Kumar, Abhinav (author), Gupta, Ankit (author), Anupam, K. (author), Wagh, Vivek Pratap (author)In most of developing countries across the world, pavement design is still based on an empirical approach that may result in premature failure or overdesigned pavements. A shift from an empirical to a semi-mechanistic or mechanistic approach is the need of modern time. In this regard, computational tools such as finite element (FE) are being...journal article 2024

Butt, E.N. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Hartkamp, Remco (author)The local conditions inside a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) pore, especially in the electrical double layer (EDL) region, influence the charge transfer reactions and the selectivity of desired CO<sub>2</sub>ER products. Most GDE computational models ignore the EDL or are limited in their applicability at high potentials. In this work, we...journal article 2024

Mayer, Jakob (author), Süsser, Diana (author), Pickering, Bryn (author), Bachner, Gabriel (author), Sanvito, F.D. (author)Net-zero energy system configurations can be met in numerous ways, implying diverse economic effects. However, what is usually ignored in techno-economic and economy-wide analysis are the distinct social-political drivers and barriers, which might constrain certain elements of future energy systems. We thus apply a model ensemble that defines...journal article 2024

Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Raaijmakers, J. (author)District heating systems are considered a feasible heating alternative to replace natural gas to mitigate emissions in cities. However, urban transitions are very complex because energy systems often operate in densely populated areas, which gives rise to all kinds of interdependencies in cities. These interdependencies can result in...journal article 2024

van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Clerc, G. (author), Mosleh, Yasmine (author), Gard, W.F. (author), Richter, K. (author)Similar to wood, adhesives may exhibit duration of load effects. When loaded for longer periods of time, damage processes in the material may develop, eventually leading to failure. From wood research it is known that load level, temperature and relative humidity have an important influence on this behaviour. In general, higher stress levels,...journal article 2024

Leciñana, I. (author), Renart, J. (author), Carreras, L. (author), Turon, A. (author), Zurbitu, J. (author), Tijs, B.H.A.H. (author)The main objective of this paper is to present a delamination benchmark test concept for composite materials that develop non-self-similar delamination in characterization specimens. The non-self-similar delamination is induced by rotating the loading blocks. The simplicity of the test allows for analyzing the loading mode history by...journal article 2024

Ruggeri, J. (author), Strube, J. (author), Dowling, K.M. (author)This paper reports on the creation of a novel 3D Hall-effect sensor based on an anisotropically etched, inverted pyramid structure. Specific biasing and sensing contact configurations are employed to extract the in-plane or out-of-plane components of the magnetic field, eliminating cross-sensitivity by symmetry. Simulations were performed to...conference paper 2024

Zhang, Muchen (author), Li, Zelin (author), Hou, Shuya (author), Deng, Siyu (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author), Zhang, Bin (author)Domino effects are high-impact low-probability events that can have catastrophic consequences. To prevent and to reduce risks related to such events, safety barriers (SBs) are crucial. However, the initiation, propagation, and stopping processes of domino effects are characterized with complexity and uncertainties and hence they are...journal article 2024

Xu, Fuqiang (author), Shi, Yu (author), Song, Xianzhi (author), Wu, Wei (author), Song, G. (author), Li, Shuang (author)The development of hot dry rocks (HDRs) is of great significance to adjusting energy structure, alleviating energy shortage, reducing pollution, etc. Low-permeability granite is the predominant rock type in deep HDRs, making fractures the primary pathways for fluid circulation and heat extraction. The production of HDRs is significantly...journal article 2024

Hoekwater, William B. (author), Ronaes, E.P. (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)Recent studies have shown that tunable magnets (soft permanent magnets) can significantly reduce Joule heating in electromagnetic actuators. To achieve high motion accuracy and repeatability, this article proposes a novel actuator design with a linearized force-flux relation. In prior designs of variable reluctance tunable magnet actuators,...journal article 2024

Li, Jiayu (author), Accardo, A. (author), Liu, Shutian (author)Micro/nanoscale additive manufacturing provides a powerful tool for advanced materials and structures with complex and precise features. For instance, the feature resolution of two-photon polymerization (2PP) can reach 200 nm. At this scale, materials properties can change, and the influence of the size effect cannot be ignored. Therefore, it...journal article 2024
