We are glad to announce our participation in “FORUM INDUSTRIAL 2018” (25th April; Girona) to explain you the details of the AMADE's research group and our Master of Science in Mechanics of Materials and Structures (mastermms.udg.edu)!! We would like to see you there!! More info: forum-industrial ...
AEMAC (La Asociación Española de Materiales Compuestos) interviewed Carlos Sarrado as the winner of the best PhD in the field of composite materials in Spain (V Premio a la Mejor Tesis Doctoral en Materiales Compuestos) awarded in the Matcomp congress in Sant Sebastian last year....
A new publication from the AMADE members Yi Liv et al. has appeared in the October issue of Composites Part B. The contribution “Experimental study into compression after impact strength of laminates with conventional and nonconventional ply orientations” makes an assessment of the advantage of...
AMADE group is happy to have had Ms. Carolina Furtado from the University of Porto performing a short experimental campaign in our facilities from 23-10-2017 to 4-11-2017 on the experimental determination of the crack resistance curves of thin-ply nano-reinforced interfaces under supervision of Prof. Pedro...
Magdalena Pérez greets us from the Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. She has been working there for three months, among other things, on the implementation of an MMB test, on the test of wood adhesive joints and on using accoustic...
During the week of March 5th-9th, and in the framework of the Master's Mechanics of Materials and Structures we will receive the visit of two leading researchers on composites: Dr. Frederic Laurin (ONERA) and Dr. Giuseppe Catalanotti (Queen's University, Belfast). Dr. Laurin will give us 4...
Presentation of the PhD disertation "A contribution to understand CAI of composite laminates" by Yi Liv Yi Liv has presented a disertation on the influence of the layup on the CAI strength of laminates. An experimental investigation has been carried out to validate the hypothesis that...
AMADE has a brand new multifatigue test rig for the mode II and mixed mode testing of interlaminar fracture. As can be seen in the video, this test rig, similar to the one we have for mode I, allows the simultaneous testing of different specimens and...
The University of Girona has hosted the winter meeting of the fib Task Group 2.1 “Serviceability Models”. The meeting took place on 22 January 2018 with the participation of 17 members. The main current objectives of the group are the publications of technical reports...
A new paper published by J. Llobet et al. (A fatigue damage and residual strength model for unidirectional carbon/epoxy Composites under on-axis tension-tension loadings) is included in the October issue of the International Journal of Fatigue. It presents a phenomenological model for the prediction of...
