Aida Cameselle Molares completed her PhD Thesis focusing on potential 2D effects on the 2D delamination in laminates and 2D debonding in face sheet/core interfaces of sandwich structures that are not captured by 1D fracture mechanics tests.
The PhD thesis entitled « Two‐dimensional crack growth in FRP laminates and sandwich panels » was defended on April 2, 2019 in front of a jury composed of Prof. Thomas Keller and Dr. Anastasios P. Vassilopoulos (CCLab, thesis supervisors), Prof. Leif A. Carlsson (Florida Atlantic University, external examiner), Prof. João P. Ramôa Correia (Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisboa, external examiner), Dr. Andreas Brunner (EMPA, internal examiner) and Prof. Eugen Brühwiler (MCS, jury president).
Accepted without reservation, the thesis was then presented to the public on May 3, 2019.
