Demonstration of an adaptable structure for architecture applications (HYPERMEMBRANE-DEMO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
The HyperMembrane consists on a system of a Physical and Digital elements that will allow a shape adaptable constructionsystem –and its procedure to put in shape- able to generate multiple and non-predetermined shapes, modifiable regardingto different spatial, solar or energetic requirements.- Physical HyperMembrane is an amazingly shape-adaptable selfsupportingstructure (roof, façade,…) able to s ...

Ultra-lightweight structures with integrated photovoltaic solar cells: design, analysis, testing and application to an emergency shelter prototype (ULITES)
Start date: Jan 7, 2013, End date: Jan 6, 2015,
The introduction of new technologies in the fabrication of light-weight high-performance materials for civil-engineering applications opens many new possibilities for the design of extremely lightweight structures. In particular, the inclusion of photo-voltaic cells together with the use of carbon-fiber cables will allow new design concepts combining an extreme lightness with an excellent structur ...

Multiscale reinforcement of semi-crystalline thermoplastic sheets and honeycombs (M-RECT)
Start date: Apr 15, 2010, End date: Apr 14, 2014,
The M-RECT project aims to create multiscale-reinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastics (PEEK and PPS), which will outperform all reinforced polymers in terms of strength, stiffness, creep and mainly damping by upscaling and further developing state of the art production methods, within cost-efficient manufacturing routes. The envisaged multiscale reinforcement will comprise of dispersed straighte ...

Development of a universal flood protection tool using the force of the water to protect against floods (INFLATER)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
"The flooding of rivers has always been a problem, and thanks to advances in civil engineering humans learnt of methods to keep the river in its bed. In urban areas especially, but in rural areas as well, embankments have been built to keep the river where it belongs. Unfortunately even with embankments flooding occurs as we can see it all over Europe and the World. Due to global warming flooding ...
