012

Papanastasis, P. (author)This thesis is a scouting on the possibilities of combining P.C.M.s and G.F.R.P.s into one transparent element, which could upgrade the aesthetical values of a non-transparent P.C.M.-G.F.R.P. system. The contribution of this research is twofold, providing: 1) An analysis framework for further exploration on the combination of a P.C.M. and a G.F...master thesis 2012

Bristogianni, T. (author)Subject of this thesis is the development of a lightweight, low-cost and eco-friendly composite structural module, out of a self reinforced Polypropylene (srPP) skin and a core of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles. The module can be easily mass-produced, transported, assembled and disassembled, and able to be fully recycled after the end...master thesis 2012

Van den Ende, D.A. (author), Van Kempen, S.E. (author), Wu, X. (author), Groen, W.A. (author), Randall, C.A. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)Piezoelectric composites were prepared by dielectrophoretic alignment of high aspect ratio piezoelectric particles in a thermosetting polymer matrix. A high level of alignment was achieved in the cured composite from a resin containing randomly oriented high aspect ratio particles. Upon application of an electric field during curing of the resin...journal article 2012

Manea, F. (author), Motoc, S. (author), Pop, A. (author), Remes, A. (author), Schoonman, J. (author)The aim of this study is to prepare and characterize two types of silver-functionalized carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite electrodes, i.e., silver-decorated CNF-epoxy and silver-modified natural zeolite-CNF-epoxy composite electrodes suitable for ibuprofen detection in aqueous solution. Ag carbon nanotube composite electrode exhibited the best...journal article 2012

Pieters, W. (author), Banescu, S.E. (author), Posea, S. (author)We know that several chemicals can be combined to form explosives. Therefore, we do not want these to end up in airplanes together. Similarly, in the architecture of complex systems, it is often possible to combine the results of several system services to acquire illegitimate benefits or disrupt operation. For example, in what is called...conference paper 2012

Kim, D.S. (author), Kim, M.K. (author), Kim, S.H. (author), Choo, Y.W. (author)The investigation on the seismic behavior of dams becomes crucial but is limited due to lack of experimental or field data. This paper aims to experimentally simulate the seismic behavior of three types of dams; earth-core rock-fill dam (ECRD), concrete-faced rock-fill dam (CFRD), and composite dam which combines concrete dam and CFRD. A series...conference paper 2012

Vermaas, P.E. (author)In this paper, a proof is given that in design methods, the relation between technical functions and their subfunctions in functional descriptions of technical products cannot be analysed as a formal relation of parthood. This result holds for design methods in which transformations of flows of energy, material and signals are accepted as...journal article 2012
