1. On the Design and Life Prediction of Transmission Belts Made of Elastomer Composites
Abstract : Next to gear transmissions, belt transmissions are the most important mechanical transmissions. Today, belt design and development is based on extensive application tests of belts in the product development process. There is a need for theory development and design support systems. READ MORE

2. Macroscale Modelling of 3D-Woven Composites: Inelasticity, Progressive Damage and Final Failure
Abstract : Composites with 3D-woven reinforcement have been slowly making their way into different industrial applications. The interlacement of yarns, not only in-plane but also through-thickness, means that in many applications 3D-woven composites can outperform their laminated counterparts. READ MORE

3. Modelling of Inelastic Effects in Metal Sheets and Identification of Material Parameters
Abstract : The continuum modelling of the macroscopic behaviour of metallic sheets and the identification of corresponding material parameters for models selected are dealt with in the thesis. Thermodynamics with internal variables provides a framework for the derivation of the models. READ MORE

4. Modelling of Forming and Welding in Alloy 718
Abstract : The reduction of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are currently a key factor for the aviation industry due to major concerns about climate change and more restrictive environmental laws. One way to reduce both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions is by significantly decreasing the vehicle’s weight while increasing engine's efficiency. READ MORE

5. Modelling of Concrete Subjected to Cyclic Loading
Abstract : The infrastructure of today depends heavily on concrete structures. Most of these structuresare subjected to repeated loads, known as fatigue or cyclic loads: the loads weakenthe structure. As this phenomenon is of high cost to society, a deeper understanding ofthe deterioration process of cyclic loading would be beneficial. READ MORE
