Tissue Engineering plays a vital role in tissue construct to repair, maintain or replace tissues. Those tissues can be cultivated in vivo or in vitro using devices such as bioreactors. There are several approaches to ...
This thesis investigates the fatigue behaviour of fibre-reinforced composite laminates. Fatigue of composite materials is a complex subject both from an experimental and numerical modelling point of view. In this context, ...
In this thesis, a micromechanical model for predicting the tensile failure process in hybrid and non-hybrid unidirectional composite materials under fibre tensile loading is developed. Derived from this, the influence that ...
Cohesive zone models are widely used for modelling delamination and bonded joints under different loading conditions. In the current thesis, an objective inverse method has been developed to extract the cohesive law from ...
Advanced joining technologies such as bonded joints play an important role to develop more efficient and durable structures. The present Thesis gives a step forward and proposes different solutions to characterise the ...
The main objective of this work is to study the long-term and residual flexura! strength of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) strengthened Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) strips when ...
THE GARDEN CITY. This is the name under which Eixample Malagrida (the extension district) of the city of Olot is known; this is what it was called in the only plans available to us of the project that was born in the middle ...
NSM strengthening technique under the influence of temperature and relative humidity, in which the interaction between materials involved is analyzed, is studied in this PhD. Therefore, this work is aimed at contributing ...
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15-20% of the breast cancers and displays an aggressive profile, poor prognosis, high relapse risk and does not have a targeted therapy. In the last years, breast cancer ...
Elastoplastic energy dissipators are used in earthquake-resistant design in order to dissipate a substantial part of the seismic energy acting on a building. They are elements that are not part of the load-bearing structure ...
The rehabilitation of civil structures has been gaining importance during the last decades. Owing to their mechanical, corrosion resistance and lightweight properties, Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) present an ...
First part of this research is focused in validating the Exhaust Gas Heater (EGH) viability in reducing NOx emissions without negative effects in a standard exhaust gas circuit. Experimentation was held using a HDV Euro ...
There is a general trend towards rehabilitation and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to the costs associated with the replacement of the structural members and the environmental impact ...
The rate-dependent behaviour of the interlaminar fracture toughness of fibre reinforced composites has been a matter of research during the last decades. However, the results obtained so far are not conclusive and further ...
In recent years, additive manufacturing technologies (3D printing) have been introduced in different fields, such as locomotion and bioengineering, among others. Extrusion by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Fused ...
Although there are therapies for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and epidermal growth factor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (EGFRm NSCLC), these two subtypes of cancer are very aggressive, and most patients develop ...
Adhesive bonds could replace more traditional mechanical joints, making structures lighter and smoother. Stresses are distributed over a larger area, and dissimilar materials can be bonded, accommodating differences in ...
