Dear all,
Our group has recently published a paper on "Design and testing of tubular polymeric capsules for self-healing concrete". We have combined experiments and numerical simulations in order to optimize polymeric carrier capsules for their use in self-healing concrete. Interested?

Dear all,
Discrete approaches can be used in various areas of engineering and science.
Our group at TU Delft has recently published a paper on simulating shear failure in reinforced concrete using discrete (lattice) models. The paper can be found at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317617956_On_the_Potential_of_…;
Our recent paper on "Experimentally validated multi-scale modelling scheme of deformation and fracture of cement paste" published in "Cement and Concrete Research" is temporarily available for free download.

Our group has recently published a new paper on simulations and modelling of mechanical properties of cement paste in Cement and Concrete Research, the leading journal in the field.
Abstract:
Recent years have seen a lot of development in the field of self-healing materials. Our group at Delft University is working (for more than a decade) on development of self-healing concrete which uses bacterial spores embedded in the matrix to "heal" cracks. In recent years, the focus has shifted on development of numerical models as tools for development of these materials.
Our group recently published a paper on experiments and simulations of deformation and fracture in Gilsocarbon graphite.
