11. Benefits of strengthening timber with fibre-reinforced polymers
Abstract : As a material, timber offers a wide range of alternatives in terms of structural applications. The natural defects present in timber are, however, the source of large variations in mechanical properties. READ MORE

12. Fracture Mechanics in Design and Assessment of Existing Structures: Two Case Studies
Abstract : In the present thesis, the application of fracture mechanics in design and assessment of steel structures has been studied.The first case study concerns a ring-flange connection used in wind turbine towers. The flange is rolled from straight steel profile into a complete ring. READ MORE

13. Noise Aspects of some Si-based One Port Devices and Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract : The p-n junctions and Schottky diodes based on Si1-xGex and SiC are of great importance in modern electronic applications, such as microwave detectors and mixers. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have appeared recently as an attractive new class of materials with a reduced dimensionality, and proposed as building blocks for nanoelectronic technology. READ MORE

14. Additive manufacturing of Ni-based Superalloys- an analysis of parameter and strategy driven properties in Electron Beam Melting Process
Abstract : Metal AM processes produce significantly rough surfaces as compared to wrought or machined components. Currently, the as-EBM surfaces are extremely rough and consequently, the as-built components could not be directly used as commercial products. The state-of-the-art research has focused primarily on deeply machined (DM) samples. READ MORE

15. Predictive Modelling to Support Design and Manufacturing in Aerospace Engineering
Abstract : A crucial issue in the design of aircraft components is the evaluation of a large number of potential design alternatives. This evaluation involves too expensive procedures, consequently, it slows down the search for optimal design samples. READ MORE
