Topic: Impact of freeze-thaw cycles on wrapped composite joint durability
Description: This research aims to gain first insight into a subject not studied in the context of the wrapped composite joint before, the effect of freeze-thaw cycles. A broad overview is created by including a vast range of experimental and numerical subjects discussing the external degradation and internal degradation, through (microscopic) surface investigation, gravimetric measurements, quasi-static tensile tests and a numerical evaluation of heat transfer and developing strains on joint geometries.
Track: Structural Engineering
