• Development and characterization of thermoelectric generators for thermal energy recovery from reciprocating internal combustion engines 

  Comamala Laguna, Martí (Date of defense: 31-07-2019)

  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 ...
• Contribution to bioabsorbable stent manufacture with additive manufacturing technologies 

  Guerra Sánchez, Antonio (Date of defense: 06-06-2019)

  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 ...
• Development of efficient testing methods and cohesive zone models for analyzing fatigue-driven delamination in 3D laminated composite structures 

  Carreras Blasco, Laura (Date of defense: 17-07-2019)

  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 ...
• Contributions to ultrasonic micro-moulding process of high performance polymers 

  Dorf, Tomasz (Date of defense: 05-06-2019)

  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, ...
• Analysis and development of experimental characterization methodologies of mode II fracture toughness on CFRP bonded joints 

  Pérez Galmés, Magdalena (Date of defense: 27-07-2018)

  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 ...
