• Investigation of micro-architected materials with unusual combinations of stiffness and damping 

      Auria Rasclosa, Borja (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya / University of California, 2010)
      Projecte/Treball Final de Carrera
      Accés obert
      It has been known for many years that properties of individual materials can be improved by appropriately combining two materials in a composite. A stiff and a lossy material can be joined to achieve desired combinations ...
    • Optimal design of metal/elastomer hybrid lattices for combined stiffness and damping 

      Güell Izard, Anna (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012)
      Projecte/Treball Final de Carrera
      Accés obert
      A number of advanced engineering systems require structures that are stiff and strong, while being capable of efficiently damping vibrations. These conflicting requirements are typically addressed by connecting two components, ...
