Self-healing ice

Published on 10 December 2022 at 13:46

Make some ice-samples. I made small prisms 40x40x160mm. Attach some weights to a metal wire (copper is even better). Hang the wire over the middle of the sample and magic will happen.

William Pierson Field Visiting Lecturer

29 Sept 2024 21:08

This week I visited Princeton University as a William Pierson Field Visiting Lecturer. It was Prof. Reza Moini that took the initiative to invite me over to Princeton to deliver several lectures as part of his class on additive manufacturing of smart materials. Furthermore I gave a seminar at the Civil and Environmental Engineering department on "micro-mechanics, self healing and 3D-printing of cement-based materials". It was great to visit all the labs at Princeton and talk to the faculty members and students working on a lot of fantastic topics. This was really inspirational. Thanks Reza for organizing this visit!.

This week we had a JSPS-NWO joint seminar on "Resilient building and civil infrastructure resistant to extremely severe natural disasters". We visited different locations affected by the 2011 earth quake and tsunami in Japan. 7 Dutch representatives from Delft University and industry and 12 Japanese colleagues traveled together to these disaster spots and inspected the areas and listened to story's from local experts and survivors on what happened.
