1. Continuous Fibre Reinforced Oxide/Oxide Composites
Abstract : The appealing properties of ceramics include retention of strength and hardness at high temperatures, chemical inertness and low density. However, monolithic ceramics fail in a brittle, unpredictable manner making them unsuitable for many applications where reliability is a key requirement. READ MORE

2. 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

3. Induction heating of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites : Characterization and modelling
Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are lightweight materials with great potential due to their high strength and stiffness relative to their weight. This enables weight reduction in, for example, vehicles, which is important in reducing energy consumption. READ MORE

4. Structural Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Beams using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer
Abstract : This thesis details experimental work and finite element simulations of reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). The objectives of this study were to investigate the behaviour of retrofitted beams experimentally, develop a finite element model describing the beams, verifying the finite element model against the experimental results and finally investigating the influence of different parameters on the behaviour of the retrofitted beams.

5. On Cohesive Modelling of Carbon/Epoxy Composites : Delamination and Fibre Compressive Failure
Abstract : Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers are widely used in engineering applications where weight saving and high mechanical performance are a key factors. However, an inheren tweakness of laminated CFRP:s is there relatively low resistance to delamination. Therst part of this thesis is devoted to extract cohesive laws associated with delamination.
