La present tesi doctoral s’ha centrat en el repte d’aconseguir, mitjançant Fabricació Additiva (FA), models per a assaig quirúrgic, sota la premissa que els equips per fer-los haurien de ser accessibles a l’àmbit hospitalari. ...
(English) In recent years, the use of prostheses has widely increased due to their ability to replace defective parts of the skeleton. Among artificial implants, hip joint plays a critical role in the human body since it ...
A problem is not a problem anymore if no solution exists; therefore, in the present dissertation, a novel manufacturing technique, the In Situ Forming of a Liquid Infused Preform (ISFLIP), is proposed as a solution to some ...
This thesis has been focused on optimizing the resistent capacity and reducing the permeability of fine and clay granular soils through the MICP (Microbiologically induced calcite precipitation). MICP is a natural biological ...
The human spine provides mechanical support to the trunk while it protects the spinal cord and nerves from the external loads transferred during daily activities. Such loads are largely controlled by the spine muscles and ...
(English) The primary goal of this thesis is to unlock the potential of hemp stalk, an agricultural byproduct that currently lacks practical applications. The overarching aim is to promote the use of eco-friendly materials, ...
Structural health monitoring has been defined as the acquisition, validation and analysis of technical data to facilitate life- cycle management decisions. It is the result of a convergent path from many previous existing ...
The notion of metamaterials as artificially engineered structures designed to obtain specific material properties, typically unachievable in naturally occurring materials, has captured the attention of the scientific and ...
(English) In this thesis, the mechanical behavior of parts manufactured by Material Extrusion Modeling (MEX) has been evaluated, using a copolimer of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), commercially known ...
The mobility of the future undoubtedly involves the electrification of vehicles. The increase in social awareness towards a reduction in CO2 emissions, together with the introduction of new laws regulating them, has finally ...
This research is based upon the additive manufacturing (AM) technology which aims to study the mechanical properties of innovative commercial wood-PLA composite material (Timberfill) and characterize its behavior. Specifically ...
