1. Mechanical Characterization of Heterogeneous Brittle Materials
Abstract : Comminution is one of the highest energy-consuming processes in the mining and mineral processing industry by consuming around 2% of the global generated energy with an overall efficiency of 1-3%. Different approaches to the optimization of processes have been developed, but there is still room for improvement. READ MORE

2. Steel fibrous cement based composites: material and mechanical properties : behavior in the anchorage zones of prestressed bridges
Abstract : This PhD thesis is divided into two parts. Part one dealswith the development of the material and the mechanicalproperties of Steel Fibrous Cement Based Composites (SFCBC) forimproving bridge design and construction. It familiarizes thehydration mechanisms of the high performance concrete with thehelp of Powers´ and Jensen´s models. READ MORE

3. Investigations on the Serviceability Limit State of Dowel-Type Timber Connections
Abstract : Dowel-type steel-to-timber connections are commonly used to transfer a large range of loads. Although they are simple to produce and assemble, the load-carrying behavior and the local stress and strain distribution within the connection area are highly complex. READ MORE

4. Reliability, fatigue and mechanical characterization of lead-free solders for electronic packaging applications
Abstract : The ever increasing amount of electronic waste, most of which ends up in landfills, has become a serious worldwide concern. In addition to this, the fact that Pb is highly toxic and harmful to humans has lead to the ban of this element from the electronics industry. READ MORE

5. Mechanical characterization and modelling of the fracture behaviour of thin brittle coatings on polymer films
Abstract : Thin brittle coatings with thickness of a few nanometres deposited on flexible polymer substrates form an interesting material combination for food packaging and flexible electronics. This combination may enhance the barrier performance in carton packages. In flexible electronics, coatings could conduct electricity despite their small thickness. READ MORE
