Wan, Xiaomei (author), Shen, Chen (author), Zhao, Tiejun (author)Ultra-high toughness geopolymer composites (UHTGC) were fabricated based on the matrix of binder composed of alkali-activated fly-ash and granulated blast furnace slag and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres in this research. The tensile behaviour and fracture toughness of UHTGC are investigated on both macro and microscales experimentally and...conference paper 2021

Derelioglu, Z. (author), Ponnusami, S.A. (author), Turteltaub, S. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)Crack healing in ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) may be realized by embedding Mo-Si based particles in the thermal barrier coating. Upon cracking, these particles are exposed to oxygen that permeates through the top layer and the crack gap is filled with SiO2 which is produced from oxidation at high temperature. Due to its amorphous...conference paper 2013

Tsangouri, E. (author), Van Tittelboom, K. (author), Hillewaere, X.K.D. (author), Van Hemelrijck, D. (author), De Belie, N. (author), Du Prez, F.E. (author)Nowadays the self-healing process efficiency in loaded structural materials is evaluated by studying the damage mechanisms. Based on fracture mechanics theories, the resistance to damage and the cracking recovery can be an indication of healing performance. Experimentally, the cracking behavior is quantified by measuring the fracture energy of...conference paper 2013

Pingkarawat, K. (author), Wang, C.H. (author), Varley, R.J. (author), Mouritz, A.P. (author)This paper presents an investigation into the delamination toughening and selfhealing properties of carbon-epoxy laminates using through-thickness stitches of mendable thermoplastic (poly[ethylene-co-(methacrylic acid)]). The effect of increasing stitch density on the improvement to the interlaminar fracture toughness and healing of mode I...conference paper 2013

Deiterding, R. (author), Cirak, F. (author), Mauch, S.P. (author), Meiron, D.I. (author)The fluid-structure interaction simulation of detonation- and shock-wave-loaded fracturing thin-walled structures requires numerical methods that can cope with large deformations as well as topology changes. We present a robust level-set-based approach that integrates a Lagrangian thin shell finite element solver with fracture and fragmentation...conference paper 2006
