Bernat Masó, Ernest (Date of defense: 2014-02-07)
A significant number of buildings are supported by load-bearing masonry walls. The preservation of these worldwide used structures is a sustainable alternative. However, there is little research about the structural response ...
Bonada Bo, Jordi (Date of defense: 2014-01-23)
Cold-formed thin-walled steel sections are frequently used in pallet rack structures. This type of cross-sections are normally used as a columns and contains perforations uniformly distributed enabling the connection between ...
Gil Espert, Lluís (Date of defense: 1997-02-14)
El contenido de la tesis que se presenta se ha organizado de la manera siguiente:<br/><br/>A lo largo del capítulo 2 se describen los aspectos generales del estado del arte del análisis de sensibilidad, centrándose en las ...
Mora Cuevas, Miguel Genaro (Date of defense: 2016-02-02)
In the situation to make decisions about which risk mitigation measures -RMM- to implement and the performance level required, arises the need for a quantitative analysis of benefits that may be obtained as well as the ...
Musté Rodríguez, Marta (Date of defense: 2013-12-05)
In canine traumatology, one of the most common knee pathologies is torn cruciate ligament (ACL), the diagnosis and treatment costs were 1.32 billion dollars in the U.S. during 2003. The short-term effects are instability ...
Mercedes Cedeño, Luis Enrique (Date of defense: 2019-10-04)
In order to pursue sustainable objectives in the construction industry, a new composite material using vegetal fabric coated with resin and embedded into mortar was developed, characterized and applied on masonry walls. ...
Viglialoro, Giuseppe (Date of defense: 2007-03-14)
Las membranas son estructuras (sin rigidez a flexión) que conforman una superficie en el espacio, con espesor mínimo. Se aproximan a una superficie geométrica y trabajan sólo mediante esfuerzos de membrana (de tracción) y ...
Andreu Torras, Antoni (Date of defense: 2006-09-22)
Este trabajo tiene por objetivo desarrollar una estrategia orientada a resolver de forma computacional el equilibrio estático de las obras pétreas formadas por elementos unidimensionales empleando la analogía clásica de ...
Valcárcel Torres, Jairo Andrés (Date of defense: 2013-02-01)
Los daños por terremotos en edificios y sistemas esenciales han motivado la definición de estándares de comportamiento de estas instalaciones, buscando reducir las pérdidas económicas y la pérdida de funcionalidad. Varias ...
Cotela Dalmau, Jordi (Date of defense: 2016-01-15)
This thesis explores the use of stabilized finite element formulations for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to simulate turbulent flow problems. Turbulence is a challenging problem due to its complex and dynamic ...
Fabregat Sanjuan, Albert (Date of defense: 2015-07-15)
In this thesis the thermomechanical characterization of the shape memory alloy NiTiCu working as an actuator with different heat treatment (HT) temperatures has been carried out. The results from the tests carried on ...

La propuesta de una vejiga artificial es un obstáculo a trasponer. El cáncer de vejiga está entre los casos más frecuentes de enfermedades oncológicas en Estados Unidos y Europa. Ese cáncer es considerado un problema médico ...
Pelà, Luca (Date of defense: 2009-03-26)
The present work focuses on the formulation of a Continuum Damage Mechanics model for nonlinear analysis of masonry structural elements. The material is studied at the macro-level, i.e. it is modelled as a homogeneous ...
Blanco Ibáñez, Sergio (Date of defense: 2007-04-27)
Este trabajo presenta una reformulación de la metodología de discontinuidades fuertes de continuo para la simulación numérica del fallo material de estructuras.<br/>Los objetivos buscados han sido mejorar la robustez de ...
Guerrero Catells, Ángel (Date of defense: 2009-06-02)
El progresivo incremento de la altura de los Edificios de Gran Altura (EGA) ha aumentado las consecuencias reales y potenciales cuando irrumpen en ellos incendios naturales. A la vista de dichas pérdidas, el objeto principal ...
Samaniego Alvarado, Esteban (Date of defense: 2003-03-28)
El estudio de la mecánica computacional de fallo ha ganado creciente popularidad en los últimos años. Modelizar el comportamiento poscrítico de estructuras puede alcanzar un grado elevado de complejidad, debido a la ...
