Westerbeek, Elise (author)Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) can be used to reduce the amount of reinforcement needed to control crack widths. SHCC has a strain hardening behaviour with dense micro-cracking, which makes it more ductile compared to conventional concrete. Conventional concrete can be used in the non-critical locations. An interface is formed...master thesis 2023

van Dokkum, J.S. (author), Bos, Cornelis (author), Offerman, S.E. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)Modelling dislocation glide over the initial part of a stress–strain curve of metals received little attention up to now. However, dislocation glide is essential to ones understanding of the fundamental relationship between inelastic deformation and the evolution of the dislocation network structure. Therefore, we present a model of...journal article 2023

Civiero, R. (author), Perez-Rafols, F. (author), Nicola, L. (author)The effect of the presence of a passivation layer on a metal rough surface during contact loading is investigated by means of dislocation dynamics simulations. The metal body is modeled as an FCC single crystal with a self-affine rough surface that is either bare, or covered by a thin coating, impenetrable to dislocations. This analysis...journal article 2023

Gu, D. (author), Pan, Jinlong (author), Lukovic, M. (author), He, Jixuan (author)Application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete beams may cause large deflection and crack width, as well as low shear capacity and ductility due to relatively small stiffness of FRP materials. To avoid these unfavorable factors and evaluate the shear behavior of FRP-reinforced structural members, a high-performance...journal article 2022
