Wong, W.J. (author), Walters, C.L. (author)High-strength steel beams are known to have less plastic rotation capacity than beams with lower yield strengths. This has been related to the decreased strain-hardening ability of high-strength steels, and various rules and standards for steel structures stipulate maximum limits on the allowable yield-to-tensile strength ratio ((Formula...journal article 2023

Xu, M. (author), Shin, D. (author), Sberna, P.M. (author), van der Kolk, R.J.H. (author), Cupertino, A. (author), Bessa, M.A. (author), Norte, R.A. (author)For decades, mechanical resonators with high sensitivity have been realized using thin-film materials under high tensile loads. Although there are remarkable strides in achieving low-dissipation mechanical sensors by utilizing high tensile stress, the performance of even the best strategy is limited by the tensile fracture strength of the...journal article 2023

Pluymakers, Anne (author), Bakker, R.R. (author), Ter Steege, F.B. (author), Versluis, B. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Many rocks contain planar heterogeneities, in the form of open fractures, veins and/or stylolites, but scarce data exist on how strength and fracture pattern formation is affected by the presence of a singular planar heterogeneity in an otherwise uniform matrix. The mechanics of stylolite-bearing and/or fractured limestone is of interest to...journal article 2023

Tabakovic, A. (author), Faloon, Christopher (author), O’Prey, Declan (author)Conductive alginate capsules encapsulating a bitumen rejuvenator (HealRoad capsules) has demonstrated good healing abilities in pure bitumen and mortar mixes. HealRoad capsules can efficiently heal damage via induction heating. They also release the encapsulated rejuvenator, thereby rejuvenating aged bitumen. These findings indicate that...journal article 2022

Zhang, X. (author)As a primary component of the marine propulsion systems, ship propellers have been traditionally made of nickel-aluminium-bronze (NAB) or manganese bronze (MB). With the development of fibre reinforced composite materials, the advanced plastic materials are considered to be applied in the manufacturing of marine propellers. Compared to...doctoral thesis 2021

Yousefi, Armin (author), Serjouei, Ahmad (author), Hedayati, R. (author), Bodaghi, Mahdi (author)In the present study, the fatigue behavior and tensile strength of A6061-T4 aluminum al-loy, joined by friction stir spot welding (FSSW), are numerically investigated. The 3D finite element model (FEM) is used to analyze the FSSW joint by means of Abaqus software. The tensile strength is determined for FSSW joints with both a probe hole and a...journal article 2021

Sunnardianto, G.K. (author), Bokas, George (author), Hussein, A.H.A. (author), Walters, C.L. (author), Moultos, O. (author), Dey, P. (author)A combined density functional theory and molecular dynamics approach is employed to study modifications of graphene at atomistic level for better H<sub>2</sub> storage. The study reveals H<sub>2</sub> desorption from hydrogenated defective graphene structure, V<sub>222</sub>, to be exothermic. H<sub>2</sub> adsorption and desorption processes...journal article 2021

(author), Schlangen, E. (author)Soft inclusions, such as capsules and other particulate admixtures are increasingly being used in cementitious materials for functional purposes (i.e. self-healing and self-sensing of concrete). Yet, their influence on the fracture behaviour of the material is sometimes overlooked and requires in-depth study for the optimization of mechanical...conference paper 2019

Zhang, H. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)The aim of this paper is to investigate the fracture performance of cement paste at micro scale by both experimental and numerical methods. Micro cubic specimens with length of 100 µm were fabricated by precision cutting, grinding and micro-dicing, and tested by splitting with a wedge tip mounted on a nano-indenter. A nominal splitting...journal article 2018

Zhang, H. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Cement paste possesses complex microstructural features including defects/pores over a range of length-scales, from nanometres to millimetres in size. As a consequence, it exhibits different behaviour under loading depending on the size. In this work, cubic specimens in a size range of 1: 400 were produced and tested by a one-sided splitting...journal article 2018

Šavija, B. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Excessive cracking can be a serious durability problem for reinforced concrete structures. In recent years, addition of microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) to concrete has been proposed as a possible solution to crack formation related to temperature gradients. However, the addition of PCM microcapsules to cementitious materials...journal article 2017

Tabakovic, A. (author), Schuyffel, L.S. (author), Karač, Aleksandar (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper explores the potential methods for evaluating a healing system for asphalt pavements. The healing system under investigation involves compartmented calcium-alginate fibres encapsulating an asphalt binder healing agent (rejuvenator). This system presents a novel method of incorporating rejuvenators into asphalt pavement mixtures....journal article 2017

Tollenaar Gonzalez, R.N. (author)Waterways and lakes in low-lying delta areas require regular dredging for maintenance. Reuse of dredged sediments has been proposed for various applications. However, directly after dredging the physical characteristics of these sediments make them generally unsuited for immediate reuse. They are often placed on land, where they are allowed to...doctoral thesis 2017

Le, H.T. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Grass covers have been applied as an effective measure for protecting river levees and sea dikes. We conducted experiments to show how roots considerably improve the shear strength of soil on dike slopes. Roots of 1-year-old Bermuda and Carpet grass may increase the total shear strength of up to 20 kPa. Exposed to severe overtopping flow, dike...journal article 2016

Mohajeri, M. (author)Hot mix asphalt recycling has become common practice all over the world since the 1970s because of the crisis in oil prices. In the Netherlands, hot recycling has advanced to such an extent that in most of the mixtures more than 50% of reclaimed asphalt (RA) is allowed. These mixtures with such a high RA content are produced in a batch plant to...doctoral thesis 2015

In practice the investigated material is applied as a cement treated road base/subbase course. The granular aggregates used in this material were crushed recycled concrete and masonry. This results in six different types of phases in the mixture:...conference paper 2013

Janssen, G.C.A.M. (author), Tichelaar, F.D. (author), Visser, C.C.G. (author)Stress in hard films is the net sum of tensile stress generated at the grain boundaries, compressive stress due to ion peening, and thermal stress due to the difference in thermal expansion of the coating and substrate. The tensile part due to grain boundaries is thickness dependent. The other two contributions are not thickness dependent....journal article 2006
