Abstract: Spiders often evoke fear and disgust, yet their silks and webs inspire awe and fascination, capturing human curiosity throughout history. From sparking the interest of ancient philosophers to influencing practical innovations, spider silk has long been intertwined with our

Abstract: The demand for lightweight battery enclosures in new energy vehicles has led to the increased use of aluminum alloys and polymer composites. However, the potential hazards associated with thermal runaway events in high-energy-density batteries necessitate advanced fire mitigation strategies.

Abstract: This study investigates defect formation during continuous-laser additive manufacturing of Inconel-718 through real-time monitoring integrating photodiodes and XCT tomography. Advanced machine learning techniques were applied to analyse and correlate thermal emission patterns with specific defects (LoF and Keyhole). The

Abstract: Coupon testing plays an important role in aeronautical design, providing a great understanding of material behaviour under different stress conditions. Integrating simulation at this stage could significantly reduce the need for extensive physical tests. This approach could reduce costs

It will take place in the Seminar Room from 3:30 pm to 4:45 pm. Session: • Transcending Nature’s Boundaries: Metamaterials. Jingyi Zhang, IMDEA Materials• Acoustic metamaterials for aerodynamic noise reduction in high-speed trains. Eduardo Latorre, Polytechnic University of Madrid• Multifunctional

The PhD Defense will take place at noon in the “Sala Echegaray (sala verde)” of the UPM Camino Campus (E.T.S.I de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid). The dissertation is entitled “Predicting Properties

The PhD Defense will take place at 11:30 am in the “Sala Verde” of the UPM Camino Campus (E.T.S.I de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid) The dissertation is entitled “Predicting the fire

Abstract: In the last two decades, transmission electron microscopes (TEM) have undergone a large number of improvements allowing few meV energy resolutions for a sub-angstrom electron beam. These performances offer new possibilities for probing the optical, dielectric and electronic properties

The PhD Defense will take place at 11:00 am in Sala Verde, E.T.S. de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid. The dissertation is entitled “Analysis of the Mechanical Behavior of PA12 Lattice Materials

It has been advised by Dr. Juan José Vilatela and Dr. Álvaro Ridruejo. The PhD defence will take place in the “Sala Verde en la E.T.S. de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos (UPM).” How to get there: Campus, Calle

Abstract: A study of the mechanics of nanowire network materials will be carried out in this doctoral thesis, materials that have been sparsely studied due to the vast amount of existing material. For this, experimental methods will be combined with

The PhD defence will take place in “Sala José Echegaray” at the Politechic University of Madrid: Caminos, Canales y Puertos (UPM) How to get there: Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos: Edificio Ciudad Universitaria The dissertation

Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the production of complex geometries across various materials, including metals, composites, and biomedical products. This seminar will delve into the intricacies of AM, covering the entire process from design

Abstract: Heart failure is a global health challenge that significantly contributes to mortality, comorbidities, and economic burdens. Acute myocardial infarction often leads to chronic heart failure due to the limited regenerative capacity of the human heart. Similarly, non-ischemic heart failure,

Abstract: Since the graphene discovery and its introduction as a wonder material followed by the Nobel Prize awarded in 2010, graphene has attracted the excitement of the scientific community around the world. In last two decades, the interest was focused

Abstract: Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are being investigated as therapeutic options for diseases involving cartilage and bone damage in osteochondral tissue. In addition, it represents a significant challenge to develop scaffolds to deal with osteochondral lesions due to the
