AMADE has nearly two decades of experience in the study, characterisation and analysis of the mechanical behaviour of advanced materials and structures.
COMPOSITES
Understanding the mechanical behaviour and fracture of composite materials and developing robust and reliable numerical models for an improved structural design.
STRUCTURES
Study of structural design with advanced materials.
OUR SERVICES
Composite testing lab
Highly capable composites testing laboratory based in Girona’s technology park.
CHARACTERISATION TESTS
Standard and state-of-the-art material characterisation tests.
Non-Destructive Inspection lab
Inspection of microstructure and surface and internal defects
Simulations
Development of numerical models for the analysis of advanced materials.
SERVICES
Our experience allows us to offer a wide range of services on two main blocks:
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MECHANICS OF MATERIALS & STRUCTURES
The knowledge adquired in our AMADE research team is transferred to the Official Master’s degree of the European Higher Education Area: Master of Science in Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MMS) at the University of Girona

Unsymmetrical stacking sequences as a novel approach to tailor damage resistance under out-of-plane impact loading
It can be said that it is common wisdom that laminates must be symmetric. However, in some special cases, the use of unsymmetrical laminates can be of advantage when the load cases induce unevenly distributed stresses. This recent contribution by AMA

Virtual calculation of the B-value allowables of notched composite laminates.
The Composite Structures issue of last March includes a paper that addresses the problem of defining the design parameters (B-basis design allowables) that are to be used in notched configurations of CFRP laminates. The allowables must account for th

Presentation of the PhD dissertation “Development of efficient numerical models for the simulation of low velocity impact and compression after impact on composite structures” by Albert Soto Masip
On September 7th , AMADE’s PhD student Albert Soto has very satisfactorily presented his PhD dissertation. This contribution is aimed at imporving the design of relatively large composite sub-components under the potential failure caused by low veloc
