Müller, B. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author)The development of fiber metal laminates to multi-functional materials by embedding heater elements in the laminate extends their field of application. Fiber metal laminates with embedded heater elements are likely to be used for the de- and anti-icing of leading edges in aircraft as they combine structural and heating functions. Hence, those...conference paper 2015

Postseismic GRACE and GPS observations indicate a rheology contrast above and below the Sumatra slabBroerse, D.B.T. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Simons, W.J.F. (author), Govers, R. (author), Vermeersen, L.L.A. (author)More than 7 years of observations of postseismic relaxation after the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake provide an improving view on the deformation in the wide vicinity of the 2004 rupture. We include both Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) gravity field data that show a large postseismic signal over the rupture area and GPS...journal article 2015

Madadi, I. (author), Tohidian, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)A complex quadrature charge-sharing (CS) technique is proposed to implement a discrete-time band-pass filter (BPF) with a programmable bandwidth of 20–100 MHz. The BPF is part of a cellular superheterodyne receiver and completely determines the receiver frequency selectivity. It operates at the full sampling rate of up to 5.2 GHz corresponding...journal article 2015

Skandali, M. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Koussios, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The purpose of this study is to simulate the two-dimensional, transient and continuous heat transfer during the thermoset Automated Tape Laying (ATL) process. The heat transfer analysis is coupled with a cure kinetics model of the thermoset prepreg tapes used for the process. Unlike most studies, the process is modelled in a Lagrangian framework...conference paper 2015

Koutras, N. (author), Fernandez Villegas, I. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)In this work, the effect of temperature exposure on the strength of resistance welded joints is analysed. Glass fibre polyphenylene sulphide (GF/PPS) laminates were joined using the resistance welding technique and a stainless steel metal mesh as the heating element. Single lap shear tests at temperatures between 20°C and 150°C were performed to...conference paper 2015

Poznic, M. (author)The notion of scientific representation plays a central role in current debates on modeling in the sciences. One or maybe the major epistemic virtue of successful models is their capacity to adequately represent specific phenomena or target systems. According to similarity views of scientific representation, models should be similar to their...journal article 2015
