FMLs are hybrid composite materials built up from interlacing layers of thin metals and composites that were created in the aeronautical sector in order to combine the advantages of composites and metals. The main disadvantage ...

Estudios recientes muestran que las medidas de la UE y los esfuerzos relacionados con la industria deberían aumentarse para alcanzar el objetivo de ahorro de energía. Una de las medidas de ahorro de energía en el entorno ...

Ageing of the population together with the increase of life’s quality in developed societies, has lead to a change of population needs from the health point of view. Dentist placing dentures are increasingly fewer, since ...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are metallic alloys with different thermomechanical properties compared to more conventional ones such as iron or aluminum alloys. This kind of alloys have two types of behaviours depending on the ...

Low weight is one of the most important design criteria to be considered during the selection of the material for different applications. Weight saving is necessary in the applications where the components are in motion. ...

Although the deployment of wireless systems is widespread, there are still sectors where they are not used due to their lack of reliability in comparison to wired systems. Sectors like industry or vehicle communications ...

Lightness and appropriate mechanical response of materials are currently demanded in many applications related to transportation (automotive, aeronautic). Depending on the component, an appropriate mechanical behaviour may ...

Dental implants have emerged as the preferred choice for tooth replacement, reaching about one million implantations per year. Among factors affecting dental implant success, surface topography has been recognised as an ...

In this doctoral thesis the transport properties in ternary mixtures are analysed. The general objective of the work, is the determination of the thermodiffusion, molecular diffusion and Soret coefficients in ternary ...

The safety assessment of mixed-criticality systems (MCS) is a challenging activity due to system heterogeneity, design constraints and increasing complexity. The foundation for MCSs is the integrated architecture paradigm, ...
