Stiffness Reduction of Cold-Formed Steel Structures Subject to Sectional Buckling and Yielding
Published 2022The paper develops a stiffness reduction factor to be used in geometric nonlinear beam-element type elastic analysis of cold-formed steel structures. The factor accounts for the reduction in flexural and warping torsion ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Fracture Investigation of Welded Cruciform Connections
Published 2023As one of the main failure modes of steel structures, fracture in welded connections has widely been discussed based on experimental investigations and numerical simulations. However, the mechanical properties of the weld ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Strengths and Fracture Strains of Weld and HAZ in Welded Connections
Published 2023This paper investigates the strengths and fracture strains of weld and heat affected zone (HAZ) in welded connections for both the longitudinal and transverse directions and compares them to those of the base metal. A ...Open AccessReport, Research -
On the cooling potential of elastocaloric devices for building ventilation
Published 2021Refrigerants in vapor-compression systems have a global warming potential thousands of times that of carbon dioxide, yet their spread on the market is unrivalled. Elastocaloric systems, based on solid state cooling, feature ...Open AccessArticle -
Upscaling of SMA film-based elastocaloric cooling
Published 2020A new concept of upscaling a shape memory alloy (SMA) film based elastocaloric cooling device is presented by arranging SMA films in parallel to increase the specific cooling capacity at low actuation force, while maintaining ...Open AccessArticle
