Numerical analysis of concrete beams retrofitted with carbon fibre reinforced polymer under impact loading Universiteit Gent
Experimental and numerical analysis of the tendon repair process using tubular braided fabrics Universiteit Gent
Experimental and numerical slip line analysis of welded single-edge notched tension specimens Universiteit Gent
Flaw assessments assume homogeneous material properties, but welds are heterogeneous. A procedure to account for heterogeneity effects on crack driving force (developed at Ghent University and Limerick University) requires strength properties along slip lines originating from the defect tip. For uniaxial tension loading, these lines are assumed straight and oriented 45ยฐ to the axis of loading. The presented paper investigates the soundness of ...
A numerical dynamic analysis of a multi-body bus Universiteit Gent
Numerical simulation of cracked orthotropic materials using extended isogeometric analysis Universiteit Gent
Numerical Methods for Pattern and Bifurcation Analysis in Complex Networks KU Leuven
The thesis focuses on analyzing the phenomenon of pattern formation in (delay) coupled nonlinear systems. The starting points are works of Turing on morphogenesis and pattern formation, and Smale on determining conditions under which initially globally asymptotically stable systems being interconnected, exhibit emergent oscillatory behavior, possibly in a structured way (e.g. synchronous and partial synchronous oscillatory behavior). One of the ...
Application of fuzzy numerical techniques for product performance analysis in the conceptual and preliminary design stage KU Leuven
Uncertainty and variability modelling tools greatly enhance the value of virtual prototypes at the different design stages of a CAE process. The fuzzy analysis technique is suited to deal with models containing subjective non-deterministic parameters. This technique is finding its way to different disciplines of mechanical engineering. The objective of this paper is to increase the value of this technique in early stages of mechanical design ...
CFD simulation of cross-ventilation flow for different isolated building configurations: Validation with wind tunnel measurements and analysis of physical and numerical diffusion effects KU Leuven
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become one of the most important tools for the assessment of natural cross-ventilation of buildings. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of CFD simulations, solution verification and validation studies are needed, as well as detailed sensitivity studies to analyse the impact of computational parameters on the results. In a previous study by the present authors, the impact of a wide range of computational ...
Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Isothermal Opposing-jet Flows: towards Improved Airplane Cabin Mixing Ventilation Efficiency KU Leuven
Ventilation has an important impact on the quality of indoor environments, regarding e.g. the air quality or thermal comfort, but may contribute considerably to the energy use as well. In particular in airplane cabins, ventilation is indispensable due to the high occupant density within a confined air volume. Typically, the cabin main air distribution system supplies fresh (conditioned) ventilation air above the passenger zone (mixing ...
