Once again, AMADE is happy to announce that a new PhD dissertation has been successfully presented. Magdalena Pérez, on July 27, presented her original research on the shear (mode II) fracture toughness in adhesive joints. She has used two new data reduction methods that allow...
AMADE is pleased to congratulate Laura Carreras for earning her PhD last July 17. She presented her thesis, a contribution to the reliable design of composite structures subjected to fatigue-driven delamination. A first step has been to design a method, using the cohesive zone model...
Make the most of a research stay: That is what Jordi Llobet did in the University of Aalborg (Denmark) under the supervision of Dr. Esben Lindgaard. Three months till June 1 were invested in developing a numerical application to couple the damage occurring inside the...
AMADE has been very well represented in the European Conference of Composite Materials - ECCM 2018 in Athens (June 25 to 28). Albert Turon, Norbert Blanco, Magdalena Pérez, Jordi Llobet, Aravind Sasikumar and Rodrigo Tavares have had the opportunity to communicate their latest advances in...
The contribution “Progressive Damage Modelling of open-hole carbon/epoxy laminates under tension-tension fatigue loadings” by J. Llobet, P. Maimí, A. Turon, B. L. V. Bak, E. Lindgaard, Y. Essa and F. M. de la Escalera has been presented by Jordi Llobet in the International Conference on...
Santiago García has been in the ESMC 2018 – 10th European Solid Mechanics Conference, held in Bologna (Italy) from July 2 to 6 presenting a contribution by S.M. García-Rodríguez, J. Costa, V. Singery and A. Sasikumar named On how matrix cracking induces delamination under out-of-plane...
AMADE congratulates Ahmed Wagih Abdallah for the successful presentation of his PhD Dissertation on May 28. The main goal of the contribution is to provide a scaling tool to predict the response of composite structures under out-of-plane loading by testing small coupons. In order to...
The Composite Structures issue of May 2018 includes a paper by Emara, M. et al. named Bond response of NSM CFRP strips in concrete under sustained loading and different temperature and humidity conditions. It presents the result of an experimental study on the performance of...
AMADE’s Testing Lab was audited again for the existing Nadcap scope. There were no findings and while fulfilling also other criteria defined in the Nadcap merit program, AMADE achieved the extension of accreditation length until 24 months. Nadcap is a cooperative industry effort to improve quality...
