Mérope is a software devoted to the geometrical design and the discretization of microstructures of random heterogeneous materials. Mérope aims at building large samples of microstructured materials, called Representative Volume Elements, in order to derive their effective physical behaviors. Various microstructures are supported: spherical, polyhe...
The quest for sustainable, efficient energy systems is more pressing than ever as we step into the 21st century. Finding the suitable materials for a specific technology is a very challenging task. The required properties can be unique to particular chemical compositions and structures. Furthermore, achieving high performance often demands the prec...
Micro-instability and multi-stability phenomena play a key role in various mechanical and physical systems, both artificial and biological. As such, their understanding is addressed in a wide field of studies, with many practical and theoretical applications. The modeling of the temperature effect on micro-instabilities, appearing in different arti...
[EN] This article includes the results obtained in the practical laboratory sessions of the subject “Chemical Fundamentals for Engineering I”, which is part of the basic training of the new degree of Physical engineering of the Higher Technical School of Telecommunications Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València. The theoretical part...

Initially, research disciplines operated independently, but the emergence of trans-disciplinary sciences led to convergence research, impacting graduate programs and research laboratories, especially in bioengineering and material engineering as presented here. Current graduate curriculum fails to efficiently prepare students for multidisciplinary ...
Noise sources are one of the critical factors that determine the performance of qubits in quantum computing applications. Noise sources refer to any external factors that can cause errors or decoherence in a qubit. In this thesis, we have simulated these effects in the case of a hole spin qubit in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology.Charge fluctu...

This study is aimed at evaluating the strength of stabilised soil collected from the Port of Norvik, Stockholm, Sweden, where 350,000 m3 of clay had to be stabilized. The tests were performed in the laboratory of the Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI). The soil was stabilised by binder mixtures using Portland cement clinker (PCC) and lime and lim...
Imaging of thermal properties allows the development of new heterogeneous materials whose properties are adapted to the intended application. In modern applications, materials are often composite in both thickness and plane. Therefore, the determination of thermal properties must be adapted to the scale of observation, from micron to the component ...

Developing a robust roller compaction process can be challenging, due to the diversity in process parameters and material properties of the components in a formulation. A major challenge in dry granulation is the reduction of tablet strength as a result of re-compaction of the materials. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of excipie...

Surface modification of various materials using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation improves their wettability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the wettability of a β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) surface and the composition changes and bioactivity of β-TCP after UV irradiation. We applied 172 nm UV treatment to a β-TCP surface and measured the ...
