Li, Z. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)In this paper, Composite Repair System (CRS) is applied to repair the circumferential internal surface cracked steel pipes subjected to bending. The Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is quantitatively analysed by means of numerical simulations, and the crack growth rate is predicted by using the Paris’ law. First, the three-dimensional finite...journal article 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)Adding steel fibers to concrete improves the capacity in tension-driven failure modes. An example is the shear capacity in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams with longitudinal reinforcement and without shear reinforcement. Since no mechanical models exist that can fully describe the behavior of SFRC beams without shear reinforcement...journal article 2019

Celada-Casero, Carola (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)There is sufficient experimental evidence to propose that the formation kinetics of athermal martensite directly depends on the austenite grain structure from which the martensite forms. Yet, this dependence is frequently ignored. The present study investigates the role of the prior austenite grain size (PAGS) in the martensitic...journal article 2019

Ayenampudi, S. (author), Celada-Casero, Carola (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Medium-Mn Quenching & Partitioning (Q&P) steels have been recently considered as potential candidates for the 3rd generation advanced high-strength steels.

Mahmoud, H.G.A. (author)The electrochemical response of carbon steel in chloride-free or chloride-containing 0.1 M and 0.9 M NaOH, in the presence of 0.016 wt.% NMCS, is the subject of this work. The NMCS exhibited a negative (in 0.1 M NaOH) and positive (in 0.9 M NaOH) zeta-potential. This determined altered steel electrochemical response, improved overall,...journal article 2019

Hajizad, O. (author), Kumar, A. (author), Li, Z. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)Wheel–rail contact creates high stresses in both rails and wheels, which can lead to different damage, such as plastic deformation, wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF). It is important to use high-quality steels that are resistant to these damages. Mechanical properties and failure of steels are determined by various microstructural...journal article 2019

(author), Herbig, M. (author), Brück, E.H. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author)When metals are mechanically loaded at elevated temperatures for extended periods of time, creep damage will occur in the form of cavities at grain boundaries. In the present experiments it is demonstrated that in binary iron-tungsten alloys creep damage can be self healed by selective precipitation of a W-rich phase inside these cavities. Using...journal article 2019

(author)Purpose: In the last decades, the demand and use of renewable energies have been increasing. The increase in renewable energies, particularly wind energy, leads to the development and innovation of powerful wind energy converters as well as increased production requirements. Hence, a higher supporting structure is required to achieve higher wind...journal article 2019

Tran, Anh Tuan (author), Bernspång, Lars (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Rebelo, Carlos (author), Da Silva, Luís Simõ ões (author)This paper describes a study of the behaviour of cold-formed high strength steel angles. Thirty-six specimens with different cold-formed angles (90°, 100°, 120°, 140°, 160°, and 170°) and different thicknesses (4 mm and 6 mm) were considered. The initial geometric imperfections of the specimens were determined using the 3D laser scanning...journal article 2019
