Van Pelt, E.J. (author)Through flow experiments, we determined the rheological properties of both a ferrofluid and a magnetorheological fluid. These rheological properties were affected by the presence of an external, variable, magnetic field. The rheology of the ferrofluid was almost unaffected by the magnetic field. The rheology of the MRF was strongly affected by...bachelor thesis 2009

Khedoe, Prashant (author)Usually, oil fields are developed over three stages. First is the primary oil recovery, where the natural underground pressure is used to drive the oil to the surface. Afterwards is the secondary oil recovery, usually by water flooding or gas injection. However, the water flood yields lower sweep efficiency in heterogeneous reservoirs, contrary...bachelor thesis 2017

Shakeel, A. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Chassagne, C. (author)Mud, a cohesive material, consists of water, clay minerals, sand, silt and small quantities of organic matter (i.e., biopolymers). Amongst the different mud layers formed by human or natural activities, the fluid mud layer found on top of all the others is quite important from navigational point of view in ports and waterways. Rheological...book chapter 2021

Sun, Yubo (author), Ghorbani, Saeid (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Alkali-activated material (AAM) is developed as a green alternative binder to replace Portland cement (PC) in the construction field. However, the large-scale application with AAM concrete is limited so far, with the insufficient knowledge of rheological behavior being a major obstruct. Thixotropy of concrete is of great interest, which can...book chapter 2023

França de Mendonça Filho, F. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Remarkable attention from both academia and industry has been attracted to extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP) during the last decade. Many companies in the Netherlands, e.g., Royal BAM Group, CyBe, Twente Additive Manufacturing, and Bruil, are attempting to implement this technology in practice. 3DCP is the focused digital concrete...book chapter 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Markine, V.L. (author)Railway ballast is normally made of crushed rocks with grading (particle size distributions). Ballast is inevitably suffering from more rapid degradation. Because ballast keeps undergoing and dissipating most of the train loadings, furthermore, the train speed and freight weight are increasing, causing more intensive loadings to ballast. To...book chapter 2022

Tarsi, G. (author), Sangiorgi, C. (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Oliviero Rossi, C. (author)Environmental protection is also pursued by promoting the saving of oil reserves and the proper management of waste through a circular economy. Following this objective, the present study encourages the use of recycled and by-product materials for the production of bituminous binders. The powdered rubber (R) from end-of-life tyres and the re...book chapter 2020

Jing, R. (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Erkens, S. (author)Ageing has a significant impact on the chemical and mechanical behavior of bituminous materials. In this study, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) tests were utilized to investigate the effect of ageing on the chemical and mechanical properties of bitumen. Bitumen films with thickness of 2 mm were...book chapter 2019

Schipper, H.R. (author), Grünewald, S. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author), Raghunath, P. (author), Kok, M.A.D. (author)Free-form buildings tend to be expensive. By optimizing the production process, economical and well-performing precast concrete structures can be manufactured. In this paper, a method is presented that allows producing highly accurate double curved-elements without the need for milling two expensive mould surfaces per single element. The...conference paper 2014

(author)Supramolecular rubbers based on 2-aminoethylimidazolidone and fatty acids with epoxy crosslinks have been shown to self-heal via multiple hydrogen bonding sites. In this work, several tools are used to investigate the molecular mechanisms taking place at the interface to understand cohesive healing in these polymers. The quantification of self...conference paper 2013

(author)The present work explores the massively parallel capabilities of the most advanced architecture of graphics processing units (GPUs) code named “Fermi”, on a two-dimensional unstructured cell-centred finite volume code. We use the SIMPLE algorithm to solve the continuity and momentum equations that was fully ported to the GPU. The benefits of...conference paper 2013

(author)The use of dynamic bonds in self-healing polymeric systems allows restoring of the chemical structure and mechanical properties multiple times. In this respect, the use of ionomers represents a promising approach. The strong interaction between ionic moieties within a non-polar matrix leads to microphase separation and a behavior similar to...conference paper 2013
