Bhat “Development of a non-destructive evaluation technique based on data fusion for adhesive-bonded joints used in aircraft structures” doctoral dissertation defence https://en.ktu.edu/events/g-a-bhat-development-of-a-non-destructive-evaluation-technique-based-on-data-fusion-for-adhesive-bonded-joints-used-in-aircraft-structures-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:04:51 +0000 https://en.ktu.edu/events/g-a-bhat-development-of-a-non-destructive-evaluation-technique-based-on-data-fusion-for-adhesive-bonded-joints-used-in-aircraft-structures-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ The growing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient aircraft structures has prioritized the usage of adhesively bonded joints as an alternative to conventional joining techniques such as mechanical fastening and welding. Adhesive bonding offers several advantages, including uniform stress distribution, reduced structural weight, improved stiffness, and high impact resistance. However, the lack of a reliable nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique capable of accurately assessing bond integrity and detecting interfacial defects remains a major limitation to their wider industrial adoption, particularly in safety-critical sectors such as aerospace and automotive engineering.

Buivydas “Environmental Impact Assessment of the Fat Waste Use in the Biomethane Production” doctoral dissertation defence https://en.ktu.edu/events/e-buivydas-environmental-impact-assessment-of-the-fat-waste-use-in-the-biomethane-production-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:02:47 +0000 https://en.ktu.edu/events/e-buivydas-environmental-impact-assessment-of-the-fat-waste-use-in-the-biomethane-production-doctoral-dissertation-defence/ A review of the literature has shown that animal waste fats are slowly biodegradable under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, it can be expected that enriching animal manure, which is used to feed anaerobic biogas fermenters, with these fats will improve fat degradation and at the same time increase the methane concentration in biogas, the specific yields of biogas and methane from fat-enriched raw material mixtures. In addition, in the further purification process of such biogas, the need for electricity and methane emissions into the environment will decrease, i.e. the increasing methane concentration in biogas will mitigate the negative impact of the biogas purification process on the environment.

At the same time, large amounts of biodegradable waste are generated in the food industry and agriculture, which contain nutrients and organic carbon necessary for plants, but do not have high-quality processing technologies for high-added value products.

By controlling the concentration of the doped metals or by co-doping with several metals, it is possible not only to control the structure of diamond-like carbon coatings, but also to manage the mechanical and tribological properties.
