(author), Yuan, Yue (author)Concern for crack initiation and growth under cyclic loading as well as unstable crack propagation and tearing in the ship and offshore structures. Due attention shall be paid to the suitability and uncertainty of physical models and testing. Consideration is to be given to practical application, statistical description and fracture control...conference paper 2018

Garzon, J. (author), Gupta, V. (author), Simone, A. (author), Duarte, C.A. (author)The generalized FEM (GFEM) has been successfully applied to the simulation of dynamic propagating fractures, polycrystalline and fiber-reinforced microstructures, porous materials, etc. A-priori knowledge about the solution of these problems are used in the definition of their GFEM approximation spaces. This leads to more accurate and robust...journal article 2012

Molenaar, J.M.M. (author)The investigation was undertaken to support innovations in the field of asphalt pavement design and material selection, and to be able to evaluate or judge the risk of failure and cost-effectiveness of newly developed paving materials in order to justify their application. To be able to determine the risk of failure and cost-effectiveness,...doctoral thesis 2004

Remmers, J.J.C. (author), De Borst, R. (author), Needleman, A. (author)A numerical method for crack growth is described in which the crack is not regarded as a single discontinuity that propagates continuously. Instead, the crack is represented by a set of overlapping cohesive segments. These cohesive segments are inserted into finite elements as discontinuities in the displacement field by exploiting the partition...journal article 2003

Jacobs, M.M.J. (author), Hopman, P.C. (author), Molenaar, A.A.A. (author)The crack growth mechanism in asphalt concrete (Ac) mixes is studied. In cyclic tests on several asphaltic mixes crack growth is measured, both with crack foils and with cOD-gauges. It is found that crack growth in asphaltic mixes is described by three processes which are parallel in time: cohesive crack growth in the mortar, adhesive crack...journal article 1995

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author), Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)New impetus to continued use of alximinium alloys in major structural areas of aircraft has been given by the development of aluminium-lithium alloys. However, qualification of these new materials for service requires extensive testing and evaluation, preferably in international cooperative programmes. The evaluation of aluminium-lithium alloys...report 1989

Bartelds, G. (author), Nederveen, A. (author)Sandwich panels provided with a central saw cut in one face layer were fatigue tested to study crack growth up to a predetermined length. Static residual strength was determined subsequently. Crack growth rates and residual strength are compared with similar data for face sheet material. An increased resistance against both stable fatigue crack...report 1973
