Micromechanical models of delamination in aluminum-lithium alloys
… alloys often fracture intergranularly via a mechanism called delamination cracking. While secondary delamination cracks can improve the effective toughness of a component, no current model accurately predicts the initiation and growth of intergranular cracks. Since simulations cannot …

In-situ corrosion health monitoring and prediction in miltary vehicles.
… failure due to various corrosion failure mechanisms. Protective coatings tend to prevent the effect of physical and chemical attack on substrates. However, in some circumstances this attack is promoted, rather than hindered, and this results in the failure of coatings. This thesis presents …

Refined theories and Discontinuous Galerkin methods for the analysis of multilayered composite structures
… one of the major reasons of failure. Since the delamination's presence has to be taken into account, damage tolerance analysis have to be carried out in order to understand the structure's capabilities to continue bearing loads without incurring in critical failure. The crack-growth simulation …
