Conradie, Willem (author), Palmigiano, A. (author), Zhao, Z. (author)In recent years, unified correspondence has been developed as a generalized Sahlqvist theory which applies uniformly to all signatures of normal and regular (distributive) lattice expansions. A fundamental tool for attaining this level of generality and uniformity is a principled way, based on order theory, to define the Sahlqvist and...journal article 2019

Chen, J. (author), Ye, G. (author)Cracking is inevitable during the service period of concrete structures. They are preferential ingression channels for aggressive ions. It is difficult or even impossible to repair all the cracks due to the limitation of practical conditions. However, cracks have potentials to self-heal due to further hydration and carbonization. The effect of...journal article 2019

Ma, X. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)The aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties of cement paste specimens by both experimental and numerical methods. Firstly, the specimens subjected to uniaxial tensile loading were studied experimentally. Afterwards, numerical investigation was carried out based on the experimental observations. Two types of specimens...journal article 2019

Lao, L. (author), van Wee, B. (author), Ashraf, I. (author), van Someren, J. (author), Khammassi, N. (author), Bertels, K.L.M. (author), Almudever, Carmen G. (author)Quantum error correction (QEC) and fault-tolerant (FT) mechanisms are essential for reliable quantum computing. However, QEC considerably increases the computation size up to four orders of magnitude. Moreover, FT implementation has specific requirements on qubit layouts, causing both resource and time overhead. Reducing spatial-temporal costs...journal article 2019

Romero Rodriguez, C. (author), Chaves Figueiredo, S. (author), Deprez, M. (author), Snoeck, D. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Recently the concept of crack self-sealing has been investigated as a method to prevent degradation and/or loss of functionality of cracked concrete elements. To obtain self-sealing effect in the crack, water swelling admixtures such as superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are added into the cementitious mix. In order to design such self-sealing...journal article 2019

Hänninen, Timo S. (author), Lorist, E. (author)We study the domination of the lattice Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator by sparse operators in the setting of general Banach lattices. We prove that the admissible exponents of the dominating sparse operator are determined by the q-convexity of the Banach lattice.journal article 2019

Veraar, M.C. (author), Yaroslavtsev, I.S. (author)In this paper we consider local martingales with values in a UMD Banach function space. We prove that such martingales have a version which is a martingale field. Moreover, a new Burkholder–Davis–Gundy type inequality is obtained.book chapter 2019

Dai, Yue (author)A series of accelerated corrosion tests were done by SGS INTRON (commenced by Combinatie Aanpak Maastunnel, constructor of the Maastunnel project) to investigate for a proper repair material for the deteriorated concrete floor in the Maastunnel at Rotterdam. Five types of fiber reinforced mixtures with different tensile behavior ranging from...master thesis 2018

van Vliet, R. (author)To study interaction between ice and sloping structures, numerical models are required that can predict failure of the ice based on physical ice properties, deformations and structural shape and size. An important element of these models is the set of failure criteria that is applied, as failure limits the loading of the ice on the structure....doctoral thesis 2018

Ma, X. (author)Chemical degradation of cementitious materials is a serious threat to the durability and performance of concrete structures. External sulfate attack is one of the situations that may cause gradual but severe damage. Sulfate ions present in seawater, rivers, groundwater and industrial effluent can penetrate into the hardened concrete, and react...doctoral thesis 2018

Zhang, H. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This work presents a study of stochastic fracture properties of cement paste at the micro length scale based on a combination of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) technique and discrete lattice type fracture model. Thirty virtual specimens consisting of pore, outer hydration products, inner hydration products and anhydrous cement particles were...journal article 2018

Wang, Shang-Jen (author)This thesis investigates intrinsic frustrated magnetic systems on an insulating square lattice. The frustrated systems were successfully engineered from magnetic iron atoms on top of an insulating square c(2x2) reconstruction of nitrogen on Cu3Au(100) (copper-gold) surface. Vertical atom manipulation was used to position the magnetic atoms...master thesis 2018

Heide-Jørgensen, Simon (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Budzik, Michal K. (author)This paper addresses the fracture behaviour of bonded composite plates featuring a kissing bond along the crack growth path. Double cantilever beam (DCB) experiments are carried out under a displacement controlled loading condition to acquire the load response. The experimental data are collected and analysed analytically for specimens with...journal article 2018

Mazaheripour, Hadi (author), Faria, Rui (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Granja, José (author), Azenha, Miguel (author)The development of the elastic properties of a hardening cement paste results from the microstructural evolution due to cement hydration. The elastic behaviour of cement paste can be predicted by a combination of the hydration model and micromechanical analysis, which originates from a microstructural representative volume where the elastic...journal article 2018

(author)In small-pore zeolite catalysts, where the size of the pores is limited by eight-ring windows, aromatic hydrocarbon pool molecules that are formed inside the zeolite during the Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) process cannot exit the pores and are retained inside the catalyst. Hydrocarbon species whose size is comparable to the size of the zeolite...journal article 2018

Nelissen, Wiebe (author)Externally triggered lengthening or shortening (actuation) of one or more members in a lattice material can be used to achieve macroscopic shape changes. The three main attributes looked for in 2D lattice materials to be deemed suitable for actuation are in-plane isotropy, high specific elastic properties and limited energy requirement for...master thesis 2018

Lukovic, M. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)Different analytical models exist to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete members. Generally, each of these shear strength models consists of a formulation based on certain underlying theory and fitted model coefficients. The model fitting parameters are usually established from the comparison with test data. Hence, the predictive...conference paper 2018
