The studies presented in this thesis aim to extend the current knowledge and understanding of the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline materials with respect to temperature- and time dependence. Free standing electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel speci ...
Resource management processes that lead to value creation for customers are not yet fully understood. This paper sheds light on managerial decisions regarding the processes of structuring, bundling and leveraging of external resources that possess knowledg ...
Building on the research on the industrial potential of digital fabrication technologies commenced by the late University of Melbourne academic, Professor Bharat Dave, this paper explores actual patterns of technological adoption within communities of prac ...

The chapter is based on new empirical data collected through primary surveys and in-depth interviews with Indian skilled migrants in Europe and with returnees in India. The study found that Indian skilled professionals, scientists and students are contribu ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
Integrated circuit packaging technology has become a prime design consideration for the develop-ment of electronic system concepts. One key issue is the bonding layer between chip and substrate. Currently, high-lead solder materials are being used, which a ...
It is commonly accepted that the majority of engineering failures happen due to fatigue or fracture phenomena. Adhesive bonding is a prevailing joining technique, widely used for critical connections in composite structures. However, the lack of knowledge ...
Water absorption and thermal response of adhesive composite joints were investigated by measurements and numerical simulations. Water diffusivity, saturation, swelling, and thermal expansion of the constituent materials and the joint were obtained from gra ...
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the use of heat-activated shape memory polymers (SMPs) as novel smart actuators for the controlled delivery of fluids and their suitability for applications such as low-cost drug delivery. On heating to temper ...
The thermomechanical response of a series of thermally activated shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs), determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), has been adjusted by systematic modification of the molecular architecture. It is argued that the free rec ...
