Castellano i Costa, Jordi (Date of defense: 2016-02-01)
El desarrollo de la sostenibilidad en la edificación ha realizado un gran avance en los últimos diez años, mejoras en la eficiencia energética de los edificios con la incorporación del certificado de eficiencia energética ...
Iglesias, Alex (Date of defense: 2016-02-04)
Chatter is one of the major problems in today’s milling processes. Theoretical models to calculate stability lobes are used to predict and avoid chatter onset. However, current predictions are not accurate enough and ...
Guillamet Busquets, Gerard (Date of defense: 2016-07-11)
Departing from an emerging technology such as the spread tow thin-ply technology, in which the ply thickness can be significantly reduced, the overall purpose of this thesis is motivated by the industry need to better ...
Cabello Ulloa, Mario Javier (Date of defense: 2016-07-12)
The use of adhesive joints in industrial structural applications is currently growing. Nevertheless, the designing process is still a challenge for engineers because there is a lack of effective models to predict their ...
Massaguer Colomer, Eduard (Date of defense: 2016-07-26)
In this work, we investigate harvesting thermoelectric energy from wasted heat in fluid networks and propose a generic tool for the simulation and sizing of thermoelectric energy harvesters, that can be used in ...
Ortega Novillo, Adrián (Date of defense: 2017-04-20)
When a fibre-reinforced composite laminate is subjected to traction or compression, it develops a relatively large Fracture Process Zone where material toughening mechanisms such as matrix cracking, ...
Bagudanch Frigolé, Isabel (Date of defense: 2017-11-16)
Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) technology has been mainly applied on metallic sheets during the last years. ISF is used due to its flexibility, low costs, low batch production, production of complex geometries and customized ...
Gifra Bassó, Ester (Date of defense: 2018-03-05)
The primary objective of this research is to modify the models regularly used to record and monitor the implementation costs of public works projects from the perspective of the promotor, the project directors or the project ...
Emara, Mohamed Reda Ali Elewa (Date of defense: 2018-04-17)
The main objective of work has been to study the bond strength and bond-slip response of NSM CFRP strips in concrete when subjected to sustained loading under different environmental conditions. To this end, two experimental ...
Wagih Abdallah Abdel Hady, Ahmed (Date of defense: 2018-05-28)
The objective of the thesis is to provide scaling tool predicting the response of composite structures under out-of-plane loading by testing small coupons. This global objective cannot be achieved without understanding the ...
Massaguer Colomer, Albert (Date of defense: 2018-06-08)
The current work is focused on two areas related to thermoelectricity: (i) the study of the capability of controlling the thermal conductivity of TEMs and (ii) the development, testing and improvement of an automotive ...
Pérez Galmés, Magdalena (Date of defense: 2018-07-27)
Adhesives have been shown to be an excellent solution for joining fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) components thanks to their capacity to redistribute loads, reduces stress concentrations and contribute to overall weight ...
Soto Masip, Albert (Date of defense: 2018-09-07)
Fiber reinforced composite materials are nowadays used in several industrial applications that pursue structural weight reduction to reduce fuel consumption. The stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios of composite ...
Ricart Ferrer, Josep (Date of defense: 2019-02-07)
The reason for the writing of this doctoral thesis arises from the commitment adopted by COMEXI in order to put its products in the market making his products more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Is in this ...
Dorf, Tomasz (Date of defense: 2019-06-05)
Polymeric materials, which are suitable for high performance applications for example human implants are one of the most expensive available polymers. Standard injection micromoulding process, dedicated for mass production, ...
Guerra Sánchez, Antonio (Date of defense: 2019-06-06)
The main motivation of this work was to analyse the feasibility of the current stent’s manufacturing process to produce the new bioresorbable stents (BRS) as well as study new manufacturing methods. Fibre Laser Cutting ...
Carreras Blasco, Laura (Date of defense: 2019-07-17)
The overall purpose of this Ph.D. thesis is to contribute to the reliable design of composite structures subjected to fatigue-driven delamination. The aim is motivated by a wish to reduce the amount of experimental testing ...
Sasikumar, Aravind (Date of defense: 2019-07-18)
Despite the weight savings, composite materials are vulnerable to impact loads mainly due to the alarming reduction in the compression after impact strength (CAI). This thesis exploits the potential of laminate designs ...
Comamala Laguna, Martí (Date of defense: 2019-07-31)
Since the beginnings of the automotive driven with internal combustion engines all the cycles used in the alternative motors share a thermal characteristic, a large amount of heat released by the fuel is lost in the form ...
Quintanas Corominas, Adrià (Date of defense: 2019-10-11)
his doctoral thesis aims at developing and implementing a computational framework for performing virtual testing of composite structures using a High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment. In this sense, this thesis ...
