Research

My research focuses on the development of experimental techniques to measure (mechanical) properties of materials. Furthermore the focus is on the development of models to support the testing and simulate the material behaviour. Aim is to explain failure mechanisms in materials and structures. Explanation of failure and degradation mechanisms are important to be able to find solutions to stop or slow down the degradation or develop strategies to prevent them in the future. The techniques are applied to develop new materials that are more durable, sustainable, self-healing and self-sensing and can be 3D-printed.
