Qin, Guojin (author), Zhang, Zhenwei (author), Hou, Xiangqin (author), Lu, Hongfang (author), Huang, Y. (author), Wang, Yihuan (author)In this work, a 3D finite element (FE) based model was developed to assess the condition of an underground hydrogen transmission pipeline containing a corrosion defect under combined internal pressure and soil movement-induced axial compression. The use of mechanical properties of X100 pipeline steel under different hydrogen charging time...journal article 2023

Andrade Borges, Emilia (author)This thesis addresses the topic of ongoing (excessive) deformations observed in balanced cantilever prestressed concrete bridges all over the world. Many authors attribute this behavior to the time-dependent phenomena of creep and shrinkage. Balanced cantilever bridges are classified as creep-sensitive structures, and for that reason, a detailed...master thesis 2023

Wildenborg, Sander (author)In this work, it is demonstrated that kirigami deformation behaviour can be controlled by tailoring the anisotropic material that is used to create the kirigami structure. The ultimate goal is to find a relationship between the material pattern and the deformation behaviour of the kirigami structure. An anisotropic thermoplastic polyurethane...master thesis 2023

van Tunen, Rick (author)Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects almost 1% of newborns. Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) CHD affects 20% of newborns and includes anomalies such as tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with or without pulmonary atresia, transposition of the great vessels, and truncus arteriosus. All these anomalies require RVOT reconstruction. Prosthetic heart...master thesis 2023

Wang, Chieh (author)This study deals with the challenge of warpage in power modules, vital components in the rapidly expanding electric and hybrid-electric vehicle industry. The variations in temperature during manufacturing, resulting in significant warpage changes, contribute to device cracks, delamination, and reduced reliability.<br/>The primary focus is...master thesis 2023

Khan, Afaq (author)The mechanical failure of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement system can stem from various factors, with one notable cause being the unnatural kinematics and loading observed in prosthetic joint function. Given that,. the primary objective of the study was to investigate whether including functionally graded materials (FGMs) at the site...master thesis 2023

Talsma, Maaike (author)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint degeneration disease resulting in joint pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Among patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), OA incidence is increased. Articular cartilage (AC) degeneration is irreversible, therefore prevention and early detection are essential. Specifically, the...master thesis 2023

Cheng, L. (author)In the past two decades, offshore wind has emerged as a new source of renewable energy. This highlights the requirement for the utilisation of larger and more efficient offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The connections used in support structures of OWTs are critical to ensure the excellent structural performance of OWFs. An alternative option is...doctoral thesis 2023

Stavridou, EVDOKIA (author)Although relevant information regarding the curtain walls structural damage state is available, hardly any data referring to the seismic loading effect on the overall façade performance is found in the literature. The present research attempts to assess the unitised curtain walls seismic performance by identifying the occurring damage mechanisms...master thesis 2023

Kluwer, Thomas (author)Global warming has caused an increasing demand for renewable energy. Currently, 50% of the renewable energy is provided by wind and solar combined. However, these renewable energy sources are highly volatile. Wave energy converters can provide a stable renewable energy source. Previous research has contributed to understanding various combined...master thesis 2023

Moolenaar, Jet (author)Introduction: Tibial fracture healing complications occur frequently with reported non-union rates up to 23%. Preoperative patient-specific finite element (FE) modelling of fracture fixation may help to minimize these complications. However, developing such models requires labour-intensive work including (manual) segmentation of bones from...master thesis 2023

Weiler, Marnix (author)During ‘float-out’ installation of export cables, the cable is pulled to shore while floating, supported by inflatable floaters. Understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour of these cable-floater-systems (CFS’s) is important, to be able to relate the hydraulic environment to the cable stresses and determine the maximum allowed hydraulic conditions...master thesis 2023

Hartman, Illona (author)In the field of structural and geotechnical engineering, a uniform approach to predict and model foundation settlements during the design phase of a high-rise building appears to be missing. In the Netherlands, pile foundations of tower structures underlain by compressible soil layers are challenging to model due to different stiffness and load...master thesis 2023

Li, Z. (author), Liu, Haoyuan (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Pisano, F. (author)Offshore monopile foundations are exposed to misaligned wind and wave loadings, which are respectively dominated by (nearly) static and cyclic load components. While the response of these systems to unidirectional cyclic loading has been extensively investigated, only a few studies have been devoted to the realistic case of misaligned static...journal article 2023

D’Amore, Simone (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Ciurlanti, Jonathan (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)In the last decades, recent earthquakes have further highlighted the high vulnerability of non-structural components. Post-earthquake damage due to building envelope, equipment and building contents can lead to substantial economic losses in terms of repair costs and daily activity interruption (downtime). Moreover, non-structural damage can...journal article 2023

Shi, Z. (author), Su, Q. (author), Kavoura, Dr. Florentia (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)To establish the tensile constitutive model of ultra-high performance concrete containing coarse aggregate (CA-UHPC), monotonic and cyclic uniaxial tensile tests for CA-UHPC with fiber volume fractions of 2.5% and 2.0% were conducted. Test results showed that CA-UHPC exhibits approximately linear stress-strain relation up to the tensile strength...journal article 2023

Wang, H. (author), Wang, L. Z. (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Hong, Y. (author), He, B. (author)Piles have been widely used as foundations to resist lateral loads. For the design of a laterally loaded pile, one of the most important inputs is the ultimate soil resistance (p<sub>ult</sub> = K<sub>ult</sub>Dσv<sup>′,whereK</sup>ult is the ultimate lateral soil resistance coefficient, D is the pile diameter, and σv<sup>′</sup> is the...journal article 2023

(author)Bond deterioration is one of the major consequences of reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this paper, a two-phased numerical modelling approach is presented that aims to determine the constitutive behaviour (bond–slip) at the reinforcement-concrete interface at a certain corrosion level. The novelty of the...journal article 2023

Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author), Korff, M. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Natural soil deposits may possess a highly anisotropic nature. The fabric anisotropy of soils which is induced during the soil formation process can lead to severe variation in field scale responses. Although the influence of fabric on the response of sands is well known and several advanced constitutive models have been developed to account for...conference paper 2023
