Bank lending channel in a dual banking system : why are Islamic banks so responsive? Universiteit Gent
The impact of organizational structure and lending technology on banking competition KU Leuven
Recent theoretical models argue that a bank’s organizational structure reflects its lending technology. A hierarchically organized bank will employ mainly hard information, whereas a decentralized bank will rely more on soft information. We investigate theoretically and empirically how bank organization shapes banking competition. Our theoretical model illustrates how a lending bank’s geographical reach and loan pricing strategy is determined ...
Bending parameters in heat assisted air bending of high strength steels KU Leuven
The usage of high strength steels is a viable option for improving existing sheet metal constructions manufactured by air bending. This improvement can be achieved through increased payload, lighter structures or enlarged safety margins. Unfortunately, as these materials have limited cold formability, usually high strength steels cannot be formed with the same tooling as used for conventional steels. Thus, in the case of air bending, the forming ...
Bending incorporated: designing tension structures by integrating bending-active elements Vrije Universiteit Brussel
By integrating elastically bent, linear elements, a supporting system for membrane structures is created that provides more freedom in design and can reduce the required amount of external supports. To fully explore the potential and possibilities of shaping tension structures by integrating these bending-active elements, the authors developed an easy-to-use design tool for fast, robust and flexible modelling and form finding. This paper ...
Analytic model for multi-point large-radius bending of steel sheets Universiteit Gent
While the majority of industrial sheet bending processes consist of conventional air bending, more complex bending processes such as multi-point bending are also utilized. Multi-point bending involves forming several bends simultaneously with changing contact conditions. Of the various models that may be employed to simulate such processes, analytic models are most attractive for industrial applications as they are time-efficient, strongly ...
Bending crack behaviour of plain concrete beams externally reinforced with TRC Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper presents the experimental study
of concrete beams in bending, externally strengthened
with Textile Reinforced Cementitious materials
(TRC) with varying contact area with the concrete.
In order to study the pure influence of the TRC on the
concrete substrate, only non-internally-reinforced
concrete beams are considered. The crack pattern
evolution is monitored with Digital Image ...
