Lyu, Haixia (Date of defense: 2020-11-17)
This dissertation focuses on determining the vertical electron content distribution in low and high vertical resolution from ground-based and LEO on board GNSS data and improving the knowledge of ...
Asadipour, Nina (Date of defense: 2016-03-04)
We present a cell-centred model for the simulation of multicellular soft tissues that takes into account the underlying active process at the cytoskeletal level, and allows for active and passive cell-cell ...
Codony, David (Date of defense: 2021-03-01)
This PhD thesis focuses on the development of mathematical and computational models for flexoelectricity, a relatively new electromechanical coupling that is present in any dielectric at the micron and ...
Muixí Ballonga, Alba (Date of defense: 2020-11-30)
This thesis proposes a new computational model for the efficient simulation of crack propagation, through the combination of a phase-field model in small subdomains around crack tips and a discontinuous ...
Moreira Filho, Carlos Augusto (Date of defense: 2022-07-21)
This thesis develops numerical methods to improve the accuracy and computational efficiency of the part-scale simulation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) (or 3D printing) metal processes. AM is characterized ...
Andujar Moreno, Rabindranath (Date of defense: 2015-02-03)
This thesis explores a very well understood area of physics: computational structural dynamics. The aim is to stretch its boundaries by merging it with another very well established discipline such as ...
Moreno Martínez, Laura (Date of defense: 2021-09-22)
Viscoelastic fluids are a type of non-Newtonian fluids which are formed by complex internal structures and high-molecular-weight, whose typical examples are the polymer solutions and molten polymers. ...
Liravi, Hassan (Date of defense: 2022-07-29)
This thesis is concerned with the development of efficient and practical numerical methodologies to deal with longitudinally invariant soil-structure interaction problems in elastodynamics. All the ...
