1. Simultaneous Topology and Material Optimization of Composite Structures under Uncertainty
Abstract : Composite materials are known to have superior stiffness and strength properties per unit weight compared to metallic materials. These properties and the ability to tailor the mechanical properties of composites is the main motivation for choosing composite materials for structural components. READ MORE

2. Guided wave-based approach for health monitoring of composite structures; Application to wind turbine blades
Abstract : The use of composite materials has increased in manufacturing of large structures. These structures can be subjected to different types of defects, for which detection has always been a challenge. READ MORE

3. Residual stresses and shape distortion in composite structures
Abstract : High performance composites usually consist of continuous fibres and a thermoset matrix. One well-known example from the aerospace industry is carbon fibre epoxy composites. For that reason the manufacturing processes of thermoset composites are subject to extensive research. READ MORE

4. Prefabricated composite bridges : a study of dry deck joints
Abstract : This thesis deals with prefabricated composite bridges in general, and prefabricated concrete deck elements with dry joints in particular.As outlined in Paper I and Chapter 2 prefabrication has several advantages over in situ construction, and has hence been discussed for decades in the construction business.

5. Structural Composite Lithium-Ion Battery : Effect of Intercalation induced volumetric changes on micro-damage
Abstract : The quest for lighter materials and structures to reduce climate impacts in the automotive industry has paved the way for multifunctional solutions. Mass saving on a system level can be achieved by materials or structures having more than one primary function, thus reducing the number of components used. READ MORE
