To assess the probability of a volcanic eruption during an unrest period, we must understand
magma-chamber rupture and dyke propagation to the surface, as well as dyke arrest at …

The state-of-the-art in modelling the influence of corrosion damage on the ultimate strength
of aged steel-plated maritime platforms is reviewed. This critical review outlines the …

Aircraft performance is influenced significantly both by aeroelastic phenomena, arising from
the interaction of elastic, inertial and aerodynamic forces, and by load variations resulting …

A device is described for generating electrical power from mechanical energy in a vibrating
environment. The design utilises an electromagnetic transducer and its operating principle is …

A two‐dimensional model for biofilm growth and detachment was used to evaluate the effect
of detachment on biofilm structures. The detachment process is considered to be due to …

We describe what is to our knowledge the first use of fiber Bragg gratings written into three
separate cores of a multicore fiber for two-axis curvature measurement. The gratings act as …

This thesis presents the design, construction, control and evaluation of a novel force
controlled actuator. Traditional force controlled actuators are designed from the premise …

In this work, a topology optimization parallel-computing framework is developed to design
support structures for minimizing deflections in Laser Powder-bed Fusion produced parts …

This paper reports on an experimental study that was conducted to measure the leakage
exponents of different types of leak openings (holes, corrosion holes, and longitudinal and …

Structural Analysis of Polymeric Composite Materials studies the mechanics of composite
materials and structures and combines classical lamination theory with macromechanic …
