Today, it is widely accepted that fatigue is one of the most common failure mechanisms in structural components, and pure static failure is rarely observed. Engineering structures are subjected to complex mechanical fatigue loading histories, which cause d ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
This research is in the domain of service science and proposes a method for designing service systems. We consider three levels of design – individual, organizational, and implementation. The proposed design method links these three levels by explicit inpu ...
This master thesis presents a detailed overview of various MEMS accelerometers used as vibrometers in harsh environments. Commercial and scientific literature accelerometers are compared to determine the best accelerometer for said application. This compar ...
Lightweight design demands and complexity requirements of modern high-end structures in aerospace, automotive, sports and bioengineering can be successfully covered by a combination of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) with metallic components. Conventional ...
In the current study, the glass transition and tensile behavior of three different cold-curing two-component epoxies, commercially available as structural adhesives for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening of concrete and steel structures, ...
The Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) is a consistent approach used for shear design of one- and two-way slabs failing in shear and punching shear respectively. The theory is based on a mechanical model allowing to determine the amount of shear force that ...
The rigid-body replacement method is often used when designing a compliant mechanism. The stiffness of the compliant mechanism, one of its main properties, is then highly dependent on the initial choice of a rigid-body architecture. In this paper, we propo ...
Method of designing a refractive surface, comprising providing a refractive object having a refractive surface with an initial geometry, determining a refraction of incident illumination through the refractive surface with the initial geometry to create a ...
This paper discusses on the required level of simplicity for suitable modelling of structural concrete. Traditional equilibrium-based approaches (as strut-and-tie models) are too coarse in some cases, as they account for the cracking state of concrete in a ...
