1. Joining of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics for Automotive Applications
Abstract : The introduction of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics in loadbearing automotive structures provides a great potential toreduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption. To enable themanufacture and assembly of composite structural parts,reliable and cost-effective joining technologies must bedeveloped. READ MORE

2. Plate bonding : strengthening of existing concrete structures with epoxy bonded plates of steel or fibre reinforced plastics
Abstract : This thesis deals with several aspects of the plate bonding problem, i.e. when steel or fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) plates are bonded to a concrete structure with the use of an epoxy adhesive. Both theoretical work and laboratory tests are presented as well as a full scale test on a strengthened concrete bridge. READ MORE

3. On the multifunctional performance of structural batteries
Abstract : The structural battery composite is a composite material that can store electrical energy (i.e. work as a battery) while simultaneously provide mechanical integrity in a structural system. Due to its inherent ability to store energy this material offers significant weight savings on a system level. READ MORE

4. Material characterisation for crash modelling of composites
Abstract : The transport industry must find solutions to reduce its impact on climate change. A promising way to reduce the weight of vehicles and therefore to reduce the CO2 emissions is to introduce components made of lightweight composite materials, in particular carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs).

5. An Experimental Investigation of Shape Distortions in Aerospace Composites
Abstract : Composite materials are increasingly used in primary structure of modern commercial aircraft. Its excellent material characteristics enables reduction of structural weight compared to traditional metal solutions and thereby offers reduction of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
