Ruiz Cózar, Ivan (Fecha de defensa: 2024-06-14)
In recent decades, several meso-scale computational models have been developed for predicting the failure evolution and strength of composite materials. Nevertheless, the complex failure mechanisms of composites pose a ...
Soto Masip, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...
Carreras Blasco, Laura (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...
Comas Hervada, Bruna (Fecha de defensa: 2014-07-14)
Flame spread over solid samples has been studied from many points of view, as it is key for fire safety, yet it is a complex phenomenon that involves processes occurring in both the solid and the gas phases. This Ph.D. ...
Budhe, Sandip Rudha (Fecha de defensa: 2014-07-24)
In recent years, the use of composite materials in the aeronautic, automotive, marine construction, etc. has increased significantly. Hence, there is an increasing need for repair technologies on primary structural components, ...
Jahani, Younes (Fecha de defensa: 2022-11-11)
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 ...
Ribera Roget, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2013-03-20)
This doctoral thesis explores HR management through systems of production incentives in the construction sector which has been instrumental to the Spanish economy. The transformation of a time-based payment system to a ...
