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 ...
Guerrero Garcia, José Manuel (Date of defense: 2020-02-07)
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, ...
Manterola Najera, Julen (Date of defense: 2020-07-16)
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 ...
Jahani, Younes (Date of defense: 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 ...

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 ...
Polonio Alcalá, Emma (Date of defense: 2023-05-17)
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 ...
Gómez Colom, Javier (Date of defense: 2022-01-14)
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 ...
